For Type 2 Diabetes "I have been on this medicine for almost a year. It really does bring your diabetes under control. My A1C has remained a 6 since being on this medication. The downside is I have issues with being too low. While taking this medicine, I experience low numbers at night. So I have to wake up through the night to drink something to maintain good glucose numbers. I have also experienced other side effects such as yeast infections, low numbers, weakness, dizziness, and joint pain. This is a great medicine for keeping your numbers under control, but this medicine seems to be too powerful for me. I have found myself cutting back to a couple times a week taking this medication. Besides the side effects, great medicine!!!"

For Type 2 Diabetes "This medication probably works wonders for some, and it did for me at first. However, I experienced the absolute worst yeast infections, to the point I went to the E.R. I stopped taking this medication and will be talking to my MD about something else."

For Type 2 Diabetes "This drug, Glyxambi, has made me lose lots of weight. I have had multiple yeast infections that were the worst ever. It started out okay, but now has caused me health problems. I have been dizzy and falling, with injuries hurting myself. Had to go to the ER, and the doctor says something is going bad with my brain. I will not take another one of these pills again. Glyxambi has put me out of work, and I can't drive. They are the worst pills anyone can take. I don't recommend these. Your life is at risk."
