Message: <blockquote data-quote="luceeloo" data-source="post: 1234787" data-attributes="member: 78468">I've just taken myself off Gliclazide,  I was put on it earlier this year, in conjunction with Metformin which I have been on for 3 years, and Lyxumia injections (18 months on those). I was doing alright with weight loss, and then over the last three months have gained 7kg.   5 of those 7kg arrived during a low carb shake diet. I haven't told my GP or Nurse yet -  I have an appointment in 3 weeks time, and I wanted to prove that it was the Glic that was causing the weight gain.    I have found that my appetite has dramatically reduced, I'm not craving food all of the time, and I'm actually feeling a lot better in myself. Blood sugar isn't great, but I know it will get better.   I just don't think that being morbidly obese to begin with and being put on a drug that causes weight gain is the best idea for my situation.     Losing weight is the key to stopping insulin resistance and improving levels, not slamming my body with a load of insulin that it can't use!</blockquote>
