Hi, i am 60 year old person and i have type 2 diabetic. Please help me to know whether this 1000 MG medicine is powerful and is there any side effect by consuming this. earlier i used to take 500 MG of the same tablet, but sugar level was didn't come down hence myself started taking 1000MG. also some times i am experiencing the lower back pain and forefoot and fingers are feels like burning. ## All medications carry the risk of causing side effects, the NIH lists the typical ones for this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain, flatulence, and diarrhea. As to the pain and burning sensation, that could be due to your diabetes, if it has been out of control for awhile. Has there been any change? Are you on any other medications? Do you watch your di...

What does above mean? The "7L" is imprinted on my pill along with "001", but the "description" on the label only says that "001" is imprinted?? Please help!! Thank you!! ## The tablet with the TL 001 marking is not Metformin. It is manufactured by Cadista and they list it as containing 4mgs of Methylprednisolone, which a steroid used to treat allergic reactions and immune disorders. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, fluid retention, nervousness, insomnia, acne, and weight gain. If you were supposed to receive Metformin to treat diabetes, someone has made an error and you should inform your pharmacy immediately. Are you diabetic?

Hello - recently I moved and changed pharmacies. My renewal for Metformin from the new drug store says Apo-Metformin 500mg. My old medication from previous Drug store says Ratio-Metformin 500 mg. Is there a difference in how these work? ## No, they are just manufactured by different companies, but the medication and how it works is the same. The U.S. FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain, flatulence, and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

Hello - My Husband has been taking Amox Clav 875 2 x per day for almost 4 months. He has diabetic pressure ulcers on his feet that are healing very slowly. We are going for a liver transplant in a few months and I am concerned that he could be building up a resistance to this drug? Can that happen? Should I rotate him onto another antibiotic for the next few weeks until this heals? Thank you so much for help!!! ## Hello, Michelle! How are you and your husband? It would be best to continue taking the one that has been prescribed by his doctor. It is later, such as when he has surgery, that they will be concerned with using a different one, if an antibiotic is needed. This medication may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything ...

I am a type 1 diabetic, and while following all medication prescribed by doc and adjust my lifestyle, I seek a more natural way to help myself. I stumbled upon this site called: "curefortype1diabetesreveal" and I am not sure if what it offers is real. Has anyone seen this before? They claimed you can cure diabetes naturally... any help/advice will be appreciated! ## Hello, Will! How are you? At this time, there is no cure for diabetes, it is a disease that can only be managed and controlled, according to NIH reports. Proper diet and exercise may enable you to reach a point where you no longer need to use medications to treat it, but it will never be a condition, under current treatments, that you can ignore. What medications are you currently taking?

I am a type 2 diabetic patient of 8 years. Since last 2 years I have been consuming galvus met 50 850 twice daily - before breakfast & before dinner. ## Hello, Saibal! How are you doing? In cases where someone asks a question like this, it's very important to let you know that while there is always some risks associated with the long-term use of any medication, your risks would be far, far greater if you didn't take the medication and let your blood sugar soar out of control. That burns up your organs, which can lead to blindness, kidney failure, liver failure, nerve damage and loss of appendages. Thus, you should continue with the medication as long as your doctor instructs you that it is needed. Are there any other questions or concerns? ## what drugs is more effective for...

Good Day. Is Betamox 500mg Ok for a Type 2 Diabetic? I have a urinary tract infection and my urine had a lot of sugar. Regards Jabu. ## You should take the medication as instructed by your doctor. The U.S. FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. However, this medication will not remedy the problem of there being sugar in your urine. That can only be fixed by getting your diabetes under control. What medications are you on for your diabetes?

Pain increases, it appears, after being subjected to shaking? jerking of the body while moving along an uneven road by car. Please advice whether this pain has any relation with cabg or it is a sepatate issue. ## It is most likely due to the Storvas that you are taking, as reported by the NIH, it is well known to cause joint and muscle aches in most people that take it, along with headache, nausea, and dizziness.

Is Zoryl m2 supposed to be taken before or after food in the morning? I'm currently taking 2 tablets at night. ## When were you instructed to take it? Normally, it is taken just before a meal, that way it has the time to start working, when you are digesting your meal and will experience the greatest blood sugar elevations. The U.S. FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain, flatulence, diarrhea, and hypoglycemia.

I was diabetic 2 and in the beginning prescribed Glipermide and Metformin but later it was suggested Metformin is not suitable if Uric acid is 1.5 or more, I had to stop it and was taking Glyciphage G1 but did not control sugar. I was suggested to take Insulin (First Insulatard and then Novomix 30) and Trajenta 5. This helped in controlling sugar to some extent. But some times I had spurt of FBS and RBS. PlS suggest any recent medicine for Diab 2 ## Does novamix 30 works better with metmorfin or with glimpride since I discussed with people they shared it works better results

However, they are usually transient and will go away, once your body gets used to the medication.

I and a friend are both in our later 60's. We did some looking for DBX13. We both are having some complications from Diabetes II. Hi A1c and daily counts, neuropathy and the nerve pain in the legs, plus trouble bringing down blood sugar levels and scores. We did a google search after I listened to Jenny Thompson for too long with all her different recommendations. DBX13 is surely great based on evidence online. But the product itself is not available... HOWEVER, THE LINK FORWARDED ME TO GLUCOCIL. THIS PRODUCT IS HIGHLY FAVORED BY 9/10 OF THE REVIEWS, WITH SO MANY STATING THAT IT DOES WHAT dbx13 STATES THAT IT DOES. I'LL UPDATE YOU. AMAZON IS ADVERTISING IT FOR $20 OFF AT $39.99. THAT FITS RIGHT IN WITH GNC AT $59.99 AND WALGREENS, VERY CLOSE TO THE SAME. I PRAY IT WORKS AS GOOD ...
