  • Diabetes is destructive enough on its own, but if you try to control it with rosiglitazone, better known as Avandia, it could cause a heart attack. A study found that people who took rosiglitazone for at least a year increased their risk of heart failure or a heart attack by 109 percent and 42 percent, respectively.

  • Great discussion on how avandia works in the management of type 2 diabetes. This narrative is entertaining, informative, and enlightening.

  • Drugs can be dangerous! Try this. After 3 weeks of taking GlyPerfect, I noted a dramatic drop in blood sugar level. I had readings 150 to 165 prior to taking GlyPerfect , and some as high as 300+ml/dl. improvement after the third week. For the first time in over 10 years my fasting blood sugar levels are within "Normal" range. This morning I was at 105---WOW! My medications, diet and exercise did not quite control my blood sugar. Now it appears handled.

  • thank you for you info, I take avandamet . and have been complaining of pain in my chest . the doctor scheduled a stress test for thursday the 13th of dec. ill let you know the test results.
