[QUOTE="Tophat1900, post: 2253839, member: 362123"] You don't have to take the Gliclazide, you can't be forced to take it. Just remember that, it's your decision to take it or not, and your progress is to be commended. Why on earth you would want to change good progress with the addition of a drug that carries serious risks on low carb diet is beyond me. The real enemy here is insulin resistance (IR) - gliclzide makes IR worse by forcing the pancreas tp produce even more insulin which the body has become resistant to in order to protect your organs from too much insulin. You have done a great job in 3 months, that is how you reduce IR. So why change what you are doing when it is clearly working? Again, it's up to you to decide whether to take it or not. In regards to testing, if your fingers are dry, wash them under some warm water then dry them on something clean and then try, make sure you set the depth at a comfortable level on finger pricker... it is adjustable.
