Diabetes, Type 2
"I don&#039;t like this particular brand of Metformin. It doesn&#039;t have consistent results. My A1C  was down to 5.9 from 11.8 when first diagnosed  in 2009 after receiving a round of steroid shots for my back pain. My doctor had put me on a series of different diabetic  type 2 meds. They found I was insulin resistance. So, they put me on Actos  for about  6 months and that is what got everything under control. I also had a extreme diet change  in 4 months I lost 100 lbs. Also helped my numbers. Unfortunately I had a life changing event which required me too move out of state. I just had my urine checked and my kidneys seem to be fine but having major issue when my sugar is 129 -. My A1C has gone up since taking this. Itching, diarrhea, weight gain"
