[QUOTE="Rose22, post: 2268900, member: 509613"] I used to take Gliclazide, I had it with my breakfast and it would work during the day. There is a risk of hypo, so hopefully they also prescribed your husband with test strips and a metre! As he will need to do this, especially before driving. I was swapped to Repaglinide which is a short acting med you take with each meal and it makes the pancreas push out insulin for the food...until it can’t any more! I loved Repaglinide for me it was the best out of all the meds they put me on. Gliclazide is a newer med class and it is long acting, I can’t remember fully but it is about 6 hours I think..my memory’s not so good! Worth having a chat with the gp or nurse who prescribed it and when they will review it. Always good with new meds it check after 3 months whether it’s working/suiting you. [/QUOTE]
