I was started on this medicine when first diagnosed and seemed ok , but immediately I developed a painful rash across my chest and neck and thighs. It itched and hurt to the touch. I was told this was the most effective and best med to try and be on, but the side effects were awful and I could not see great results after 1 month in my sugar levels.
Pros
May not cause weight gain.
Cons
Hard to swallow, many side effects that are not bearable.

Made me very sick no matter what dosage. It made my lower back hurt all of the time, in the kidney area. It also did not control my diabetes.
