[QUOTE="ickihun, post: 1325556, member: 196960"] I was immediately given metformin in 2002 and dietary advice. I didn't lose weight until I incorporated heavy 2hr gym classes 5 days a week. No more than a stone though. I ate like a mouse and walked throughout my 12hr shift work additionally. I was very fit but no distinctive weight loss. I'm unsure what my hba1c was back then. After using insulin with my first son metformin didn't keep my hba1c in good level so gliclazide was added, then increased. After 2nd pregnancy on insulin gliclazide no longer worked in bringing down my hba1c . Hence now on insulin and metformin again with a non-strict low carb lifestyle. My hormones have played a huge part in increased bgs but never once mentioned on diagnosis. [/QUOTE]
