I think your figures are beyond dumping glucose, you really need to discuss this with your GP or diabetes team. Gliclizide can only push insulin, if it is there to be pushed.

Also, welcome
 
Welcome to the forum from me too.

I agree with what Owen said.

I think the idea of having a late night snack to try and offset the Dawn Phenomenon is something to try if during the day you have reasonable control of your blood sugars. The fact that you start off high and then go higher suggests a distinct lack of control (not necessarily your fault, but your pancreas may have decided to put its feet up).

Andy 🙂
