[QUOTE="miahara, post: 2429323, member: 256148"] I was prescribed gliclazide on initial diagnosis and it combined with a low carb diet and exercise did certainly reduce my HbA1c levels for a while. However eventually my HbA1c started to rise quite rapidly and my GP referred me to secondary care and the diabetes clinic where I was prescribed insulin with the result that my HbA1c has now fallen to an acceptable level. The average GP has no in depth understanding of diabetes due to very limited training on what is a complex range of conditions ; can't really be too critical as they are by definition 'generalists'.
