Diabetologist,  's  Response
I have gone through your query carefully and understood your concerns.
the medication tribet contains three medicines
1.glimipride
2.metformin
3.pioglitazone
The medication pioglitazone is associated with weight gain.
Daily exercise for 45 min also is very important to prevent weight gain.
i suggest you to speak with your treating doctor to consider changing of medication to other medicine.
regards
Hope I was able to help you.
If you have any further question feel free to write me back. I will be happy to help.
Take care.
Best Regards.
