Hi, not through Glicizide, and it may be side effects. Or even a hypo!I’ve been put on short acting Glicazide after 20+ years on Slow release. Has anyone experienced strange side effects? I’ve found I’m having extremely vivid dreams and I’ve actually fallen out of bed twice !!!! GP thinks I’m having hypo during the night. Anyone experienced similar? Thanks
Thanks- yes my bs were fluctuating wildly as the short acting tabs I had to take twice a day whereas MR just once in the morning which would level me out all day!Hi, not through Glicizide, and it may be side effects. Or even a hypo!
I had my Technicolor vivid dreams I was told the dreams was because of fluctuating blood glucose levels. Up and down for the majority of the day. And hes, on the floor, other side of the room, sweating, shaking and not restful at all, and feeling ill all day.
Too much carbs and sugar in your meals will still cause spikes, and not help with your diabes, wether you have ozempic or not.
I have insulin too so I test regularly- the long acting Glicazide didn’t suddenly drop my bs and insulin long acting- but Diabetes nurse decided to change my meds as my hb1ac was 6.9 but wants it to 6 . I’ve had type 2 since 1995Were you provided with a glucose tester? You should have been if you are on a medication which lowers blood glucose levels.
I have always had vivid dreams, so can't really help with that, but you can at least test and see if there is a correlation between low BG and your experiences.
I have been on Glicazide MR since I was first diagnosed so I don’t understand why you think it’s new on the market? But as I take a combination of insulin, metformin and forxiga so I think you are right about interactions, it was the change of Glicazide when I noticed the difference in spikes and vivid dreams and falling out of bed! If it is my diabetes I’ll feel better about it as it’s really scared me! Appreciate your help , Thankyou
You should raise a yellow card to report a new side effect.Never thought it could be Forxiga, again I’ve been taking it since 2014 with no side effects. It was GP who said Glicazide was probable culprit and put me back on mr version. No vivid dreams since change and no thudding onto the floorappreciate the information- sometimes I can’t see the wood for the trees!!!!
