I have been taking glicazide for 6 years about six months ago my sugars starting going up i could not understand it as I am very strict with my diet etc.
My Doctor increased my dosage that is really when my problems started it didn't control my sugars quite the opposite they went even higher i felt ill very dizzy my husband said i was erractic i had no memory and was losing weight .
It all came to a head when I passed out my husband took me to the hospital they did lots of tests but could not find a cause .My sugars were high i was refered to the diabetic clinic the nurse said diabeties was not causing my headaches and dizziness shen upped the tablets I was now on 4 80gr tablets .
My headaches were now violent pains i could only get round by clinging onto furniture the dizzines had increased .My Husband and my friends said I looked ill and were very concerned I was given insulin but before i started with it i felt strongly it wasn't the answer.
One of my friends had just started taking glicazide and it was working for her i felt impressed to find out which chemist she got them from .
My prescription was due and i got the tablets from the chemist my friend uses
i only took one my sugar level dropped from 16.1 to 5.6 i could hardly believe it within a week all my symptoms had gone and sugars were now normal levels
It was the previous brand of tablets not me .
