Message: <blockquote data-quote="paragliderpete" data-source="post: 275328" data-attributes="member: 44451">I've been concentrating on getting rid of the glic. I've managed to reduce it from 240mg to the 80mg i'm taking at the moment. My bm's seem to indicate I can reduce or eliminate it . The last few days all in the 4's now I'm getting 3's. Never had a 3 in the morning , always my worst time of day. Getting a bit close to hypo territory. The probelem has always been the same. I have to start increasing my carbs to maintain bm's, which again makes me think I can reduce the glic. However when I drop my carbs to normal !!! 60g a day, and reduce the glic to a 40mg dose, my bm's start to rise after approx 4 weeks, to where I'm getting morning at late evening reading of around 7.5 to 8.That's why I think a suppliment my just help me over the final hurdle of stopping the glic altogether.I must admit that I've had had similar problems every time I reduced my glic dose in the passed, and It's always taken between 6 to 9 months to make the reductions stable i.e bm's stable between 4 and 6.8 which is the upper limit I set myself.It does make me think that my condition is slowly improving, but I'd take a lot of convincing that's the case.Not sure about my pilots medical with the other drugs. the only one the don't insist on adjudication by an aviation doctor is metformin. You think we have problems with our gp's . you want to try these doctors. must remember to be polite online.</blockquote>
