Hi, I wondered if anyone might be able to help. With a fasting reading of 17.9, an inability to stomach Metformin and a visit to a special Diabetes GP, he seems to think I have Lada Diabetes. I have been on 80mg of Gliclazide twice a day since Monday and have had readings of between 12.5-14.5 mostly, with spikes as high as 19.8.....anyway I was told that come Friday this week with no real change I could be looking at Insulin and to be honest that has really scared me. Anyway just this afternoon like magic my blood sugar has come right down. Between 7.2-9.6 before meals and only 10.2 a couple of hours afterwards.
Is this down to the medication? And if so could it come down further and would it be likely that this could be managed on medication/tablets alone?
Also and sorry to keep asking, but I did read my medication leaflet thoroughly and it stated that sugar levels can go low on these tablets and to look out for that, well could it come down in my sleep and could that be dangerous?
