[QUOTE="Art Of Flowers, post: 1477709, member: 375067"] Gliclazide can result in hypos if you eat low carb. If so, reduce or stop taking it as it is not needed. After a few weeks of a low carb diet you should get your fasting blood glucose below 7. You should be aiming for no more than 8.5 two hours after a meal. At diagnosis my HbA1C was 99 and four months later it had dropped to 59, mostly due to eating less carbohydrates. I went down from taking two to one 500mg Metformin per day and three months later my HbA1C went down further to 44 as I cut out even more carbs. I then stopped taking Metformin. Most people with type 2 can get their HbA1C down to non diabetic levels (below 42) within nine months on a LCHF diet, and even quicker if they also do intermittent fasting. Once you get your blood sugars under control the need for medications reduces. Get a blood glucose meter to check your progress. [/QUOTE]
