[QUOTE="1MoreT2, post: 994953, member: 135208"] Well hi everyone...just another T2 here, 14 months out from diagnosis. Gotta query for the folks here. My Magic Number was 11, and my doc said I needed to get down to 7, so he prescribed 2000mg metformin daily and 60mg gliclazide. After I regained consciousness...;) and became the world's major source of unnatural gas, I, as a founding member of Ornery Blokes Unanimous, cut my dosage to 500 plus 30. A year later I'm pulling a solid 7, still at 500 + 30. So my question for you learned people...why did my doc prescribe me the Full Monty when One Quarter Monty would have done the job? Have any of you had the same experience? (OK, why don't I ask him? I don't want to challenge my doctor directly. It's just not something blokes do ;) [/QUOTE]
