But the case is even after she stopped taking Pioglitazone , still she is getting such low levels. She took Pioglitazone for about 3 weeks. Now when we consulted the doctor he said, effects of Pioglitazone is still there in her body thats the reason why she is still getting that and nothing to worry.
But we feels that, there is something else. Could it be for Pioglitazone or can there be another reason for this ?
i am not considering for me since etv+ntz is clearing so much virus that maybe we don t even use interferon to lower hbsag faster, researcher said that it is extremely rare to clear 55% of hbsag in 4 weeks by any drug known, on the other hand i want to know about the study since hcc is the only big risk, early cirrhosis will clear in 1-3 years with hbvdna und and is already regressing.
Clinical trials are also looking at the effectiveness of certain antioxidants and newer diabetes medications in treating fatty liver disease. This is because of the disease's link to oxidative stress and diabetes.
I'm a type II diabetic, diagnosed in 2001. I have been on victoza since around November of 2011. I wasn't considered overweight (147 and 5'7" tall). I have lost nearly 23 pounds and can't stop losing, it seems. My lack of appetite is real concerning to me as well as the other side effects and the effects on my liver and kidneys. I would love to get off this drug for sure.
Other newer insulin-sensitising medicines include pioglitazone. This is not currently recommended for PCOS. For certain people with PCOS, a specialist may advise that metformin be taken. However, further research is needed to confirm the role of these medicines in the treatment of PCOS.
Now, since last Sunday(21st of September), we have noticed that the Blood glucose levels have gone past 200.(250,231,222 are the last 3 readings for her Fasting levels,281,274 and 250 the reading for Postprandial) . She has so much tension in her workplace and she is very very tired and exhausted by the time she leaves her work that she cant even stand up.We are very much worried. What should we do? Should we try taking Piogliit again?
Many patients with NASH have elevated blood lipids, such as cholesterol and triglycerides, and many have diabetes or pre-diabetes, but not every obese person or every patient with diabetes has NASH. Furthermore, some patients with NASH are not obese, do not have diabetes, and have normal blood cholesterol and lipids. NASH can occur without any apparent risk factor and can even occur in children. Thus, NASH is not simply obesity that affects the liver.
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.
I have been working out very hard even injuring my left arm after my doctor told me i had to lose weight due to diabetes. 6 weeks ago i had blood work done and everything was normal. Now a few days ago i had another blood work done and when i got my results my doctor said my liver enzyma are elevated. She sent me for another blood test as well as an ultrasound to make sure eeverything is ok.
The most important recommendations given to persons with this disease are to reduce their weight (if obese or overweight)
* follow a balanced and healthy diet
* increase physical activity
* avoid alcohol (which is toxic to the liver)
* avoid unnecessary medications which can further stress your liver
These are standard recommendations, but they can make a difference. They are also helpful for other conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, and high cholesterol.
Bitter melon is mainly used by ppl of Chinese or Phillipine ancestry so maybe someone will chime in about this melon. I know a family that uses it for alot of different ailments including diabetes. Here's a clip off of Pubmed.

The addition of dexamethasone, to a clomiphene regimen may increase the likelihood of ovulation by suppression of ACTH and any circulating adrenal androgens. For women who are unresponsive to clomiphene,the oral hypoglycemic agents like metformin could be of little help, or pioglitazone, may bring resumption of regular cycles and ovulation. These agents reduce the hyperinsulinemia and hyperandrogenemia in PCOS.
These are actually medically prescribed medicines for PCOS.
If you do carry some extra weight, then losing those 10 pounds would be very beneficial because extra fat cells do cause increased insulin resistance. But for now, your fasting numbers are well within the normal range. Normal for a fasting glucose is considered anything between 70-126, according to my endocrinologist. Some endocrinologists alter these numbers a little, but you are within the normal range even if the 126 were lowered to 110, which some doctors tend to do.
Take Prilosec for GERD and a potasium pill. Also on Peri-Colace for stomach problems. Spoke with the Dr. and discontinued all pills for a few days to see if it had any effect and it did not. Still swelling. Right now about 5 pounds of water, by tonight it will be 10 pounds. With being diabetic thought maybe CHF - told no, though renal problems - told no, not sure what it is, but need to find out. Thank you!
Either way, your cells don’t ‘absorb’ insulin efficiently; quite often, this is often a yellow flag for developing diabetes later in life.
The test for IR is the ‘HOMA IR’ test; it includes your insulin and glucose levels. The data regarding insulin resistance and its subsequent effect on HCV treatment is fairly new, and I don’t think there’s a firm consensus or body of knowledge available yet… only select studies showing a better response for patients that manage IR.
I am obese (300lbs), diabetic (type 2) and require medication to control hypetension. I take the following medications – Metformin, Pioglitazone, Victoza (liraglutide), Amlodipine, Ramipril, Bendroflumethiazide, Asprin and Statin.
I have a strange and embareasin problem. I hope someone out there may be able to offer some insight. I have always had sensitive nipples but in the last few days sensitivity in my left nipple has gone crazy.
wow! for a 109 year old guy you sure are doing well !! :) thanks for the insight. i do make excuses for lack of control on my diet but i have made progress. (compared to the the way i used to eat) i will look for that dreamfields pasta, i live in Mississippi so its a little behind the times as far as healthy foods are concerned. i used to walk 3 miles a day but gave it up when i saw no improvement in my sugar levels, i also had foot problems.
Also important is treatment with diabetes drugs, such as metformin and pioglitazone, to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce fat accumulation in the liver. This might reverse disease progression, the researchers note.
Other approaches to enhance patients' response to combination drug therapy may include longer duration of treatment and higher doses to counteract the decreased response to the drugs.
