this medication actually cut my blood sugar levels in half, I had to cut the mg to 2mg instead of 4mg. Works great.

Horrible product. Sugar levels went through the roof consistently. It does not work. Make you nauseous dizzy sleepy. Light headed feeling and unable to focus. Stopped taking and all went back to normal. Nothing but snake oil.

Of particular interest to me is how it is determined the dosage prescribed. I am currently taking 4mg once daily. I try to maintain a proper diet; but, my glucose meter levels flucuate between 105 to 155 on the norm. Generally I can expect the higher end readings after drinking a lemonade or soda the night before. Also, I have friends who are currently taking Metformine in amounts of 1000 to 2000 mg daily. I do wonder why my dosage is seemingly low compared to them. I would like some response if possible. Thank You.Read More Read Less
