[QUOTE="Nicksu, post: 1627864, member: 325281"] I can honestly say that the Gliclizade has not made me put on weight. The problem is (as I understand it - and please correct me if I am wrong!) that it reacts with the amount of carbs you have and therefore stimulates the pancreas to produce insulin. Therefore the more carbs you have, the more insulin is produced. I had my first hypo when I had had too many carbs by doing this! I've been on it for the last year with no problems (unlike the dreaded metformin which I couldn't tolerate!). I'm hoping when I get my HBAC1 levels checked next that they are improved and the doctors will consider taking me off or reducing my dosage. I only take one 40mg tablet twice daily. (PS I've lost 4½ stone in weight over the course of 14 months). [/QUOTE]
