[QUOTE="Unbeliever, post: 265046, member: 30851"] I would just like to reinforce Jopar's warning about brining levels down too quickly. I had a massive bleed in my eye through my levels being brought down too quickly and macular oedema because I had previously been taking rosiglitazone. After several years of treatment I now accept that I am one of a very small group who do not respond to treatment for this condition. Although , for the moment, they are still trying. As Jopar says- stablity is the most important thing and reducing levels slowly. Since the initial bleed I have suffered others -whenever my levels FELl. Of course I am glad they are now low and stable to avoid other complications but it has not helped my eye condition.. I have read that it can take 3 years to do so. Unfortunately reducing levels can be a bit unpredictable . Mine happened overnight on first taking glimepiride. I was so pleased - and so was my doctor at the time. I don't want to frighten anyone but just bear it in mind - slow and steady is the safest way. [/QUOTE]
