I haven't noticed any other differences in my blood sugars, but I also didn't find gliclazidr effective in reducing blood sugar to begin with. I was on the max dosage and still had high blood sugars (teens to 20s).I never had any gastro issues with gliclazide, but my urine would smell like sulfur if I didn't drink enough water.Talk to your medical team about discontinuing the meds. My doctors said I could half or discontinue completely when I started basal insulin.  They never mentioned anything about needing to wean off or anything, but I don't know your medical history.</blockquote>
