[Diabetes-talk] What medications are out there, for people with type two diabetes?

[Debbie]

A friend of mine takes Glipazide, Acrobase, Inkovana, and Metformen-spelling 
not guaranteed-but this site may have all you want to know regarding oral 
meds.  It's at

> Hello everybody,

> I am taking Matt Foreman currently. I take 1000 mg in the morning, and 
> 1000 mg at night. This is the extended release form. We discovered

> I was extremely constipated, all of the time,. Even though my stomach 
> doctor put me on a syrup to take twice a day, a medication, and softener. 
> Really none of it made a difference. If I was not constipated or I would 
> barely use the bathroom, I would have serious bouts of diarrhea. It was 
> awful! My stomach doctor actually thought I had Gastro paresis. But my 
> diabetic doctor does not believe this. He has seen the report. I have been 
> on net Foreman for quite a while now. I cannot remember how many years. I 
> have always had trouble with either diarrhea, or painful, severe 
> constipation. I never thought it was the Met Forman. But now that I am 
> only taking one pill, I believe that it is the culprit. For the last few 
> days, my stomach is not hurt, I have less gas, and my bowels have worked 
> better than they ever have in the last three or so years. I don't want to 
> stay on just one pill of the Met Forman. It doesn't give me enough blood 
> sugar control. Plus, I just don't want the medication in general, if it's 
> going to have these sorts of a fix.
> I also take,Victoza in the morning, I have been for about a year or two 
> now. This works quite well for me. At first I took it at night. But I 
> found out by accident when I was in the hospital one week, that it works 
> better for me in the morning. But it can't do all the work by itself. I go 
> to see my doctor again, this coming Tuesday, even though I was in there 
> about three weeks ago. I want to discuss what other medications we can 
> try. I'm not on insulin. I am grateful for this. So do you all have any 
> ideas as to what might help me? Or as to what types of options I may have?
> My boyfriend takes a medication, but I don't know how to spell it. He only 
> has to take it once a day. I just want something that will treat my 
> stomach well, that won't hopefully make me gain weight, and there will 
> most importantly help control my blood sugar. Any ideas, or dots, it would 
> be very much appreciated.
