July 5, 2008 3:13 PM I have used this product for more than ten years, with nothing bad to report. My doctor has assured me this product has been in use for many years, and I believe him when he tells me it is safe. Pros:I have used this product with other oral meds as well as insulin, and it has been a reliable predictable medicine for me. After the first month or so, the normal gastrointestinal complaints were no longer an issue for me. Cons:None for me. |

June 28, 2008 5:44 PM I take 750mg twice a day with Advandia 4mg. I was on 500mg, but it did not control my blood sugar. Now that I take 750mg 2X daily, my sugar is well controlled. Pros:Controls my sugar Cons:Unknown |

June 22, 2008 9:11 PM The best meds i have been on are metforim with Glyburide. I just don't see how the docs get away with taking us off meds that work and putting us on meds that don't. |
