[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 381079, member: 21149"] Hi. The most likely cause of the stomach upset is the Metformin; Gliclazide doesn't normally cause many problems. Yes, ask for the SR version of Met. You don't have to have zero carbs, but do reduce portion sizes and have low-GI ones when you do as others have said. Set yourself a daily carbs target of, say, 150 gm max and see how you go. As you are overweight, you are probably insulin resistant and the Met should help more than the Glic so do persevere with it if you can. As you lose weight the blood sugar should reduce a lot. Good luck and see what the HBa1C blood test shows. [/QUOTE]
