[QUOTE="pleinster, post: 1005767, member: 221545"] Yeah, I started back on 80mg Gliclazide at 8am a few days ago as i wanted to see if it would help lower the spike I get from the steroid I take at that time now that I am in much better control of my carb intake...see if it is any more effective on this diet. My waking BS is now generally between 5.8 and 6.2 mmols (though this morning was a nice 5.5 for the first time) and my records indicate that the steroid increases my BD from ingestion, rising to a peak around 12.30 to 1.15 pm (where it is currently close to 8.0 mmols). So, once I've posted this, I'm off to have a cup of BM in the hope that it makes a wee dent in that. The Gliclazide alone isn't making too much difference, but if I found that a wee cuppa would keep the spike down to a peak of under 7.0, I'd be delighted. failing that - the capsules should be here soon enough to try. I don't sleep till maybe 4am and I wake at 8am and 10am for all my post transplant meds. So - tea time....n then back to sleep for a couple of hours. An odd sleep pattern - I know! I shall test around 1pm. Fingers crossed. [/QUOTE]
