[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1355044, member: 21149"] Hi. I would certainly ask the GP to increase the Metformin but it never has a great effect on blood sugar. I would also query the Gliclazide as it's purpose is to stimulate the pancreas to produce more insulin and I suspect your body may be swimming in it but unable to use it. The jury is out on whether it burns out the pancreas or not. Note that Newcastle Uni are a bit hung up on liver and pancreatic fat. The problem is visceral fat all over the body and in particular muscle cells which is why insulin can't be used effectively. You must control the carbs in your diet to get the weight down. Try to set yourself a daily limit of, say, 200gm. Note that there are one or two weekly injectables the GP could prescribe to help with weight loss when obese; Victoza is one of them. [/QUOTE]
