Diabetes, Type 2
"I&#039;ve been taking this medication for 6 weeks and my a1c is dropping. I&#039;ve dropped 4 lbs which is an added benefit. Side effects - slightly runny nose and constipation. I&#039;m drinking more fluids but still began getting constipated by week 4. I&#039;m also on Metformin so I haven&#039;t been constipated in years. The medication is very expensive at almost $1000 per quarter but luckily I have a diabetes plan that covers 100% if I abide by various rules else I wouldn&#039;t be taking this medication. Also, I don&#039;t want to take this medication long term with all the health warnings about &quot;could cause cancer&quot;."
