What Medication To Take For Diabetes And Skin Rashes?
i have diabetes type 2 for about 7 years now, they gave me metformin, lisiniprol and lipitor. since then i break out in body rashes, swelling of knee and fingers joints. my doctor dismissed it as laundry detergent, the dermatologist took me off lisinprol and changed it so something else and i'm still breaking out. i take allegra twice a day for it.

my dear Friend
I believe the problem is with metformin especially if it is the brand glucophage / carbiphage / cetapin XR
i have nothing agaist these brands but it is the bcos these r the best brands so more pure
stop metformin immediately and take plenty of water for 5 - 7 days and u will feel better
I have around 6-7 patients in the last 6 months with similar problem
take care
