[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2593875, member: 196898"] I have personal experience of losing 8 stone while taking max dose of this drug (Gliclazide) I am still on it, and my weight has been static for 8 years now with a BMI varying between 21 and 22. I did it without exercise or calorie restrictions. didn't even count carbs. I still don't. If you have high insulin resistence, then Glic will increase insulin, and this forces the body to store fat rather than burn it off ergo weight gain. Most T2D have Insulin resistance, so for many this drug does not seem to work. I used a low carb diet to reduce my insulin resistance, and when I started the Glic was not working, and now it works fine on minimum dose and my sugars are in control. It took a couple of months of LCHF to clear the IR, so it is not something you can acheive instantly. So if the bath is full, glic will cause problems with overflow. All it does is increase insulin levels, and IR prevents that being properly used. [/QUOTE]
