Kombiglyze vs Metformin
 | Kombiglyze |  | Metformin |  |
| This combination medication is used with a proper diet and exercise program and possibly with other medications to control high blood sugar. It is used in patients with type 2 diabetes (non-insulin-dependent diabetes). This product contains 2 medications. Saxagliptin works by increasing levels of natural substances called incretins. Incretins help to control blood sugar by increasing insulin release, especially after a meal. They also decrease the amount of sugar your liver makes. Metformin works by helping to restore your body's proper response to the insulin you naturally produce. It also decreases the amount of sugar that your liver makes and that your stomach/intestines absorb. Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs, and sexual function problems. Proper control of diabetes may also lessen your risk of a heart attack or stroke. This medication should not be used to treat people with type 1 diabetes (insulin-dependent diabetes). | Metformin is used with a proper diet and exercise program and possibly with other medications to control high blood sugar.

| Add Kombiglyze review This medication has worked great for me. I've lost 50 pounds with a combination of exercise, proper nutrition and this medication. I am very happy with the results. 35 Male. I just started the 2.5/ 1000 oral pills switched form the 5/1000. I'm a little worried about the pancreaitis side effect. But, seeing my blood sugars drop has been awesome. I recently have switch my lifestyle(eating like a rabbit and exercising.) I just started to experience the running nose, and I have been getting the diarreha when I drink some diet drinks(thanks for that form the 47 year old guy reveiw,above I was starting to wonder if it was my wife's cooking...lol.) I had cut that out diet drinks as well but, I enjoy a drink or so every once in a while. I have also signed up for the discounted price of $10 a perscrition.(1-866-747-4958) to see if you elegible for the loyalty program. I hope this helps. Sorry for my spelling. 47 Male Glucophage did not lower my blood sugar enough so the DR. put me on this. Does :5/1000 If you get headaches it is because your not drinking enough water. Stomach issues will last about 3 weeks and again water or Powerade zero helped alot. Be sure to take with food, as the effect is much more noticable. When I took this with anything that had aspertame in it (coke zero) I got bad gas pains. I do not get those pains with Splenda. | Add Metformin review I am not a fan of medication but have found this treatment necessary and effective. nothing special Severe stomach pain, extreme diarrea, tired all the time foggy brain can't think clearly, I'm on 2- 1000 pills a day , blood sugar still high now I'm on insulin can't deal with the stomach pain was told my kidneys are failing don't know what to do next Metformin eliminated my d2 symptoms in a couple of hours and has had no apparent side effects or nasty interactions with my other meds. It's generic, which means affordable, and does a good job of keeping my numbers around 120-130. | |||
