Gliclocide

[Stanmoore]

I have been taken off Metformin and now prescribed Gliclocide. About two years ago. My weight has been increasing quite steadily can this be attributed to Gliclocide?

Hi. Gliclazide like insulin can cause weight gain if you don't control your carb intake. Both provide the body with more insulin and the result can be weight gain
