Since being put on gliclazides 2 months ago I have put on 4 pounds. I have cut down on my carbs and my portions, and am doing more exercise even though it whacks me out afterwards. Should I mention this to my diabetes nurse? My blood sugar levels still fluctuate and my morning one has never been less than 5.8 and that's only twice, it's usually 7 or more. I don't have to go back to see the dn for another 2 months, when she may put me on yet another tablet which may make me lose weight.

Can you give me any advice? I really don't want to keep on gaining weight!
