[QUOTE="miahara, post: 1734936, member: 256148"] Sincere thanks to [B]EVERYONE[/B] who has responded to my query. Apart from anything else it's nice to know I'm not alone in needing to gain a bit of weight! I was diagnosed as a result of mentioning to my GP that I'd lost about 10kg over about 2 years when I saw her about another problem. I'm not a weight watcher and it was only a comment from someone who only sees me only once a year that prompted me to check my weight. (first time on scales for 2 years!) I am naturally very slim and have a high metabolism and weight normally never went up or down. I'm pretty physically active, do a lot of heavy gardening and cycle a fair bit, but don't work-out - maybe I should, but it's hard to find time to fit in, and I find it pretty boring. When I was first put on meds my weight did increase by about 5kg to almost 60kg but since stopping meds I've dropped a bit. I'm due my next HbA1c test next month but I'm half suspecting [USER=22428]@lovinglife[/USER] that it will have risen as my own tests have shown quite a marked rise since stopping medication, though the rise seems to stabilised now. But I'm almost prepared to lay money on my GP suggesting medication again, though maybe not gliclazide. Thanks for the comment regarding a c-peptide test [USER=21149]@Daibell[/USER] , I'll ask the Doc if one was done whan I was diagnosed and if she thinks one is appropriate. I am slightly tempted to increase my carb intake as it is pretty low at present, but I know from my own testing that carbs push up my BG. But prior to diagnosis I ate a 'normal' level of carbs and had still lost weight. My apologies for not acknowledging all the individuals who have taken the time and effort to make sugestions, but your comments are [B]all[/B] very much appreciated. Dave. [/QUOTE]
