May 12, 2009 6:00 PM I have taken this drug for 9 years. I take 2mg four times per day to avoid hypoglycemia. Have taken other T2 medications, but always come back to this one. Pros:Works very well to lower high blood sugars. Works well as a primary diabetic medication. Very nice small pills. Cons:Be careful not to take too high a dose (for you) because of hypoglycemia risks. |

September 28, 2008 2:40 AM I took this for over 2 years and experienced frequent hypoglycemic episodes and significant weight gain, despite my efforts to the contrary. The most significant effect was a serious flair up of my congestive heart failure. New doctor told me I should never have been on this product because of cardiac history and am slowly improving after changing to different oral med.
Good control of hyperglycemia. Cons:Weight gain, episodes of hypoglycemia, not suitable for some cardiac patients. |
