I am actually going to see an endo in a week Harold. I am med phobic, i got diabetes from taking a drug called zyprexa. I am going to run this past my endo.

However, I beleive the drop in ac1 I had initially was from diet. My dr. said it would take 6 weeks for the actos to work, and it that point we weren't seeing much difference in my numbers so he eventually added met and then I saw a big difference in my numbers. (after about 3 weeks)

I am not at all comfortable taking the met. I developed uncontrollable twitching in my legs and my doctor took my off of my statin. I still have the twitching. so i am pretty scared of all drugs. (although at this point I really doubt the twitching was from the statin) the twitching could be the ace inhibitor or the actos. or from who knows what, those wo drugs have that side effect. my dr does not think it is neuropathy, although, I myself, have my doubts.

My mentrual cycles are crazy screwed up, and that could be the actos as well, or it could be my diet (I am not eating enough) or it could be I am 44.

I have mild swelling in my left leg, could be my varicose veins, could be the actos. who knows.

but I am not finding a good dr to help me with this ****, I am on my second dr. Decided to go to an endo to see what he says.
