1068689 tn?1325827206 Thanks for the info. When i was at my dizziest time, my BG's were still over 220. I was also dizzy at 180 so am pretty sure it is not due to low BG's at this point. The side affects to Glimepiride also includes dizziness. I was hoping others on here may have taken this pill and had some experiences with it. Since this new change in meds is new I'm sure there are some issues I just have to deal with.
Avatar m tn the drug glimepiride, is not making my blood sugar level lower; instead is higher 250! I am taking 2mg twice a day. My doctor says all is OK.
Avatar n tn After this happened a couple of times I quit taking the Metformin. About a year later I was then diagnosed with T2 and am now on Glimepiride and have since began having these episodes again. They begin in the jaw area primarily the glands just below my jaws, with a sting/tingling that intensifies and radiates out all around my ears, neck throat and surface of my chest, and my upper torso goes ice cold. This takes place any where from a 30 second to a 3 minute cycle.
Avatar m tn I have been on metformin for years, but was not controlling BG. My MD switched me to Glimeperide my BG is good but my appetite and weight have increased a lot. Any one have the same issues? Also, my vision is fluctuating from blurry to sharp during the day, I do have Myasthenia Gravis which can have vision issues too. Any comments?
Avatar f tn He takes 2 tablets Glycomet Trio 1 (Metformin HCL Sustained Release, Glimepiride & Voglibose Tablets) - 1 before taking lunch and before taking dinner.
Avatar m tn Thanks for answering, Just to clarify, I take high sugar foods OR I take metformin. Not both at the same time. I think metformin mostly helps with insulin resistance (and it doesnt lower the sugars since they are already normal). My sugars are OK even when I am not taking metformin. They get high from 5.5 to 8 when I eat, but they drop back to 6 or 5, 2 hours after eating. The sugar levels during the shaking and weakness episodes are 4.5 to 5.
1273125 tn?1365077526 Hey Scrappy - has your doctor suggested adding GLIMEPIRIDE to your Metformin? I am type 2, have been for 10 years - also only have 1/2 a Pancreas, as I had to have the other half removed due to a tumor in the head of my Pancreas - 8 hour surgery, and 8 days in the hospital, which is where the Insulin shots started. Initially, I came home from the hospital on both types of Insulin.
Avatar n tn Clonidine, Glimepiride, Byetta, Metformin, Amlodipine, Crestor, and Losartan HCT. Is it possible that it could be these meds? Please help!! I'm working by tail off and still have a GUT. Thank you in advance.
Avatar n tn Hi Doctor, My wife has consulted the doctor as advised by you and he has prescribed Cetapin 1000 mg 1-0-1 (metformin) along with Glimy-4(Glimepiride)1-0-0-. Hope this is OK.
Avatar f tn Metformin, Synthroid, Lisinopril, Effexor, Zocor, Singulair. Was diagnosed with diabetes and hypothyroidism Oct 07. Prior to diagnosis of diabetes/hypothyroidism I lost my sense of smell and taste. Currently have been without smell and taste for 11 months. ENT can't find any abnormalities; best guess is that is is damage to nerve caused by several bouts with sinusitis. Question now is this: is this loss also associated with diabetes? AND - why am I now having phantosmia?
Avatar f tn Anyway, he prescribed me a monitor to test at home, as well as put me on Metformin and Glimeperide. He actually gave me the monitor a month before putting me on the meds.
Avatar n tn hi im a plus plus size woman ttc for 1 year now with no results was dx with PCOS in nov. since than my OB has put me on met i have managed to lose some weight almost 30 lbs im now 330lbs..still losing i went to see an RE last month and he had me start on clomid i just finished taking my last pill on thursday and now waiting to see if i am going to ovulate i guess my question is do i have a pretty good chance to ovulate and get preg.? is my weight the issue? do overweight woman have healthy preg.
4067667 tn?1349533022 yes clomid 100 mg plus metformin 1500mg per day may work with success rate 20% per cycle . i hope you to be pregnant soon . PCOS is a simple disorder but need close monitore to check dose versus response .
Avatar n tn It’s possible that Metformin isn’t the right medication for you. There quite a few other medications you can try. I’ve read about Berberine, but wouldn’t use it unless the doctor okays it. From what I’ve read, Berberine is supposed to work the same/similar way as Metformin, so if Metformin isn’t working, it’s likely Berberine wouldn’t work either. You should talk to your doctor and ask for a different medication that might work better.
Avatar m tn Please do not put off calling your doc today. I looked up Amaryl (glimepiride) and it is used by type 2 diabetics to lower glucose levels. There's a discussion going on in this forum about type 2, after long periods of time (how long is unk), reversing into type 1 diabetics. In your case it seems you are combating low glucose levels and may have a flipped 180º. Let us know what your docs says. You will help a lot of readers by posting your history if you did turn into a type 1.
1907238 tn?1340711313 hi as anyone heard of getting pregnant using concieve plus my nurse as told me to use it.

Yes worst side effect, diarrhea & I feel sleepy. I used to take this med 1 yr ago, & after a paraloscopy to remove a cyst my gyn decided to put me on Clomid….. I’m trying to conceive…….
Avatar f tn I ovulate 15th day of my cycle every month...... Metformin will help with your periods... Its very important that u get on metformin b/c people with psco have a higher risk of mc... Plus u want to stay on it when u r preg...
1141673 tn?1261218041 My doctor had me on metformin it make you feel ill sometimes but honestly it helps you loss weight it cuts you apetite but it really didn't help with my menustration problem.
Avatar f tn I found out over a month ago that I have pcos and high insulin level so my doc put me on metformin. The second day on the meds I had my period and after that my husband and I started ttc and not it's time for my period again and nothing has happend but for the past two weeks I have been having pregnancy symptoms and my doc told me to wait until a week after my missed period to take a test.
604185 tn?1233960857 I have PCOS and doctor put me on metformin and I am on it(1500mg per day) past couple of months. I just started the IVF cycle(started pills) and doctor asked me to continue with metformin until I get a positive pregnancy. Is anyone on the same protocol as mine?
