Additional Comments:

When I took tehis medicationf or teh first time, i had a severe allergic reaction. I went into cardiac arrythmia, could not breathe, sweats, lost hearing. Upon calling an ambulabce which never came. I spoke with teh company emergency number. The reaction I had occirs in 1 in 200 people. Often they sau because it is not for those with liver damage or type 1 diabetes or those who have high control. It was after that we disocvered i was really type I and had a previous history of liver damage from mercury poisioning. I do not recommenmd this drug for any diabetic. It just creates a different taxation on teh system and adds to cardiac complications.

I take this drug to help me maintain proper blood sugar levels. Since being diagnosed as a diabetic this is the only medication I've taken and it works very well. I really don't have any side-effects that I can think of and would definitely recommend this for those with Type II diabetes.
