[QUOTE="Is Vic There ?, post: 2422940, member: 521133"] Thankyou everyone for the genuine and brilliant responses. I personally don't want to go to insulin , it was suggested by the diabetic clinic leader in my local GP that I switch to insulin but I have refused. However, I have wondered if a short term on insulin would allow me to gain better control and for me to return to diet and Metformin+Glicazide with more success. I can see that there are some people here who really believe in the low carb diet and I expect that some low carb meals might help but I often have meals with very low carb and still I struggle to get my numbers down. I read the suggestion of alternative Drugs other than Metformin and Glicazide but I think it will have to be me who tells the GP Diabetes clinic what I want to try because the only suggestion they have is insulin. Perhaps there is something that would work better for me but I have not found it yet , I have often seen comments that glicazide can cause low blood sugar levels , I have been taking Glicazide with Metformin for 12 years and never had low sugar levels. perhaps another Sulphonylureas drug would work better for me ! Perhaps someone here has changed some aspect of their drugs that has a had a better result for them , afterall some people have had some dramtic results with certain drugs and others have had no real benefit which shows we all react differently to these drugs. After 12 years I think it's time for a change. [/QUOTE]
