[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 953839, member: 43498"] Hi [USER=200728]@janice1956[/USER] and [USER=72596]@Eling[/USER] and welcome to the forum. In the interests of sharing information about drug benefits, side effects and risks, you might want to have a look at the links I posted above in post #7. Not trying to persuade you one way or another but I believe people are entitled to accurate information about the drugs they are prescribed and doctors often do not have the time to keep up to date with everything. They might not even realise some of the long term risks of the drugs they prescribe. So it's a good idea for us to do our own reading. The Blood Sugar 101 website has some very thorough info about each of the diabetes drugs available and you can find it by searching for the name of the drug on the site. I believe a safer alternative to some of the drugs is insulin therapy and the website has an article about that here: [URL]http://www.phlaunt.com/diabetes/15478720.php[/URL] For most people, reducing carbs may be the safest option of all and I believe this should be tried first, and if it doesn't work well enough to get your HbA1c level out of the danger zone for complications, then insulin may be an option to consider. Just my thoughts. [/QUOTE]
