I just heard about this last night, I am calling my mom this morning to see if she is still taking this. they just switched her diabetic meds last month and im not sure if they took this one away or not.. one of them was causing her to put on like 50lbs in 6mo...so they dropped it and put her on bieta (sp?) shots and she lost 15lbs so far in a month thank goodness. she had to have a heart stent in Nov 05. and has never been able to breathe right since, but they say its nothing to do with that stent. seems odd to me. they ruled out heart failure, lung problems or asthma, heart problem/blockage, no reason for her shortness of breath. what do you do???????? its so frustrating.
anyone that has neuropathy, she found a product that really helps her...at an unlikely place..its horse litament found in a vet store or pet supply store. she could barely stand the pain anymore and now this stuff is like a miracle to her.
and she swears by alpha lapoic acid to help her blood sugars. she finally after 20 yrs has hers in control to where she went from being maxed out on her pills 5 a day..to 2 now. and her numbers are in the normal range for the first time!
ask you doctors
