[QUOTE="MollieB, post: 2211696, member: 519175"] Newly diagnosed can be a tough trying to control your glucose. I agree a CGMS would almost definitely prove beneficial. Being newly diagnosed, you may have some beta cell function still (meaning your "insulin makers" are still making insulin). It can be sporadic though, which is what can make this time period so challenging. If they do start you on insulin you probably be sure to be off the gliclazide. Gliclazide belongs to the sulfonylurea drug class, it job is to tell the beta cells to produce MORE insulin, but it is not glucose dependent (Meaning it only works with the glucose is high). Combining it with insulin would put you had a greater chance of low blood sugar, and it could occur very randomly. [/QUOTE]
