Hi Folks, I was diagnosed in 1997, in 2003 I was put in 500mg metformin. I dieted for two years losing 42lb. My weight was steady but my metformin was increased to 1g in 2006 then 1.5g in 2008. I felt lousy all the time with severe headaches, bowel problems etc. So I was put back to 500mg of metformin + 30mg of gliclazide.
Now things are a changing so I will do a post on an appropriate forum.
Solved ill feeling problems but I started to gain weight so I joined a gym in 2009. I do 30-60mins per session 4 times a week, joined weight watchers etc but the weight still went up.
Stopped glyclazide replaced it with 1000 mg. Ill feeling returned so I will return to gliclazide until Dr replaces it, hopefully next week.
