[QUOTE="graj0, post: 960464"] How low? I managed to come off Gliclazide because I lowered my carbs to less than 100gms and was continually having hypos (less than 4). I know that my pancreas is producing normal amounts of insulin without the gliclazide because I paid for my own c-peptide test, my GP didn't seem to think it was necessary. I'm still taking metformin and my own testing and HbA1c seemed to be in the normal range. I'm not sure when I should consider trying to stop metformin, but prepared to take for the time being. Given the average daily carb intake is about 300 gms, and it's a question of semantics, "just less than 200" is definitely lower, but maybe not lowish. Good news if you can ditch the Gliclazide, and better still ditch the metformin, but be prepared to stay with the metformin. [/QUOTE]
