[QUOTE="Wraakian, post: 1697580, member: 56005"] Thanks guys, This change of medication is due to my being diagnosed with having a rare type of diabetes and not the type 2 that I had been told I had 30 years ago! My diet is low carb and very healthy and apart from diabetes I am officially very healthy and fit for my age as my annual GP review came out excellent and I exercise regularly. I am awaiting a letter from the hospital diabetic doctor with more details but as I am now coming up to 71 years of age going onto pioglitazone isn't something I'm looking forward to. I will take a look at other similar drug alternatives that do the same job but might be safer. I also realise that some reports can be over the top where heart or cancer episodes are of little or no risk but it still plays on your mind if you have to go on such drugs! Thanks again everyone ... Much appreciated! [/QUOTE]
