Type of diabetes
Type 2
Treatment type
Tablets (oral)
T2 - meds
Metformin ST 2x1000mg
Empagfiflozin 25mg
Gliclazide 2x30mg

FBG rarely below 10

Drastically changed diet, removed all treats, cakes, biscuits kept Sugar intake to 30g/day

Been a month now, FBG. 5-6 YES!
Lost half stone.
Hlc down from 65 to 44

Drs Called me last week to say stop taking Gliclazide, FBG now 8-9

I suggested to Drs to go back on Gliclazide but informed I’m at risk of hypo.

Love your thoughts.

How are you measuring your sugar consumption 30g is a lot, did you mean 30g of carbs?
A non diabetic person will have around 4g of sugar in their blood, that's just under a teaspoon full
