Diabetes Type 2 Support Group
Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...
I take metformin to control my diabetes.My last blood work showed high trigs 225 and cholesterol. She put me on welchol.I see there is a moderate interaction with the two drugs but very beneficial in helping A1c and cholesterol.
Has anyone taken these two meds?
If so what have u experienced.
Right now it makes me drowsy.
I am actively in the gym so I really dont want extra medsinstead of trying to reduce my trigs with a better diet

In addition to diet and exercise, Welchol is the first and only FDA-approved medicine with a single active ingredient proven to lower both blood sugar (A1C) and "bad" cholesterol in adults with type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol.
My last cholesterol was great, I get tested again in 2 weeks, I know it will be great again so I will tell him..LOL
I had rather sleep than wake up in the middle of the night walking the floor with cramps. I refuse to take any Statin.
