[QUOTE="Philkay, post: 1817711, member: 479293"] I was given Gliclazide instead of Meformin and I gained almost 20 lbs. was told to lose weight and tried but having researched Gliclazide. I understand it will not let you lose weight even with vast exercise and diet control. I became very upset that lots of exercise and strict diet saw no lost lbs - I stopped taking the Gliclazide and Forxiga and in 8 weeks I've lost 20 lbs. I measure my blood sugar and it is normally between 7.5 and 8.5 - Diabetic nurse advised staying off Gliclazide. I am on a slimming world diet and I have to say it works - along with brisk walking 5 nights a week for the first time in 2 years I have been able to lose weight that I was told to lose but couldn't due to the Gliclazide. Not advocating controlling type 2 with diet but I am so much better being off Gliclazide. Skin looks better - not so tired - not up lots in the night. Drinking lots of green tea to. I'm not happy taking Forxiga, I'm confident my Doctor is rewarded financially for prescribing this drug!! [/QUOTE]
