Hi!
I'm on gliclazide modified release once a day for a while now and have mostly found it totally fine except for a period of debilitating hypos. I never went totally unconscious, always able to self treat, however they were long-lasting and relentless (lasted about 5 days with me having to eat every 3 hours). I eventually landed up in hospital, as I was so sick of them. At my last appointment I asked what I should do if this happened again but didn't really get a reply. At what stage would you go to hospital? Or would you not bother unless you became unconscious? I just got to the stage where I thought there might be something else they could give me, but as there wasn't I wonder if it was the right move. Help would be much appreciated in case I ever experience this again...
Thank you!
