[QUOTE="Paul1882, post: 2394856, member: 535335"] I was newly diagnosed T2 with an HbA1c of 122 in December 2020. I had my first retest last week (19 April ) and it’s fallen to 43. I expected it to be down because my fasting finger prick test had fallen from the high teens at the start to consistently in the 5-6 range for some time. I have been on 2000mg metformin and 40 mg gliclazide. I have dramatically changed my diet .. I had a very sweet tooth and have cut out all chocolate , juices , cakes etc and also significantly reduced my carbs. So , my GP took me off the Gliclazide three days ago (so far so good , 4.7 fasting glucose this morning ) but doesn’t want to change the metformin until my next HbA1c in 3 months time. [/QUOTE]
