My endo told me I could not possibly hypo, but with about 40 to 80 grams of carbs a day, I most certainly did. I became confused, contrary, and weak in the legs when hitting a three. Gliclazide forces the pancreas to churn out insulin, but it doesn't stop when you've had enough to cover your foods... It just keeps going, even if you don't need more insulin. So hence the caveat. Lower carbs would be helpful to your over all health, I do believe.... But you have to be careful, and maybe adjust your medication. (Thankfully, I had a GP who DID listen and took me off the gliclazide. Otherwise I'd still be going down regularly seven years in.)A CGM sounds like an excellent idea! Good luck!Jo</blockquote>
