Getting away from Avandia may be a good step as it causes fluid
retention on the heart and sometimes,according to study
results,cardiovascular problems.Actos is supposed to be safer.
Metformin is probably the safest diabetes drug.If you have
concerns about GI problems,you should probably take the extended release version of Metformin.You can check out
detailed information on prescription drugs at www.rxlist.com.
Good luck

Just had to get a refill on my diabetes med and have actually called the Dr. back to get the Metformin (extended release). To be honest the only reason I didn't want to try it is because I work in an office and didn't want to have any unexpected accidents, since I'm a long way from the restroom. My son actually takes Metformin and has told me he has to cut his dose to prevent this from happening to him at work.

Thanks so much for the info.
