I am 28 years old. I am taking Hosit and Ecospirin 75 which was prescribed by the doctor when I was ill when I was young. Now recently I was diagnosed as diabetic. I am bit concerned whether it is because of these tablets I take? Can you please help me with this. ## Hello, Chinna! How are you? No, neither of these would cause you to become diabetic. The Hosit is just a nutritional supplement and Ecosprin just contains Aspirin. What were your blood sugar levels at? What have you been prescribed to treat it?

My 8 year old daughter is apparently pre diabetic. Her fasting insulin is 44 which shouldn't be over somewhere around the low to mid 20's, I think was said. At a follow up appointment today w/ her pediatrician he order a couple more blood tests for liver enzyme level and lactic acid. He stated that if these tests are normal he wants to start her on Metformin. Naturally, I begin my Google search and see that it's not recommended for children under 10. Concerning? Yes. In a different situation this happened and my insurance wouldn't even consider paying with or without a prior authorization for the physician. Problem #2. I guess. Anyway a little history. ...She is, in my opinion, severely overweight at 127 lbs, is 1/2 African American, has plenty of extra waistline fat, wa...

need to obtain a Precision QID Glucometer for Diabetes Care. Where can I go to find one? ## Hello, Mile! How are you? I'm sorry, but I've not been able to find a listing of which pharmacies carry this. However, you should be able to just call them and ask. It's not like this is a controlled substance, so there shouldn't be a problem giving you an answer over the phone. Has anyone seen these anywhere?

Where can I get DBX-13 and is it for real ## Hi Joe, Of all the research I've done, there honestly isn't much evidence showing what DBX-13 really is or where it can be obtained. In short, many people (including myself) think it's a scam product. But if you'd like to check out some of the other discussion threads pertaining to this topic, I went ahead and posted the links below: Discuss/dbx-13-251946.htm Discuss/DBX-13-253070.htm Discuss/DBX-13-scam-261559.htm I hope this helps!

I am a type 2 diabetic, my doctor has prescribed 2.5mg of glimepiride, 300mg of Invokana and 50/1000 of Janumet, I was given a "free sample" of Janumet 50/1000 by the endocronolist I visted and he told me to take this XR at night, thus the regula Janumet 50/1000 on pill in am and Janumet XR 50/1000 in evening also one pill???? ## Hello, Michael! How are you? Have your blood sugar levels been out of control? Some people do require multiple medications with repeated dosing to get theirs under control. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, hypoglycemia, flatulence and stomach pain. However, if you're unsure about how you should take it and if you should double up, please call the doctor to double check.

My wife was prescribed potassium years ago. Does not remember mg or meq.We assume it was 10or 20 meq.She is now taking Oct potassium 99mg.How many 99mg would she take to get 10meq? She is diabetic and keeps it under control. ## Hello, Nick! How are you? There is no actual conversion for this, these 99mg over the counter potassium supplements aren't even close to the amount available in the prescription tablets. Additionally, it is not safe to take that much, unless her doctors has said she is dangerously low in it and needs to supplement it. Is there anything else I can help with?

I am sorry about the problem that you're having. Those may actually be complications of your diabetes. How have you blood sugar levels been recently? The burning and cracking might be due to your sugar levels being out of control and causing nerve damage.

doc advised me to take this tablet 3 times a day( after food) i.e morning, afternoon, and night.... so my question is if I consume this tablet 3 times in a day then will it nullify the sugar level I mean will it bring the sugar level below 50 ??? ## Hi Mady, Unfortunately there's no real way of knowing how this medication is going to end up affecting you and your blood sugar levels until you try it enough times to develop a true opinion. The effect this has on someone else's blood sugar levels may be totally different than yours based on several individual and biological factors. But with all do respect, isn't your doctor supposed to be monitoring your progress on a regular basis while you're first starting out on Metformin?

The pain has now come around to the front right below my ribcage. Ican only describe the pain as a constant dull ache kinda feeling like I was kicked in tge stomache. I have recently had and endoscope but didnt think it would be related to that. Any input would be great I have now scared myself reading about lactic acidosos when on this medication. Please let me know anyone! ## Have you consulted your doctor? Glumetza contains the active ingredient Metformin, which is an oral antidiabetic medication and it can cause some stomach pain and gas, as a side effect, but it really soun...

What is it and what is it used for? ## hi, am diabetic and have been put on mixtard infusion twice a day by my doc, however pimples have invaded my face and yet i have had no pimples before. Coud this be a bad effect of the drug? if so what effective remedies could you suggest for the pimples. I've used pimple creams and other commom remedies to no avail.p'se help. ## @AB, To answer your question, Oxyprofen (brand name Combunox) contains the active ingredients Ibuprofen + Oxycodone. I didn't find exact dosages, but I'd imagine the 30mgs would probably be associated with Oxycodone, and the 100mgs is likely to be for Ibuprofen. The combination itself is widely used for moderate to severe pain relief. @Tj, Mixtard is a completely different medication altogether. Apparently ...

Could you tell me if the metaformin er 500 mg is gluten free? The tablet has IP 178 imprinted on it. ## Hi Melany, Based on my research, Amneal's 500mg Metformin hydrochloride ER tablets imprinted with IP 178, reportedly contain the following set of inactive ingredients: colloidal silicon dioxide + hypromellose + magnesium stearate + microcrystalline cellulose However, gluten as well as gluten derivatives do not appear to be listed here, so you should be safe in that regard. I hope this helps!
