[QUOTE="campervan, post: 18281, member: 10627"] I have diabetes type 2 and am on metfomin and gliclazide, I was told by my doctor to give up smoking as this would help my diabetes. I was diagnosed at 48 I am now 52, managed with diet alone for a while but I am a sod for chocolate and savouries and I just can't help it so that went out the window. I gave up smoking on Feb 2nd so it's been six months now since I stopped. I am so bad tempered and I still want a fag so badly but haven't faltered. I have gained almost 2 stone and now my gp is going on at me for being so overweight as I am up to 15 stone now and only 5ft 2 and hate myself for being like a barrel and my count goes from being 5-7 for months and then shoots up again in the teens, I think it's due to my eating chocolate and stuff on occasion and when I do I stuff my face with it and then get so upset for doing it. I have two youngs sons ages 13 and 11 and when my count is high I am so nasty to them, I am like the devil, I am a single mum you see and its not easy, I also have two grown up kids with kids of their own and they have their own worries but they come to me with any worries as you would do to your mum. I suppose I am just a moaning hag but I really feel alone, all of my family apart from my kids are in London and Essex and I am in Wales and apart from that I am very scared at the thought of having diabetes and I am so afraid of gaining even more weight and making it so bad that I have to go on isulin. Is there anyone out there who can offer any advice to me please as I feel I will end up weighing 20 stone soon and I am told that gliclazide makes you put on weight too, is that right? :cry: [/QUOTE]
