gliclazide

Hi, I'm Jo and I've been diabetic since 1999, initially diagnosed as Type 1, but recently reclassified as MODY. Changing from insulin to Gliclazide has been a major readjustment and change in mindset, so it would be great to speak to anyone who has been through similar. Thanks, Jo

Hello everyone, I am 32 and was diagnosed with MODY3 when I was 18. I take Gliclazide and Metformin and would love to chat to other people about their experiences with MODY. Thanks, Jack

I was diagnosed at the end of August with diabetes type 2 which was a surprise but also due to carrying the extra weight for so long was also not a surprise! I went to the doctor's to finally speak to them about possibly suffering from sleep apnoea as I was finding myself more and more tired...

Hi everybody, I'm Rob and I'm 55 years old. I have been diagnosed as Type 2 for around 12 years but have been taking insulin for the last couple of months due to a dramatic rise in my HbA1c from 55 to 111. I was taken off 2 x 1000mg of Sukkarto ( Slow release metformin ) when the reading was...

Hi all, I just wondered what you experts have discovered about gliclazide ! My findings with 80mg Gliclazide is that taking 2 tablets is no more effective than taking 1. I've found that taking 1 80mg tablet lowers my blood sugar by 1 mmol/l in 1 hour and 2 mmol/l in 2 hours - but no more...

Thought some members may find this useful. It lists all diabetes medication eg. tablets, non-insulin injectable and insulin and provides details of side affects, duration times of insulin, manufacturers, brand names... It also lists different kit and devices with thorough details about...

Hi guys, apologies if this query has already been dealt with: My mum 80 4"11 good weight, has just started on Gliclazide 40mg (also on Gulcophade 500x4 tabs daily) Thing is she's had a couple of hypos mid morning lunchtime (even though I am structuring her meals/carb intake properly throughout...

Hi all, I'm T1 for 10 years, so this question is not related to me, but a colleague. I'm an admin on the Freestyle Libre Users group on FB, in case anyone knows me :-) A colleague has come up to me and told me that he's been informed that he's got D (16mmol/l spot test). He was prescribed...

Evening all, my wife, who is also Type 2 and taking Gliclazide was told she did not need to test, this was about a year ago. Then one of her friends, also type 2, said her GP had told her that all type 2 people on Gliclazide should test regularly to avoid hypos. So today, my wife goes for her...

Please help, I've been a type 2 for 10 years now and managed it well on Metformin 1000mg twice a day and as well as I could manage by diet too, until Christmas this year, when my levels weren't coming down. Doctors put me on Sitagliptin 100mg in addition to Metformin, I didn't have any issues...

Hi everyone, I already posted a bit about this on the newbies forum, but I thought I'd make a specific thread as I have more questions. I have just been diagnosed with diabetes (type 1 LADA) and have been getting consistently high blood glucose levels - my personal record is now 27.5 as of...
