I take Glyburide /Metformin and Avandia.
I commented to my doctor that I had cut down on calories and should have lost about 6-8 lbs,but had only lost 3 pounds. He told me Avandia stores ??? in your fat tissues and people who take it can gain weight.

When I first started on Avandia, my weight went up and my glucose levels were still too high. What changed it was when I went to exercising (mostly long walks) for an hour every other day. The first 15 minutes are not useful but the body soon switches to the long-term reserves which burn off excess sugar. Originally, the doctors suggested a half-hour of exercise every day but I found an hour every other day is easier to fit into my schedule and the benefit is even greater.
Since that adjustment almost two years ago, my blood sugar tests all come back well and my weight stays neutral. I eat pretty much whatever I want although I’d already cut out some things like sodas and burgers many years ago.
