[QUOTE="JohnJ, post: 189193, member: 33788"] Hi All, I too was diagnosed on 18th with level of 22.1! As it was just before the bank holiday/s they gave me a testing kit and put me on Gliclazide 80mg. Told to eat hi-carb bread, potatoes and rice? Contrary to all the superb advice on this forum. The hospital called on the Wednesday, to check if OK for the weekend. I said after taking the first tablet my level dropped to 13.8 early next morning. They told me to double the dose. Since then it fluctuates from 12.7 to 17.1 on average. Trying to change lifestyle and diet rapidly but as you all say very conflicting advice on good/bad foods. Following advice on this forum, but everyone is different in the way they react. Very distressing all this! Presume it is going to take time. JohnJ [/QUOTE]
