[QUOTE="tulip87, post: 93451, member: 11762"] I've been diabetic for nearly 1 year now, and take 80mg gliclazide twice a day. Blood sugars normally pretty well controlled - hypos only after swimming training and HbA1c 5.8%. My diabetes seems to take a really weird form though - my high sugars are BEFORE I eat - once I've eaten I am rapidly down to non-diabetic levels, or lower even. Typical day goes: Waking: 9-14mmol 1hr after breakfast: 6-7mmol Pre-lunch: 7-9mmol 1hr after lunch: 4-6mmol Pre-dinner: 6-8mmol 1hr after dinner:4-5.5mmol Bedtime: 5-6mmol This just seems crazy to me given that I thought diabetes was inability to deal with sugar... I certainly seem to have no problem producing insulin at some times of the day, just it seems to go a bit odd overnight. I was just wondering if anyone else had numbers like this? And if they knew good ways to deal with them?! I'd love to come off the medication if I can... Also I was wondering if complications are a consequence of chronic high sugars, or if having sugars over 8mmol for just a few hours a day could cause a problem too? (and therefore if I need to work to get that high morning fasting level down). Thank you! [/QUOTE]
