I have been taking Avandamet 2/500 since the beginning of December. My blood sugar is in control and I do not have any side effects.

I have been taking avandamet 2/1000 once a day. My doctor says it is a new drug and the 5 year tests say that if you are not taking insulin shots that everyone who took avandamet in the trials never had their diabetes get worse. Have been taking a month now. I take with food as it upset my stomach the first week bad, but after that just some heartburn once in a while. Maybe a little diarheah, but nothing serious. My blood sugar went from 200-220 to 90-150 while taking this for one month. My body is starting to produce more insulin for itself now and for some unknown reason I lost 9 pounds this month and this is the first time in 10 years I have lost weight this fast.

I've been taking Avandamet 4/1000 since May of this year. Initially, It made me slightly nauseas, my left ankle swelled, and I gained 10lbs. After a couple of weeks, though, it all went away. I get absolutely no side effects at all anymore.
