The diabetic doctor has offered to put me on pioglitazone but I have recently read that this has been linked to bladder cancer? My understanding is that the control of my diabetes far outweighs the risk of taking pioglitazone but I would still worry about such a trade off. I would like to ask what do other diabetics who are on this medication think about it?
