Is it safe to use pioglitazone, metformin and glimipride together for managing blood sugar levels? ## Yes, they can be used together, though certain things do need to be monitored, so using all 3 is usually only done, when someone is having trouble lowering their blood sugar by any other method. But taking all 3 together does create the risk of experiencing severely low blood sugar, plus taking the Metformin with the Pioglitazone could cause fluid retention, weight gain and edema.

Is it safe to take Nesina with Glimepiride, Pioglitazone, and Metformin? ## As long as your doctor has prescribed them all to be taken together. It is sometimes necessary for someone to take multiple oral diabetes medications to get their blood sugar under control. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Nesina as possibly including anxiety, nausea, dizziness, blurred vision, hypoglycemia and headache. It may also increase the effects of the Glimepiride, so please watch for low blood sugar levels.

IF MY BLOOD SUGAR LABEL IS UNDER CONTROL,THEN SHOULD I TAKE TRIGLYNASE-2? ## You should follow your doctor's instructions. Have they told you to continue taking it? Tri Glynase contains Metformin and Pioglitazone, both of which are oral antidiabetic medications, but the relevant issues is that this medication may just be maintaining your blood sugar at normal levels. It may start to go up, again, if you stop taking it. There is no cure for diabetes.
