diabetes, type 2
"When I was initially diagnosed, my Dr. put me on Metformin, which just ripped my stomach to bits.  He prescribed Actos in October, and I had really good luck with it until around Christmastime - I started having HORRIBLE sinus problems and nosebleeds.  We dropped to a 15 mg dose, but still no change with the sinus issues.  I went off it all together and all the symptoms disappeared.  



It was never our long term plan to keep me on Actos because of the cardiac implications, but it did the job we needed it to do; I went from fasting 400-504 BG readings down to fasting readings of 110-115."
