Experiences with

Metformin / Glipizide

I was taken off metformin because of severe CKD so can't take that again. Any suggestions of a substitute for glurenorm or a kidney friendly alternative? Pharmacist was of no help. Can't contact the doctor and only have enough for one more day.

For example my Ramipril was increased to 10 mg a day and have stopped Metformin altogether. I have also been put on Amlopidine 5 mg a day.

That is NORMAL blood sugar numbers and I'm just taking 250 mg of Metformin twice a day, eating healthier and being more active. I've also lost 6 pounds since I've been off bed rest and no activity restrictions due to high blood pressure.

Hi Everyone, I have been on the following medication since 2004 Metformin ( Slow Release) Atorvastatin Fluoxetine Lercanidipine Perindopril And Ropinirole since 2012 I’m seeing my local GP tomorrow about my restless legs.

HPH-15 appears to have advantages in this regard, with studies showing that lactic acid production (which can cause lactic acidosis, a concern with metformin) was equal to or less than that observed in metformin-treated cells.

I have both CLL (contained by Acalabrutinib with it's side effects) and Diabetes (controlled with slow release insulin, metformin and sitaglyptin plus a healthy biome-focused diet). At Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge, I receive the best care imaginable but I have a problem over the Diabetes.

Statins appear beneficial, but metformin results are inconsistent: Statin and metformin use and outcomes in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer treated with enzalutamide: A meta-analysis of AFFIRM, PREVAIL and PROSPER.

He's giving me three months to get my A1C down with the low dose Metformin, eating healthy and exercising. If it's not down, then we go to finger sticks and checking it all the time and more regimented.

Do any of you lovely people out there know if there is a co-relation between lowering my levo dosage from 100 to 75 ( been on 100 for over 10 years but GP lowered it because of blood test about 6 month ago) and my type 2 diabetes result and cholesterol levels going up despite taking statins and metformin

I didn’t start the metformin because I had an upset stomach and now I want to find out more before inflicting yet another medication to my extensive list. Any insights welcome. Thank you!

I get very breathless and Cardiologist put me on Dapagliflozin in lieu of metformin daily to help with breathlessness. Am awaiting results of Full skeletal CT scan to see if Myeloma has spread which could effect TAVI being done. That's the background.

So no food since Tuesday morning and no prednisolone or indeed metformin either. Today at least I am upright and have eaten some cereal and taken my pred. I do have the usual GCA type headaches which are different and more severe than the novovirus ones.

My Integrative Medicine doc recommended trying Berberine, which can be effective and is generally easier to tolerate than metformin. I started on that and will see how it goes. She also ordered an Abdominal Ultrasound due to the recent increase in LFTs.

Been a diabetic for 20 years taking Metformin and then the last 10 years Metformin and Gliclazide , both come with side effects. Im fed up with feeling unwell, my sugar levels do bounce around abit, before I went to bed last night 6.8, this morning with only water taken through the night 7.3.

I am having skin itching since last 5 years near naval area on left side and also on back middle left side.I use only 250 Mg Metformin tablet once in noon. Can anyone help me to know what is the reason and how it can be cured.

I have also just been diagnosed with insulin resistance and tmy endo is going to start me on Metformin. My consultant thinks that anytime anyone has a blood test for T3 that it goes up and down. I don't believe that as I take the blood test under the same conditions every time.

I thought Metformin was almost an after thought. This was a total shock. I am in good hands now with a new powerful drug Sitagllptin Phos Monohyd 100 mgs ( Xelevia) I hope I can get its’ equivalent in the UK.
