Gliclazide normally has no noticeable side effects but there will always be exceptions so tell the GP. Your nurse has made the common mistake of saying Gliclazide can cause weight gain. It doesn't but it enables the body to produce more insulin which allows the body to metabolise more carbs and it's these carbs that can cause the weight gain. The same mistake is made with insulin. So, control the carbs as these can cause weight gain as well as higher blood sugar levels.</p></blockquote><p></p>
