Hi kezzie,
Welcome. :)

See you are T2 dual therapy ?

If you don't know much about Glic and it's properties, side effects etc you can check it out here:
http://www.medicinenet.com/gliclazide-o ... rticle.htm

I went through Dual Therapy and ended up with Triple Therapy in the finish !

Main reason for that is that I followed a 'Healthy Diet' as advised by the NHS, DUK and Dieticians etc. What a disaster that was. :shock:

I would suggest you start by evaluating your diet and asking questions here. We can then advise better.

Cheers, Ken.

Find out what you ate and don't eat it again! <G>

Be careful reducing carbs while on the glic, it can send you hypo. Why you've gone high instead could be an incoming infection if your diet hasn't changed.
