As in all cases it depends upon how advanced your liver disease is and your total health status.

"Advair is an inhaled medicine used to treat lung diseases. Manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) advises that all users of its Advair Diskus who have liver problems consult their physician before using the product.
My mother was diagnosed 5 years ago with CAD, CHF, COPD, and also has type II diabetes. She used to be a smoker, but quit 5 years ago. She had angioplasty with 5 stents placed in 2005. Al has been well until a few months ago. She is gaining weight, has trouble breathing, and has been experiencing some chest pains lately (Dr. gave nitro). She is on avandia and I would like to know if this could be the cause of her recent decline in health?
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??
Also, are the Kidneys affected by Diabetes ? I recently had my Urine checked because of burning as I have been subject to bladder infections for years. It was ok. I have Fibro so hard to tell whats causing aching but have been having this burning and aching on both sides of waist but onlyduring the night, also frequent urinating 3-4 x a night but not every night, My readings are usually under 100 and last two averages were 99 so don't think it's out of control.
I have to ponder what the dosage of Metformin would be for those who are not insulin resistant or have type 2 diabetes. My husband takes etformin for type 2 diabetes. It controls his glucose levels well and of course without it his reading are very high. Granted he takes (4) 500 mg per day. Wondering if even low doses of Metformin would make someone without IR or diabetes hypoglycemic and if not would low dose Metformin be effective is halting virus replication.
I am experiencing some weight loss and I am not sure if it due to my sugar, the fact I was taken off Avandia and put on Junovia because I know Avandia increases weight or if something else is happening to me.
Also would high blood sugar like mine lead to sweating, tingling in legs and hands and I almost feel like my body is hot...
I am 57 year old female with strong family history of diabetes, heart attack, stroke and cancer. I am taking insulin 2 x daily and have recently have started have tingling/numbness sensations in my lower legs and feet and my arms. Could this is from the type 2 diabetes I have?
Also go on the websites of the manufactures, sometimes they have coupons for a % off your bill. When I joint the avandia program I got a couple months free avandia, plus they send coupons at times. Also ask your md for samples. I use to work at a doctors office and we got enough samples to open a pharmacy. Another thing, if your job offers a flexible spending account, I find that is nice as well. it reduces your taxes and you can contribute up to 3000 a year to them. good luck.
Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes, accounting for 90 - 95% of cases. In type 2 diabetes, the body does not respond properly to insulin, a condition known as insulin resistance. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that regulates how the body converts sugar (glucose) into energy.
Can I take Evening Primrose and Femara together? I'm also taking Avandia. Any thoughts would be great!
There are drugs which will improve fatty liver infiltration - I believe Avandia is one - but I understand they come with their own set of side effects.
Metformin is in general, a good medication. There are others in the class such as Avandia. You can talk to your doctor about this. You might try drinking more water, eating more fiber (vegetables, whole grains), taking psyllium seed fiber and walking regularly. Each of those can help. Of course, there is always the laxative option but it's best to try the others first. Take it with meals, this helps. Onglyza is another alternative medication idea.
Prior to that I took oral medications only(all sorts, metformin, avandia, etc..) In October of last year my A1C was at 6.3. Adjusting my insulin levels seemed to have no effect on my fasting blood gloucose level (typically in 130 range). August of last year I was put on Tricor and added Diovan 160 in Novemeber, and have always been taking 1000mg of metformin twice a day. Since November my blood sugar has become unmanagable (fasting in 150+ range).
I posted about this a few weeks back about Metformin and here is the whole article about it. It is very interesting that a diabetes drug has been found to combat cancer and HCV. There are probably many other drugs already approved that could also help different diseases if used "off label". Usually these things are found out by accident.

As the days passed, the symptoms became more pronounced. And then it hit me. A few months earlier, my doctor had stopped the Avandia I was taking for my diabetes, and added Januvia instead. He gave me a month's supply of samples. When they ran out, I neglected to call the doctor so that he could call a prescription into the pharmacy. I began to think that my symptoms might have been caused to rising glucose levels for which I was not taking my medication.
ve met who have had diabetes II a long time and have never really got into trying to figure out how to eat, etc., etc. I would not be nerveous about taking met.
That sounds like it should be good for you if you are ovulating on your own and aren't having any other problems. I was on femara and avandia (for PCOS), and I had to have a trigger shot (because I don't ovulate on my own). But I got pregnant on my second month of femara (with IUI). And that was after 6 years of trying and being on clomid for a really long time. So I really believe in femara!
I have PCOS also, and I am currently 20 weeks pregnant. I was put on avandia (similar to metformin), femara (similar to clomid), and a trigger shot to help me ovulate. I also did IUI. But I got pregnant on my second cycle of this combination. This was after trying for 6 years, but only 9 months with a reproductive endocrinologist. So I would suggest that if you do have PCOS, and you aren't currently seeing an RE, to go see one.
From what I have read about positive GAD antibodies and diabetes, the presence of positive results does not mean an automatic 100% chance of developing either type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Many studies are being done now on GAD antibody markers in order to better understand the correlation, but apparently not ALL people with positive levels develop diabetes.
ve been on glucophage since the beginning (10 years) , with the exception of a short and nearly fatal foray into Avandia use. I've had all those symptoms for ten years. I also have passed out several times from low blood sugar, something the doctors say doesn't happen on this medication. Ha, ha. Tell that to the Saturday morning crowd at Denny's.
I have been told I am an exception and, normally, the symptoms are supposed to fade after a few months.
