GLIMEPIRIDE vs PIOGLITAZONE

I am a type 2 diabetic. Last July, right before I started keto my doc was rumbling about me "graduating" to insulin. He had added glimepiride and Januvia, and my A1C had still crept north of 7.

I had some pain in my bladder before Christmas and went to an Urgent Care place. I had been drinking half a gallon of water a day for two months and the doctor thought that maybe it was the increase in drinking that was making my bladder hurt, since my "urine had no sugar and no ketones" in it.

Hey folks, I’m on day 4 of doing a Keto Chow–only diet (just the shakes, around 1650 cals/day), and even though I’ve been super low carb, I’m still waking up with really high blood sugar.

I'm already down to 6.0. A 3.5% drop. Like I'm right at the cusp of being at the finish line (I know it's not the end, and that I have to stay there) of getting out of the "Complication Range" Went from a dangerous level down to the middle of Pre-diabetic in only 3 months.

On January 19 I was tested by my doctor and confirmed I was t2 diabetic with an a1c of 10.4. I just got my lab results from the blood test on April 21, that my a1c is now 5.3!!!!!!!
