[QUOTE="midiman, post: 2257288, member: 513344"] Hi, Sorry for the late reply but I have been on a whirlwind learning curve and trying to work out how to use my bm machine and all this medication and diet tracking. 1. I ran out of lancets and strips for my meter so I had to speak to my surgery. 2. I managed to get my strips and lancets put on prescription. 3. I managed to work out how to use the machine and get some blood out of my arms as I was having problems with my fingers. 4. I started taking the Gliclazide in the mornings as advised. 5. I started a diary and I have been recording my results for the morning and the evenings. 6. I have lost a couple of lbs in body weight too. My readings are below. NR = Not recorded NC = No consumables [ATTACH=full]41002[/ATTACH] I think that I appear to be managing to keep under 10 now using LCHF Diet, 4 x Metaformin and 1 x Gliclazide a day. So things look a bit better. Just before I was diagnosed in Jan 2020, I was in A&E and I asked them to take a reading and that came out as 17.4mmol/L Going forward - I am going to stop taking the Gliclazide today tablet today and see if I can maintain single figures without out it. This was the advice from my nurse. Thanks [/QUOTE]
