[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 414947, member: 21149"] Hi. For info Gliclazide works by prodding the pancreas to produce more insulin for a few hours after taking the pills. Metformin is better at slightly reducing the background glucose released by the liver and reducing insulin resistance. Met is better for the overweight (but almost all of us have it prescribed anyway) and Glic is better if you are not overweight and have a failing pancreas. Sitagliptin also has it's uses by blocking an enzyme that switches off the pancreas producing insulin after a meal. Met would probably be useful for you but as you can't take it then adequate low-carbing is needed instead. In the longer-term there are injectables for those with weight gain but hopefully those won't be needed. [/QUOTE]
