Hi,
I have been on Gliclazide for about three weeks and I go to slimming world.
In the last two weeks, I have put on 2lb and this week 2 1/2lb.
I have been using the recipes from here. I am not sure what is going on ?
thanks

Diet only
Gliclazide increases the production of insulin.
If your diet was affected by a lack of insulin you might need to reassess what you are eating in the way of carbs in order to lose weight. You need to be aware that you can go too low - but you should have been provided with the means to check your blood glucose levels as part of the treatment.

Dislikes
Diet drinks - the artificial sweeteners taste vile.
Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.
