[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 381308, member: 21149"] Hi. I think the main reason Gliclazide, like insulin, has a reputation for causing weight gain is that when it works well users are tempted to increase their food intake. I've been in Glic for 8 years with no weight gain and even my insulin has had hardly any effect on weight in 2 months. This is probably because as a Type 2 I just had to keep the carbs down and it's become a (good) habit. The Glic didn't work for me as my pancreas was obviously already knackered. Reading 100s of posts on this forum over several years now, complaints of stomach problems with Glic are rare whereas they are very common with Met non-SR. [/QUOTE]
