Generic Name: Glumetza for Diabetes, Type 2 (metformin)
Glumetza for Diabetes, Type 2 Reviews
"For the past 22 years, I have been taking a different metformin brand. For the past 3 months, I switched to Glumetza, noticing a significant difference. Not only did it help lower my level of glucose, but also contributed to reducing my hypertension to almost a normal range."
"I changed from regular metformin as I could not tolerate a higher dose, and my A1C was up at 9.7. I have now been on Glumetza for a few weeks, and my readings at home have been much better, with no side effects. I also lost 14 lbs in weight. I believe my A1C will be well below 7.0 in April."
"I've been taking Glumetza ER (500 mg) for three weeks now, and so far, so good. My levels came down to 85-115 within the first five days from 230. I take it with breakfast, but I'm thinking about changing it to dinner time because my numbers always go up while I'm sleeping. I sometimes get a slight headache about five hours after I take it, and right about the same time, have loose stools. It doesn't bother me as long as it keeps my numbers down. I've lost a total of 11 pounds since finding out I'm type 2 and using Glumetza ER. I'm 32, 180 lbs, 5'3", and a mother to two beautiful girls."
"very hard on the stomach but worked ok for reducing blood glucose. VERY expensive"
