I am a diabetic and am on prandin, will I
be able to lose weight?
Prandin is also known as repaglinide and is
used to treat type 2 diabetes. Unlike metformin, it does not cause weight loss.
Side effects of prandin include headache, joint pain and diarrhea. Prandin is
also VERY expensive. If you want to lose weight and are a diabetic, ask our
doctor for metformin. The drug is cheaper and also induces weight loss.
Personally speaking, prandin is a rip off and no better than metformin.
Many doctors have a terrible habit of starting patients on the latest drugs available. Newer is not always better for the patient.
In surgery, if a surgeon constantly is changing his/her tools or trying out new techniques-this usually indicates a bad surgeon.
