This drug changed my life. After years of fighting blood sugars regularly above 400, my previous Endocrinologist had all but given up on me and wanted to put me on a pump, which I did not need. I found a different Endo who then made me a proposal. She said " I have a new drug I want you to try for 2 weeks, no insulin, if it doesn't work we can always go back to his suggestion" Within 2 days I ...

2 years ago my diabetes was out of control. It was the low blood sugars that were causing me the problems, but I also had high blood sugars. I was taking both Metformin and Glimepiride for several years, but my blood sugars were like a roller coaster. When i had low blood sugar, I had anger problems and would get in to shouting matches with people over small things. My primary doctor sent me to an endocrinologist who took me off of Glimiperide and put me on Glyxambi. I lost 32 lbs and my A1c dropped to 6.0 (with medications). I have maintained 6.0 to 6.5 now for the last two years with no low blood sugar episodes or anger issues. I maintain my diabetic diet but I can "cheat" on occasion without paying a penalty. I couldn't do that before. Glyxambi has helped improve the quality of my life!Read More Read Less

Done with Glyxambia after one dose. Within one hour of taking it this morning, I felt like had I drank a gallon or two of coffee: Jittery, agitated, rapid speech. No more for me.

I found a different Endo who then made me a proposal. She said " I have a new drug I want you to try for 2 weeks, no insulin, if it doesn't work we can always go back to his suggestion" Within 2 days I was staying in the 250-300 range on my own. Once she saw this she added Glimiperide at night and metformin base and now I am usually 120-200 but never higher or lower. This truly changed my life. No Insulin, no anything but the 3 pills.

I love this medication! I have been on several Diabetes medications and nothing has been as effective as this medication. I take it in conjunction with Metformin ER. Since taking this medication, my readings range from 90 - 126. This is a signifigant improvement over the other medications. I cannot say enough great things about this medication.

I have joint pain and general achiness, numerous bowel movements per day, frequent urination,slight headache, tiredness and slight nausea. I have rheumatoid arthritis and take an antiinflamatory which lessens the joint pain. Glyxambi exacerbates the joint pain and achiness. I have only been on this for a week and really feel lousy. Will be calling doctor to tell him. It did lower my A1c to normal levels but I don't think the side effects justify feeling miserable.
