[QUOTE="Boo1979, post: 1919447, member: 446715"] I agree but with the caveat that the equipment needs to be very accurate I’m on Gliclazide but rarely have any hypos nowadays. I combine the Gliclazide with low carbing and have done for years My last diabetes review saw a non diabetic hba1c returned - I was chuffed, but my consultant was concerned - he argued that to have achieved it, I must be experiencing hypos and so he cut the meds in half. Im happy to go with that (although my sugars are running somewhat higher ) but I was concerned that the main thing he used to back up his aguement was that my (self funded ) Libra sensors were showing multiple nocturnal hypos, even tho (when administered), comparative blood BG readings showed the Libre to be consistently reading at least 2mmol below the BG reading, even allowing for the time lag etc [/QUOTE]
