You could check the website at www.actos.com and write to them.

When you get tingling, do you measure your sugar level? If your
normal level 3 hours after food is 110, then a level of 80 will make
you feel very weird- you will get all kinds of symptoms - it is just
due to your body not being used to the level of 80. You will
gradually become used to it. But dont become used to a level of 70 or
60- that is bad for you.
