Suggest An Alternative Of Metformin That Can Be Taken While On Glimepiride
Hi, I have type 2 Diabetis. I take one Glimiperide 4mg once a day. My blood sugar is not staying at the level I would like it to be. I am allergic to Metformin (could not breathe when I took it) and I am leery of the other drugs. I took Farxiga and broke out in a whole body rash with itching when taking that drug. When stopped, it took a week for the rash to go away. What drug would you recommend taking along with my Glimiperide?
