My GP and the Endo I see both reckon that the weight gain from gliclazide should be negligible and I certainly found this to be the case. I take 2 X 80 mg a day and have done for nearly 2 1/2 years now. It is more important right now to get your levels down and it certainly dropped mine pronto. My A1C went from 12.6 to 7 in 3 months along with low carbing.
