| My brother in law had some kidney problems that caused the doctor to stop his metformin. He took this and Glyburide.
The endo stopped all of his oral meds, started him on insulin. He's having much better blood sugars and feels a lot better as he's not having the fluctuations he was having on oral meds.
BTW, his kidney function was much improved after just a few weeks off the oral meds. Creatinine clearance was back within normal limits.
