Wow well done you on your massive improvements all round, that's a fantastic result.

You really need to talk to your GP regarding the meds as eating more defeats the object if you see what I mean.

Welcome to the forum @wass71

Congratulations on the weight loss! That, along with your good levels of activity will most likely be increasing your sensitivity to your own insulin.

I agree with @Pumper_Sue that you should discuss your results with your GP and ask if an adjustment to your medications is appropriate. Results in the low 4s are pretty close to hypo territory.

Hopefully you can get a phone appointment without too much bother.

When were you last seen for a medication review?

Hi,
My last review was January, just had a blood test last week, but have not had a follow up yet, but as far as doctors are concerned they don't know about the weight loss yet,
Thanks for your comments, I will give them a ring this week

I came off Gliclazide a few years a ago as was getting to many Hypos on it.

Hi. Keep doing what you're doing. I suspect you may need to reduce the Gliclazide. It's purpose is to increase insulin output and as your insulin resistance is probably lowering you are probably using more of the insulin you produce now.

Hope it works well for you @wass71, and the low BGs don’t trouble you any more

Just say well done, especially with cutting alcohol that can be a battle in itself. * Gold *
