Gliclazide will spur on your pancreas to generate more insulin, so to some extent you do need to think about it in those terms.When I was being treated as a type 1 - initially - I was put on Gliclazide for a while (thought was that my pancreas may be on it's way out, so whip it while it was capable..) - so I can only say with any confidence that for me, the one "proper" hypo that I experienced using insulin (took the injection, didn't take the food, like an idiot) was on a whole other level than anything while taking Gliclazide, but that was me, and I cannot read across my experiences to anything that would be helpful for you.Maybe what you could do though, is discuss the pros and cons of using your Libre in this way with your support team, along with the advice above about reducing dosage - it’s better to not have the hypos than to feed them; I totally agree with that...</blockquote>
