How effective has Glipizide Been For You
Good Evening, About six months ago, I was surprisingly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and was originally put on insulin when I was hospitalized. After two months, I was given an oral medication called Glipizide and was even sent home on that medication. I have found the results from this medication far more successful than when I was on an insulin shot. I would enjoy corresponding with others who are on this medication. Did you experience any side effects or how succedssful has it been with you? Thank You-Tony

How effective has Glipizide Been For You
I've been Type 2 for about a year. The doc and I have been switching medication for the past 6 months and I have only been on Glipizide for about 2-3 months (replaced Glyburide). 5mg twice a day and Actos once a day.

Personally I don't think either Glipizide or Glyburide is extremely effective for me. My peaks are lower, but that could be just from better eating.

Actos takes several week to several months to become affective and I believe it is the reason for my recent lower numbers during the day.

Neither drug is lowering my morning readings which typically ranges from 120-140.

Buy the book "The Diabetic Bible". The chapter on drugs is worth the price alone.

taking provera
Hi I am 30 years old and currently have one child. I have not menstrated for seven years and have been unable to have another child despite many attempts. I have PCOD and Metformin is a med I took for that. I was on it for a year and nothing.I finally made an appointment with a spec. and he put me on provera to "bring down my cycle". Like clock work, it happened. He has now put me on Clomid, which I am due to start in one day, to "spark" ovulation. My clock is ticking and I want to have another child. This entire deal is new to me and was wanting to know if anyone had any pointers. I also found out none of this is covered by insurance! Ouch
:-( thank you in advance for your support.

taking provera
I got off the pill in June 04 and have had 3 periods all of which have been forced by taking provera. My doc has also put me on fremera twice to ovulate and nothing happened. This time I am taking provera and Clomid afterwards. In the meantime, I've been taking metformin to increase my progesterone level (I'm taking it 3 times a day!, per doctor orders). I few questions I have:
1) I've been cramping worse than ever on provera this time. Is this ovulation?
2) Does Provera make you ovulate, or do I have to take Clomid or Fremera?
3) Does Clomid increase your chances of multiple eggs being released? my husband is freaking out about this part.
