Message: <blockquote data-quote="TokSik" data-source="post: 287944" data-attributes="member: 39822">I'm on 3 x 850mg per day (been on that for about 5 years now), and don't get any more aggressive than I was prior to being diagnosed type 2. My blood sugar levels are usually in the 9 - 12 range first thing in the morning, but come down to about 6 if I exercise strenuously (bike riding fast, and/or digging a friends allotment). I've already tried the other drugs (daily Pioglitazone 15mg x 1, Gliclazide 80mg x 4, Sitagliptin 100mg x 1, Simvastatin 10mg x 1, but none of these have made a single iota of difference to my levels so I ditched them, the Simvastatins I stopped because of the bad memory side effects).What I have found is that after a 4-5 mile fast bike ride (long walks didn't do much for my levels), not only do my levels come down fairly well, but I also get feelings of being quite well (i.e. lack of aggression), so that might be something for you to try. If you don't have a bike, they can be found fairly cheaply on Gumtree.com for your area.</blockquote>
