[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 2520808, member: 21149"] Hi. I was on Gliclazide full dose for several years with no side effects. With your excess weight, Metformin would usually be the drug to start with. Gliclazide stimulates the pancreas to produce more insulin and I have to say many T2s with excess weight and high BS will have insulin resistance and already have too much insulin in the blood. The Glic may therefore be largely ineffective? The Low carb diet is likely to be the best next step. There are further drugs that can be considered such as weekly injectables and other tablets. Losing some weight will almost certainly get your BS down. [/QUOTE]
