Hi all, I hope you've all had a good weekend X
I'm just wondering if anyone else has had a problem with weight gain whilst taking gliclazide? I've been taking it for four years (maybe three, I'm not exactly sure) and in that time, with my 10mile a day cycle ride five days a week, good eating habbits etc, I've still managed to put on weight.
My diabetic nurse has decided to start weening me off them (started two weeks ago this coming Tuesday). I'm on half the dose now for the next three months with extra metformin plus a new linagliptin, with a view to being gliclazide free as soon as is possible.
Quite realistically, along with self imposed additional 10,000 steps daily (if possible), how long do you think it would take before I start noticing a change?
I have a balanced, vegetarian diet and also starting a daily food diary as of tomorrow. With a busy life, I'm a carer for someone with a spinal column injury, I'm not exactly sure what else I can fit in.
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly accepted. I'd also like to hear off anyone else who suffered the same.
Have a good week peeps
Nicola
