Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="cugila" data-source="post: 185943" data-attributes="member: 15325">Sometimes low blood glucose levels (hypo) can happen when taking Gliclazide. This can sometimes be when you do a bit more exercise than normal, take meals at irregular times, eat less than usual, or miss meals altogether........or maybe meals which are too low in carbs so you end up having a surfeit of Insulin (because Gliclazide forces your Pancreas to produce Insulin regardless of food intake) which will lower your Bg levels and no Glucose from foods etc in your system to be dealt with..... :?:  Hence the reason why it is advised to be taken just before a meal. I have seen the advice regarding when to take the drug in the previous link but as it is old 20+ years(1990), also based on a trial of only 8 Patients, and also doesn't seem to have any further more up to date references where it may have been followed up with a more scientific trial, I would tend to discount that one........however, if it works for some then so be it.  :|</blockquote>
