User Reviews for repaglinide oral

I took only one pill as prescribed for the first time. After about 5 hours my sugar level dropped to 44. This pill almost killed me. Fortunately even though I was hit with sudden terrible symptoms (dizziness, impaired vision, shaking, sweating) I was aware enough to take my glucose level and immediately drink orange juice. It took more than 3 hours for my sugar to return to a reasonable level and I was disoriented the following day. BE VERY CAREFUL!

I was diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes 5 years ago. During that time i was prescribed Metformin and although i had no problems with that medication, my Dr, just recently put me on Repaglinide No side effects to report except for (weight gain).

Need be in 0.5 mg , the minimum doses, this TO AVOID very Risky HYPOGLYCEMIA EVENTS (LOW risky Sugar caused by pill), my recommendation take with each meal (0.5 ms pill) 3 times a day- takes approx 30 minutes to act-

I have used repaglinide for 14 years. It has kept my glucose levels in check all this time. Only recently has my readings gone up slowly. My doctor is deciding maybe to change my medication. It is easy to use and remember to take.

I began this medication 3 yrs ago, during my convalescence from surgery (at which time I was also initially diagnosed with type 2 diabetes). Following the surgery, as soon as I was well enough to begin walking a bit, my blood sugars dropped immediately into the normal range. They have remained there ever since and I have maintained excellent control (A1C levels 5.2-5.6) ever since, on 2 mg three times per day. I exercise every day for 30-60 minutes and try to eat sensibly and my sugar levels are consistently excellent. I feel better than I have in years! Read More Read Less
