[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 321999, member: 21149"] Hi. Gliclazide stimulates the pancreas to produce more insulin which it will do if it has enough cells remaining. It is more relevant for those T2s who aren't over weight and hence probably insulin resistant. Normally Metformin would be the start for this but your particular physical condition may have caused your doc to take a different path. If Gliclazide doesn't deliver and Metformin isn't an option then a further choice is Sitagliptin or one of the injectables including insulin. Diet is the number one consideration so do keep the carbs low and low-GI. Be aware that if the Gliclazide does work it can cause hypos so use the meter to observe your BS. [/QUOTE]
