In September 2010, the U.S. FDA announced that it would be severely restricting the use of rosiglitazone, due to the risk of "cardiovascular events" such as heart attacks and strokes. Only individuals who cannot control their diabetes on other medications (or those who are already taking the medication and doing well) will be able to take rosiglitazone.
Why did your doc prescribe pills & insulin? What are your blood sugar levels? I should presume that taking insulin alone should be able to regulate your blood sugar levels.
Please seek a second opinion, take care.
Best wishes!

Thanks, I am not a doctor, I use insulin and no pills, usually when insulin is used pills are not prescribed, specially Metformin as this is very basic diabetes medication. I was intially using Metformin but since the last 5 years I inject 20 IU of Insulin mixtard 30/70.
I suggest you try & seek medical advice, please.
