Hi everyone,
As some of you may know, because of various other health issues, it has been difficult for my Diabetic Drs to put me on a Diabetice Med that will not have other implications for me. They have really been pushing me to try Metformin again but I just can't, not after the severe reaction I experienced last time.
Anyway, my Dr has now put me on a 'Slow Release Gliclazide', just a 30mg tablet once aday at first. I have'nt taken one as yet because, again, I am feeling scared....Because of past issues with medication, I have very valid fears when ever I am about to try a new medication.
I wondered if anyone here has taken this 'slow release' medication and if so what your experiences have been?
Thank you 🙂
Big P.S.
My B' sugars have been, well, reletively ok over the past few days as I have really knuckled down with my foods.
In the morning my fast has been around 9.5.
Two hours post breakfast: 10/11
four post breakfast: 8/9.
The highest I have had in a few days is 13.00 (I had a couple too many potatoes for dinner!)
