Yes now I am again but gained nearly 30 pounds trying one Diabetes medication after the other, they all worked but boy did they add the weight, Dr kept saying it's only temporary but heck I gained all that in only 6 weeks and wasn't eating much food either. I threw all that crap out and am sticking with one which I only take if my glucose goes over 130, if not I just watch what I eat. The lack of being able to be in the pool daily really doesn't help either, that pool walking is great exercise for me. I ate what I wanted within reason and never had to take a pill. Now bad carbs are treated like poison by me and that helps alot. [Roll Eyes]

Why in the world would medicine for Diabetics make you gain weight? It just doesn't make any sense. They FDA never should have approved such a drug.

Well I'll tell them you said so when I write my congressman and anyone else who'll listen but only after I have strangled my doctor who is suppose to know what the hell shes doing. Makes you wonder what kind of spiffs that drug company is handing out. I'll treat my own Diabetes Thank You very much... [Eek!]

I wish I could manage my daughter's Diabetes. I totally understand the disease becasue Ross has it too and has since we dated.

We took my daughter to a doctor last year. We did three visits and we were out of there. She was to help my daughter manage her Diabetes, but I don't think she knew too much about it herself. The best doctor for this disease is a doctor who has the disease. My husband had that until his doctor retired. [Frown]

I'm all for you managing your own disease, but be sure to check in with the doctor for your HBA1C blood test every few months to be certain you are doing a good job. [Wink]

Chatty, I really know nothing about diabetes medicine so this is just a stab in the dark BUT

Do you know anyone who can read and interpret those chemical formulas in the medicine box inserts, that list the chemicals which are in the drugs? Have this person compare the "bad" ones with the drug you went back to. Maybe there's a certain ingredient or combination that makes you gain weight, which isn't present in the one.

Just a thought.

Meredith, great point. Sometimes it's nothe medicine, but something in it. An example is some people are allergic to all sulfa drugs.
