I need to let off steam

I think there is a problem with the Sulphonyureas (Gliclazide etc). I was on max dose of 320gm and no one ever warned me of the hypo risks although I was quite knowledgeable, read the leaflet etc so was aware of the risk. I was never offered a meter as 'a T2 doesn't need one'. I was amazed a few years back at a local DUK group meeting how ignorant most of the diabetics present were. They hadn't a clue what their db drugs were for or how they worked. You can't therefore assume that people will manage their condition well and sadly so many docs don't provide the right guidance either.
