Well she was happy with HbA1c reduction to 77 mmol/mol but has increased Gliclazide dosage to help bring it down further. Will be titrate to 80mg twice daily over the next two weeks. Back to finger prick testing twice daily and before driving, although I am still waiting for new glasses from the opticians. At least I am currently tolerating the medication with very little side effects so far. Discussed mild neuropathy in feet and eyesight issues which we hope will settle down. Retest bloods in 8 weeks time with another follow up. Not making any major changes to diet until my body adjusts to new dosage. Told nurse my long term aim is to manage diabetes with diet, exercise and reduce the medication. We will see she said. Ho hum..
