[QUOTE="cugila, post: 186029, member: 15325"] I take it from that you will be taking it 20-30 mins before your meals then........ :wink: I always follow this advice from just one PIL (patient Information Leaflet) Now other brands tell you that you should take it during a meal ? Before a meal ? The BNF tells you just before a meal........ If it works.....who cares...... As a matter of interest I used to use Gliclazide when I was on it on an Ad-Hoc basis so if my levels were highish it would bring them down. In my area it still is advised just before a meal....shows how there is always conflicting information around if you want to search the Net....... Lots of good info there but you pays your money and makes your choice. So confusing, especially for newly diagnosed........however as the links all refer to information which is different to the March 2011 BNF 61 I still prefer to follow GP's instructions.....if he says 20-30 min before that's fine, if he says just before meals that too is fine. Everybody is different in their responses to various drugs. What may work for one may not work for others. I don't think anybody has to justify what they do. We wouldn't want to confuse Chrissy any further now would we....... [/QUOTE]
