Medications & Weight Loss

I have been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes this week. Not a shocker - but a heart breaker. I've been prescribed Metformin ER (1000 MG 2x's daily) & and Glipizide ER (5 MG once per day). After reading some of the posts in the different groups, I think that my dosage is pretty high. I'm 45 yrs old, 5' 10" and weight 245 lbs. Blood Sugar ranging from 260 to 214. I now know this is high.
Since starting this medication this week (Tues), I've found myself to be somewhat off/on nauseated (not to the point of up-chucking anything - just uncomfortable). It comes and goes throughout the day - more so around meals. I've been very conscientious about tracking my meals and exercising. Today when I weighted in, I actually gained 1.5 pounds (unspoken explicatives!).
Anybody have any experiences to share?
