need to see picture of glyburide/metformin .5/00 believe i may have received the wrong pills they look different than last ones ## Hello, Lynn! How are you? Can you please post back with the markings on them, as well as their shape and color? Since this is a generic medication, it is manufactured by several companies and each has different markings and may also look different. This is very common with generic medications, because it creates market competition and helps keep prices down. However, I can't possibly list them all or post pictures of all them for you. The FDA classifies this medication as being an oral antidiabetic agent and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizzies, flatulence, bloating and hypoglycemia. Can you post back with these additional detail...

I have Type 2 diabetes and have heard that DBX-13 a natural material maybe a way of helping or eliminating this problem ## Hi Jim, Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any specific details on DBX-13 anywhere on the web. Just a bunch of spam-like ads that briefly discuss its supposed benefits for curing diabetes. This is not to say that there is no cure, as I have personally seen type 2 diabetics get off their meds completely after changing their diet and exercise habits. This is probably the most natural way of curing most diseases, but often times it does take a great deal of will power and drive to make these necessary changes to leading a healthier lifestyle. I don't know about cures for type 1 diabetics, but I will say that there are several testimonies that can be found o...

I took Metformin once a day. Then the Dr. wanted me to take two a day. I took 2 a day then saw it was making me feel bad, tired, sleepy, no energy in the afternoon. I stopped the 2 dose & went back to 1. A month later I tried again with 2 a day. Now my muscles hurt like they have arthritis, hurting in muscles not joints. After 3 weeks of trying I stopped the 2 dose & went back to 1. My question is should I go to Dr. & have they change it all together or take 1 metformin & something else with it. I am afraid the Metformin is hurting my body because I am having bad reactions to 2. ## Hello, Debbie! How are you doing? I'm sorry about the way you're feeling. However, some of your symptoms were likely due to your body adjusting to the lowered sugar levels from taking ...

Hi! I started taking Metformin today. I have PCOS and gained 15 pounds in six months In conjunction I am following a Paleo diet with no grain or gluten whatsoever, no dairy other than butter and the occasional sweet potato or plantain. I'd like to know if fruit is a safe source of carbohydrate with Metformin?i take 500 mg with breakfast and dinner.are there specific times to make it more efficient? ## Hello, Delphine! How are you? The main concern with the fruit is the effect that the sugars in it will have on the insulin in your body. It's not dangerous, per se, but it could aggravate your PCOS, if you eat too much. The best time to take it is at the start of meal, so the medication has a chance to start working, by the time you are digesting your food. The FDA lists the typica...
