I am very sorry about the problems you have experienced from it.

Unfortunately, there is no way to know, ahead of time, how any given medication is going to affect anyone that takes it.

Most medications are processed through the liver, so there is always a risk associated with using them for a long period of time.

What do you use for your diabetes, now?
