Is it best to take actos in the morning or evening? I am on metformin and glipized, as well. Is it best to take actos along with these medications to be more effective?

Hi all,
My hubby was dx'ed 2 weeks ago w/ diabetes II. His regular doc put him on 30 mg Actos daily. At 1st hubby's blood sugar was a whopping 390- now it's down to 76-90 in the am and no more than 180 even after lots of sugary food. Obviously the blood sugar is well under control now. The problem is, my husband's vision is going crazy! I know that diabetes can cause vision problems when blood sugar is high, but the way it's happening doesn't make sense.

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis or NASH is a common, often “silent” liver disease. It resembles alcoholic liver disease, but occurs in people who drink little or no alcohol. The major feature in NASH is fat in the liver, along with inflammation and damage. Most people with NASH feel well and are not aware that they have a liver problem.
t alarming, especially if what your title would indicate, NASH, is the case. Working on your diet and exercise should be a priority - remain committed towards making some positive changes. Good luck.
I was doing some research and found a disease called NASH. Non- Alcoholic Steato-Hepatitis (sp?). 2-5% of Americans get it. They said it is a 'silent' liver disease. I want the biopsied tissue to be tested for Nash...is that possible? Are liver enzymes elevated to that point linked to NASH or are they still to high. I could not find specific numbers related to NASH.
I love the name Nash! Is there someone who you would like to name your baby after? I always use the middle
Name to honor a relative.
I was diagnosed at the age of 15 with NASH, I already had mild chirrosis with alot of fibrosis. My doctor then told me to watch my wieight as well as cut my fat and sugar intake. He also prescribed Milk Thistle two to three times a day. That was years ago. I went over 7 years without watching my diet, I was drinking occasionally and I just started going to a Dr again.
My wife 53, noticed NASH in her last U/S 6-7 month back, she is getting acid like even after eating of small food,she is diabetic,hypertension,osteopenia.
I have diabetes ll. My doctor has given me Actos 30 mg. I have been hearing a lot about this drug and none of it's good, saying long term use causes bladder cancer. My last A1c was 6.1 although now due for another one. I'm not sure the risk involved with this drug is worth the benefits as my sugar is not out of control and my numbers are always under 175. Is Actos a safe drug to use??
I took Actos and within a week started having stomach and left side pains. I stopped actos and 75% of the symptoms are gone but I did see my doctor who ordered a CT scan which was normal. My labs have all been normal except I did show 21% atypical lymphs. Mono test was negative and so was H pylori blood test. I suspect the Actos started my problems. I felt bloated and full, pain in one specific area on left side, stomach stopped growling, etc.
