[QUOTE="Triffo, post: 2160561, member: 180655"] Personally I have reduced or come off as many drugs as I could throughout my adult life. But there are some that I cannot of course and these (anti-rejection etc) I take as prescribed. I did manage to get my diabetes medication (gliclizide) down to one 40mg tablet per day last year with an HBA1C in the low 40’s but unfortunately I ‘blew’ it while on holiday and appear to have done some permanent damage making my diabetes control a lit more difficult. I’ve been advised to take 360mg of Gliclizide daily but I’ve managed to negotiate it down to 240mg and am working towards 160mg which I’m achieving at the moment. However I’ve never been able to get my HBA1C down to the 30’s. At the moment I’m up in the 50’s slowly coming down in to the upper 40’s. Got my next blood test on Monday 4th Nov 19 so wish me luck. I will make one statement just for clarity, the doctors/nurses are aware of what I’m doing. I trust them and take their advice but if I disagree I tell them what I’m planning and why. [/QUOTE]
