Guest guest Posted November 19, 2002 Report Share Posted November 19, 2002 Hi Sue...I do take metformin, along with Actos & insulin. My Dr. says the metformin (Glucophage) & Actos work well together with weight loss issues. My HA1C dropped from between 9-11 to the 6's when I started Actos. Only problem is at times I get VERY ill in my gastric system from metformin. My Dr. says while she really beleves most generics are ok, she says some people don't have as severe gastric upsets with the actual Glucophage. So, we're experimenting with increasing the metformin by 1/3, but if my tummy acts up, she's given me a script for Glucophage only. Thanks for the sweet note Sue. We have our challenges, don't we. Love.... Tess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
