[QUOTE="Boo1979, post: 1978947, member: 446715"] Diamicron is one of the brand names for Gliclazide Yes Ive been on Gliclazide for a long time and it can cause hypos as it mainly works by stimulating the pancreas to produce more insulin, particularly first phase insulin production. I was originally on ‘normal’ Gliclazide but was then switched to the modified release (Diamicrom MR) version which the hospital said would produce fewer hypos Did you have any alcohol with your meal? - alcohol combined with Gliclazide or similar drugs increases the risk of hypos Do you know whay your sugars were before you went on your walk? - starting even leisurely exercise if your sugars are already on a 4/5 when you are on Gliclazide or similar drugs increases the risk of hypo. I would agree with discussing the situation with your GP as the dose / formulation of your meds may need altering [/QUOTE]
