Thansk for your response, Does Actos make you gain weight? My sugar too is under control, it is about 82, but I also take cinnamon pills, and the alpha lipoic acid, about two months when I was diagnosed with diabetes, it was 169 fasting. I really need to loose the weight, I'm 5'5" and weight 210, I need to loose at least 30 pounds, My doctor put me on Glipizide but it was making me sick. Let me know how you do on Actos. Thanks

I do not know if the Actos made me gain weight but SOMETHING did. I was at 240 when I started Actos in March of 2005. Because I was diagnosed with diabetes, I went on a major diet, the Medifast plan. I got down to 219 very rapidly. After off and on for a month, I couldn't stay on Medifast. Within a year I was at 260. So I gained my 20 pounds and then 20 more. I am on a lot of other meds too. I am now down to 252 after less than a week on Phen.
