5 | Type 2 for aggressive BS Control | No side effects what so ever You must test BS diligently to prevent lows. Overall, very safe on a LCHP diet and you are willing to test BS pre and post each meal. | I highly recommend this drug. It is much safer than all the new Diabetes drugs out there. The generic is very cheap. | F | 54 | 5 months 0.5 mg 4X day | 7/3/2017 | 5 | Diabetes | No side effects whatsoever. Could cause lows if timing is not just right before eating. | I think this is an effective medication for preventing after meal spikes in blood sugar. The most difficult thing about taking it is having to remember to take it at the right time before eating a meal. | F | 57 | 6 years 2mg 3X day | 3/30/2011 | 5 | Type 2 Diabetes | If you take the drug and then only eat a small amount of carbs it can lead to a low BG 2-3 hours later. It works best when used with low glycemic index carbs. I cannot identify any other sides effects of the drug. | It is an excellent drug in my opinion as it allows you to eat whenever you want, and skip meals. It does a great job of lowering BG to 125 or less one hour after eating. | 59 | 7 years | 11/9/2008 | 5 | help eliminate sugar spikes-diabete | M | 62 | 1 years | 10/10/2005 | 1 | Would just like info on this drug for a friend who has M.S. and is experiencing some odd symptoms | | 6/28/2005 |
PRANDIN (REPAGLINIDE): Repaglinide is used alone or with other medications to control high blood sugar along with a proper diet and exercise program. It is used in people with type 2 diabetes. Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs, and sexual function problems. Proper control of diabetes may also lessen your risk of a heart attack or stroke. It works by stimulating the body to produce more insulin. Insulin is a natural substance that allows the body to properly use sugar from the diet. FDA Approval Date: 1997-12-22 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
