Message: <blockquote data-quote="Oldvatr" data-source="post: 2517954" data-attributes="member: 196898">From what I can glean from a brief search, diabetes itself increases the risk of platelets sticking together, thus presenting a increased risk of stroke or heart attack.  in vitro (i.e. testube) studies show that gliclazide does act as an anticoagulant and this helps to protect us by reducing the chance of clots.  But it can give rise to bleeding.  Glic is not the only dibetic medication to be blamed for this.  The FDA has quite a list of them including Metformin, The Glutides, the Gliflozins, I am a stroke survivor, and I am on aspirin and another blood thinner anti platelet med on top of my Gliclazide.  You may have difficulty finding a diabetic med that does not give this effect since it seems common to most of them.<a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphar.2021.670155/full" target="_blank">https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphar.2021.670155/full</a>The altermative may be simple dietary changes instead of medication.  Several of us here are having success with that aproach.</blockquote>
