[QUOTE="azure, post: 1554926, member: 39639"] Hi [USER=432349]@Joan561[/USER] Can I ask if your son has any risk factors for Type 2? At his age, he's more likely to be Type 1. If he is Type 1, the Metformin will do little and the Gliclazide isn't recommended for Type 1s. Frankly, if it was my son, I'd be asking for a bit more than 'waiting to,see'. I was diagnosed Type 1 with a blood sugar of 25 and started on insulin within a few hours. Have you spoken to a specialist? Just to,reassure you, if he is Type 1 he'll be able to,eat pretty normally and won't have to follow any special diet. Type 2 is a different matter, but for Type 1s the key is insulin not extreme diets. Tagging [USER=267356]@mahola[/USER] for you as she has a Type 1 teen. [/QUOTE]
