Re: starlix

-
I was switched from regular glucophage to glucophage XR in October. I
was finding the pills exiting my body it seemed undigested. Therefore
I assumed not doing their job. I questioned my doctor and he said
seemed to question my sanity. My sugars were under good control until
he switched me to XR. I have been checking my sugars two hours after
meals and the starlix seems to keep the spike lower. Thanks for all
the info I have gotten.
