Experiences with

Repaglinide

Medicines presently taking - Metoprolol 50Mg for Blood Pressure, Propranolol 10MG, Vitamin E, Vitamin B12, Repaglinide 0.5 with Insulin for Diabetice. (He is diabetice and has hypertesion from last 18 years). For liver we are only giving him natural supplements.

These medications include sitagliptin (Januvia), repaglinide (Prandin), and others. While these medications don’t significantly improve fasting glucose values, they still lower your A1C level because of the decrease in post-meal glucose spikes.

Taking repaglinide now..5, 1, and.5 mg daily. Fasting sugar remains 150_170 range. Ppabove250 normally. Hbaicremains more or less7-7.5 Any suggestions please

This is despite a v low carb diet and maximum doses of Repaglinide + Alogliptin and Dapagliflozin. (Metformin worked better, but I had to stop it 2-3 months ago because of side effects.) Sigh. Will have to consult on what to do next . . . . Just having a moan . . .

Repaglinide vs Glibenclamide: When compared to glibenclamide, Repaglinide has the following characteristic feature: 1. Fast Absorption 2. Short biological half life 3. Short duration of insulinotrophic activity 4. Lowest post-prandial Blood glucose 5.
