I am unclear as to how to take this medication. My doctor just told me to take in the a.m. I have been told to take it before meals and others say after meals. I am unable to reach my physician at this time. ## In our facility we administer the med at 9am; once we are sure that breakfast is available and is eaten. Every individual has a special case and deoendant on how fragile your diabetes is, the doctor may have more specific concerns on when to take the drug(ie if you are fasting or vomiting etc) Since the doctor stated that the AM is the time frame the doctor may not be concerned about the before or after aspect of the dosing too much. But do folow up with the question. The key to diabetes control is the diet/weight management and prescribed exercise with the medication regimen tak...

Even our diabetologist suggests not to take Jalra in case of Renal impairments . Regards ,

i need more detail info on this product and Info from other user. ## Hi James, I would encourage you to have a look at a couple of the other DBX-13 related discussion threads here, as there's some pertinent information you should know about the company (Heath Science Institute) who promotes this product: Discuss/dbx-13-251946.htm Discuss/DBX-13-scam-261559.htm To summarize my findings, DBX-13 is quite simply a scam. I think it's very sad that companies like HSI profit off building false hope for individuals who truly need help addressing complicated illnesses like diabetes or cancer. But threads like these can certainly be used to spread awareness and perhaps even point others to more promising alternatives or approaches to treatment.

I am diabetic since last 20 years. Recently my doctor prescribed Pioz 7.5. I am on insulin. I am taking Human Actrapit 3 times before every meal and Lantus at night. After taking Pioz there is a weight gain and swelling on the feet. Kindly suggest, do I need to take Pioz if I ma on insulin? Your reply would be appreciated. Many Thanks! ## Hello, Shabnam! How are you? What are your blood sugar readings? If they are still high and out of control, yes, you may need the additional medication. However, you should have the weight gain and swelling checked out to be safe. The FDA lists the other typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, stomach pain and flatulence. Is there anything else I can help with?

I am 67 years old having Type 2 Diabetes and taking Ramistar 5 mg for the past 5 Years as prescribed by my Doctor along with medicines Gluconorm G1,Glycomet 500 SR and Ecosprin AV 75.I am suffering from Erectile Disfunction for the past 4 years.Diabetes is under good control with HbA1C of around 6 for the past 3 Years.Want to know whether Ramistar is causing ED and what are the options available to overcome ED. ## In this case, it's difficult to say whether your ED is being caused by one of the medications, or by your diabetes. It might even be a combination of everything. And without being able to determine that, I can't really suggest how you might be able to overcome it. Have you consulted your doctor? They should be able to help you discover what's causing it and find a ...

Pills were found on the ground & an open medicine bottle with the name torn off. Found on school property. How should I dispose of them? ## Hello, Kat! How are you? Th FDA disposal instructions say that they should be mixed with some undesirable substance, such as damp used coffee grounds or dirty cat litter, placed in a sealed container such as a coffee can and then disposed of with your regular garbage. Alternatively, you can take them to any pharmacy and they will dispose of them for you. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Pharmacies may no longer do that. When my husband died, I tried to take his meds to our CVS for disposal, but they wouldn't take them. I did the kitty litter thing (it doesn't have to be "dirty" kitty litter).
