[QUOTE="bmorgen, post: 374775, member: 20786"] It's ironic that you refer to gliclazide as the drug of choice "today" since it is a 50 year old drug with the extreme side effect of causing hypos. It's dirt cheap. Hence it is the NHS drug of choice. The fact that it is very very dangerous is offset by its low cost. NICE is not nice. Victoza, on the other hand, works better and has no serious side effects on the whole. The NHS seems to have plenty of money to handle diabetic hypos in A&E but no money for new, safer drugs. Sad.
