[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1450717, member: 94045"] How closely are you watching the carbs? Watching them often isn't enough. You need to count how many grams you eat each meal, and use a meter to test your reaction. Test before you eat and again 2 hours after first bite. Keep a food diary including portion sizes and record your levels alongside. Look at the rise from before to after and try to keep this under 2mmol/l. (preferably less). More than that and there are too many carbs in that meal so you need to eliminate some or reduce portion sizes. You do need to test regularly on Gliclazide otherwise you may go too low and hypo. Gliclazide stimulates the pancreas to produce extra insulin, and this extra is not needed if the carbs are low. Less carbs = less insulin required. Too much insulin and your levels drop, so you need to be careful. [/QUOTE]
