Advandia and Avandamet Warning

The FDA is alerting doctors about reports of diabetic eye complications for those taking Advandia and Avandamet.
The complication results from fragile and leaking blood vessels in the eye and can lead to blurry vision. If you, or anyone you know is taking either or these drugs and experiences blurred vision, decreased color sensitivity or a change in the ability to see in the dark you should immediately contact your doctor.

Most patients who experienced this complication also reported swelling in their legs and feet. In some of the cases the complication improved or stopped when patients stopped taking the drug.

It is important for anyone diagnosed with diabetes or pre-diabetes to make a serious commitment to lifestyle changes that can eliminate the need for these drugs. These changes include:

1. A change in eating habits to a healthy diet
2. Increased exercise at least 3 times per week
3. the Blood Sugar Pack™™

Following these guidelines will result in a dramatically better quality of life - without the side effects of pharmaceutical drugs.
