[QUOTE="cugila, post: 112279, member: 15325"] [b]Re:Gliclazide is it that bad ?[/b] Hi Chrissie. I hope this isn't too scary...... :wink: I have been on Gliclazide for years and the only thing that happened to me was that I put some weight on, probably due to the so called 'healthy' diet more so than the Gliclazide. I eventually came off Glic completely earlier this year.....that helped with weight loss in some small way. Now my Pancreas hasn't given up, it's still kicking in when it's needed. It hasn't burned out ! Now since that time, I have had to go back on Glic, on an as and when I need it basis. What I have found is that for me it is a lifesaver. Without the Glic forcing my Pancreas to produce Insulin I would be in big trouble with high Bg levels. So as far as I am concerned, the scare stories are just that, stories. I have seen no actual evidence that it is harming me.....on the contrary it is helping me when I need help the most. Once my problem is fixed than I will be back hopefully to no more Glic ? It certainly doesn't scare me. I did my own research and I am satisfied that for most people it can be a very useful tool.....it doesn't have to be for life. I saw that.
