Weight gain from glipizide may be around 5 pounds (not inches on the belly). Weight gain can happen from overtreating lows with extra carbohydrates. The initial weight gain can occur when the glucose returns to normal levels. With high glucose levels, the cells burn fat for energy, a process that is dangerous in and of itself as that is hard on the kidneys. As the glucose lowers, metabolism returns to normal, so some folks gain back the weight they should have never lost in the first place. A little weight gain is better than all the potential negative consequences of high blood glucose. So, before you ditch your pills in fear they may cause wieght gain, have a conversation with your doctor or diabetes educator.
