Q: Can any one tell about Avandia?
The Dr has prescribed avandia, there is a history of heart disease, and stroke. Would it be wise, for me to take it.
A: Every drug has their possibilities for complications. As long as you feel comfortable with your doctor and his decision (and you have talked about all possibilities) then try it. If you still don't feel it wise to take it, then get a second opinion. Have you tried other medications to lower your blood glucose? See if you can explain to your doctor about a change of drug. Good luck!
Q: confused on meds/ Lantis and avandia. Have lost sight in one eye due to swelling and macular edema.?
Avandia causes macular edema, swelling of eyes. If not taken will bottom out in diabeic coma. Is there no other med to replace advandia? Also take lantis by shot 30 mg pm.
A: I don't know they've found the mechanism by which avandia gives macular degeneration. Lantus is a long acting insulin to kind of force your cells to uptake glucose properly. You have type II diabetes but you could easily be treated on insulin only regime or insulin + tablets or just tablets. Probably they've discontinued use of avandia because of your eye worries and put you on actrapid/novarapid three times daily plus lantus. This is the closest you can get to the natural regulation of blood sugars.
Q: why prescribe Avandia rather than long acting insulin by injection for type 2 diabetic control?
A: Type 2 diabetics are producing enough insulin, it's just that their bodies are unable to utilize it. Avandia frees up that insulin for the body to use, and without the risk of hypoglycemia.
Injected insulin has to be carefully monitored and errors can have terrible consequences.
Q: has anyone taken avandia, i hear that it makes you gaing weight?
I just was recently diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic and since have changed my eating habits and my exercises.The doctor told me i should lose some weight and i'm trying however i hear that avandia makes you gain some weight. If any one has taken this could you please offer any suggestions. i just can't seem to lose weight.
A: Avandia is an insulin sensitizer, which means that it increases the effect that the insulin in your body (or the insulin your inject, the drug doesn't care) has on you. Now, one of the things that insulin does is tell your body to take sugar up from the blood into cells where it can be metabolized and stored rather than filtered out through the kidneys, so yes, you will be able to use more of the calories from the food you eat and will tend to gain weight compared to an uncontrolled diabetic who is peeing out sugar due to high levels in the blood.
It's also true that loosing weight can help type 2 diabetics control their blood sugar better. So why would be give a drug that seems to do something entirely opposite to the effect we would want? Well, because it also lowers serum glucose levels, which is the most important thing. First we try to get the blood sugar under control, then we worry about weight loss. So take your meds as your doctor prescribes them, talk to him about it, check your blood sugar to see how you're doing, and you can work with your doctor to adjust your diet and exercise regimen to loose weight even while on the meds.
Q: Can you get pregnant from taking avandia and byetta?
A: Are you asking if Avandia (I'm on it) and Byetta (don't know what that is) help you get pg if you're TTC? Yes, Avandia for sure can b/c it will help with insulin resistance (IR) which, in turn, helps your hormones.
Do you have PCOS? I have it with IR and that's why I'm on Avandia, Sprionolactone (Aldactone), and low-dose monophasic BC pills.
