[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 262081, member: 21149"] Hi. It's possible that the morning liver glycogen dump may have increased your blood sugar? I would tend to measure 2 hours after a main meal and see what happens. Note the gliclazide will only have a real effect if your natural insulin production isn't too bad. If you have lost a lot of your islet cells, then the glic won't have much effect as it stimulates working cells to produce more. It doesn't help me that much probably for that reason. What age are you? If glic doesn't have much effect then discuss other options with your GP such as increasing the dose or adding Sitagliptin. If you are young and not overweight there is always a possibility of late onset Type 1 (LADA) rather than Type 2. I also note you aren't on metformin which most T2s would be prescribed. Is that because you present as underweight? [/QUOTE]
