[QUOTE="Peckj02, post: 1634117, member: 343803"] Hi everyone, I’m seriously in need of some advice. I was diagnosed with type 2 in September 16 after being pre-diabetic for 7yrs after gestational diabetes. I was originally prescribed metformin and then slow release metformin, unfortunately they made me so ill [emoji20] I couldn’t tolerate them at all. They worked though and brought my hba1c down to 42. In April this year I was put on to glicazide, 40mg to start with and gradually increased to 240mg which is my current dose. My problem is that rather than bringing my levels down they have increased with every dose increase. My latest hba1c was 62 (previous was 57) and this evening 2hrs after my evening meal and a 160mg dose my bg was 13.6. My fasting Bg is very rarely below 10. Obviously this medication is not working for me at all. Am I within my rights to ask for my medication to be changed rather than being fobbed off again with another dose increase? (which will be max dose) I have also put on about a stone in weight since being on glicazide which obviously isn’t helping. Sorry for the long post but thoroughly fed up with the whole thing at the moment. Any advice will be gratefully received [/QUOTE]
