[QUOTE="DaftThoughts, post: 1401976, member: 317436"] Welcome! There are a ton of reasons on why your values and meds are the way they are. :) I'm a type LADA, I was on oral meds for almost 2 years including gliclazide, but my pancreas struggled to keep up with the insulin demand and I was put on insulin and taken off gliclazide. I don't know why you were taken off it - you could be a type 1/LADA with advanced beta-cell death where the gliclazide doesn't make a difference, or you could be a type 2 whose pancreas isn't functioning well enough anymore to have the gliclazide have any effect anymore. Basically the same result, but from different causes. Or maybe the Metformin itself is enough and you don't need gliclazide to begin with? Lots of potential reasons! I hope the blood tests clear things up for you soon. In the meantime, do you have any other questions we can help you out with? [/QUOTE]
