[QUOTE="Ellis79, post: 2082927, member: 99854"] Sorry to hear about your friend's condition. He needs to see a doctor as soon as possible and get tested and, if possible, referred to a consultant endocrinologist who will evaluate him thoroughly and build a proper treatment program for him. From the sound of it, he will probably need to be treated with insulin to bring his HB1AC down as well as regular medication. Piaglitazone, the main compound of the drug you mentioned, is indeed problematic. As a previous reader already noted, two other drugs in this group have been withdrawn from the market. Glidipion, or Actos, to use the other brand under which it is marketed, is still prescribed but people need to be monitored closely when they're on it. Another option is the new group of drugs called SGLT -2 (Sodium CoGlucose transporters). There are three drugs currently available in this category, Forxiga, Invokana, and Jardiance. They apparently work by increasing the pace of removal of sugar from the blood through the kidneys, which is then excreted in the urine. They are also becoming available in combination products, together with other drugs such as Metformin. At any rate, your friend should be having his medical condition checked ASAP. [/QUOTE]
