What Causes Edema In The Hands And Feet While On Prandin?

I am an 80 year old female and have been diabetic for two years. I was recently put on Prandin (about 60 days ago). My feet are swelling more than usual and have urgency to urinate but not much output as in the past. My hands have been swelling also. Weight is going up. Is this serious?

Hi

See that weight gain is side effect of Prandin but you should be assessed for BP and kidney and heart function. So go for chest X-ray.
Blood urea and serum creatinine .
If you have any further query then you can come back to HCM, I will definitely help you and guide you appropriately.

With Regards
