Ok, I'm a female, 56, about 45 lbs overweight. Yes, I need to do exercise but I have so many chronic pain issues not to mention depression from the pain that I don't do much. I can't even walk much due to foot pain problems. Anyway, my blood glucose used to be around the 140 mark then I started taking Actos 30 mg mg., I now take ONLY take 15 mg and my fasting blood sugar is around 110 to 115.
