[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 885801, member: 88961"] Please do post a thread asking about the DVLA rules for driving for those taking Gliclazide. I may have lost the plot! Your insurers are usually only interested in those taking insulin. I did wonder if the doc had avoided Metformin as you had lost weight. Metformin can act as an appetite suppressant, and thereby aid weight loss. Gliclazide, on the other had, has sometimes been noted as contributing to weight gain. If you drive, and the DVLA require you to test before doing so, because of your drug regime, then you really should be prescribed your meter and strips, so please do ask for them. Do not wait until August. I hate to break it to you, but your spuds, and crisps might have to be cut down or out. They're often culprits for us. Similarly, fruit can be difficult, with berries being most diabetes friendly. That's why you will read of so many people devouring raspberries and blueberries. And, of course, strawberries are plentiful at this time of the year. Result! Diet and testing are your friends, and if you can move around a bit more, that's a bonus. Good luck with it all. [/QUOTE]
