Although this medicine has gotten my sugars down and my A1c is 6.0,it has also caused weight gain and swelling . That is the part I am not happy with. The info that comes with the meds does warn about this but my doctor was not .

Just started taking this medicine since metformin alone wasn't helping me lower my blood sugar, so far the only symptoms I'm experiencing is increase appetite.
