I find my readings go well over 200, enen into the 300 range; I guess depending on the type of meal. I get very listless and have arm pain when I attempt to lift them. Also. the neuropothy seems to have if anyting increased as my hands and feet feel a "tingling" sensation associated with PND Published: February 10, 2008 ::
This Prandin makes me sick to my stomach Please comment. I AM ALSO VERY GASSY FROM IT. is this part of PRANDIN'S NEGASTIVE REATION? Published: March 02, 2008 ::
I have a lot of Gas and more tingling in my feet, calves and hands, although my sugar readings have been much better..I've only been on this med for 2 weeks.. Published: July 06, 2008 ::
Since taking this drug I have developed a bad cough and sinus problems. Published: March 26, 2008 ::
My doctor has me take different strengths of Prandin depending on my meal size. Used to be on Starlix-it wasn't helping my sugars at all but Prandin seems to be keeping me under control very well. Published: August 27, 2008 ::
After having a stroke lost a great deal of weight and endocrinologist prescribed this and I got off insulin. Took Prandin for six months then lost more weight and stopped. Two years later put back on 20lbs and started taking Prandin again it helped me get A1C down to 6.3 from 7.0. Love the ease of taking before meals but sugars tend to fluctuate greatly from low 60's to over 200 depending time of day and amount of activity. I have noticed onset of neuropathy type symptoms and recently strong pains in my arms since restarted Prandin use. Went to cardiologist regarding arm pain though heart is still pretty healthy found it interesting that someone else noted the leg and arm pains... I had a great deal of leg muscle difficulty which I attributed to Crestor but now am wondering if it could be the Prandin? Have been diabetic 18 years and have good eye sight and good kidney health so I will continue Prandin as long as the Dr. says. Easier to travel with than insulin though that worked well while i needed it too. Published: November 20, 2008 ::

medicine has allowed me to lower my high glucose ceilings ,which I could not before. Very effective. Published: July 02, 2009 ::
Have taken Prandin for the last three months with each meal and it has been very effective in reducing blood sugar to below 100. However, it makes me a little jittery that I am slowly tolerating. I have reduced Prandin intake to just breakfast (my biggest meal) and that seems to be the best compromise. Published: June 25, 2009 ::
