[QUOTE="Route 66, post: 2132947, member: 507504"] Sorry to hear that you are having a bad time at the moment. Do you know what your Hba1c was on diagnosis? Your levels have come down quite quickly due to the medications. As you are on glyclazide,you will need to be careful that your BG does not drop below 4 as you could suffer from a Hypo. If you drive, make sure you take a reading before and also during long drives. You may also find that your vision becomes a bit blurry as your body adjusts to lower sugar levels. This should return to normal. Because your levels have dropped a lot, you may be suffering from False Hypos. When you feel bad, do a finger prick and check your reading. That will tell you a lot. You are doing the right thing by reducing your carbs. There is light at the end of the tunnel, but it takes a bit of time before we get there. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
