Avandia, a Drug Used to Treat Type 2 Diabetes, Has Been
Linked to Heart Failure, Other Serious Health Problems

Patients taking the Type 2 diabetes drug Avandia are 43
percent more likely to suffer a heart attack and 64 percent more likely
to die from a cardiovascular disease, according to medical research
published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Concerns about adverse
side effects caused by Avandia (rosiglitazone) prompted the Food and
Drug Administration in May 2007 to warn users and physicians about the
risks associated with the drug.

The FDA ordered Avandia’s packaging to carry a prominent
Black Box ? warning, the strongest such safety advisory the agency can
order, about the risks of heart attack and cardiovascular complications
linked to the drug. Since the drug was approved in 1992, Avandia has
become the most popular Type 2 diabetes drug in the world, taken by more
10 million Americans with the blood-sugar disease.

Possible Avandia Related Injuries

Liver failure and liver damage
Fluid in the lungs (Pulmonary edema)
Swelling of the eye (Macular edema)
Swollen legs or ankles
Rapid, unexplained weight gain
Tiredness
Low blood pressure
Changes in vision
Shortness of breath
Difficulty breathing
Chest pains
Dizziness

Avandia Linked To Heart Failure!

Heart failure, a condition in which the heart can no longer
effectively circulate blood through the body, is the most serious
injury associated with the use of Avandia. Heart failure often leads to
deadly heart attacks, strokes, and other life-threatening injuries.

The BBC’s
report on how parents should be more
worried about childhood inactivity than murder (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/education/10120160.stm) (and while I
understand the comparison, I’d love to see the source of their 1 in 3
kids who are inactive will develop serious health problems as a
consequence statistic).

Sugar peak after meal is a problem that puts the diabetics at risk.
Really the worry is not on the expanding waist lines. Instead people
with diabetes should pay attention to the danger of a neglected post
meal peak in blood glucose. In fact the University of Warwick’s Medical
School says that this post meal peak does more harm than even a
persistent rise in blood glucose.

The main focus of treatment for
the diabetics has been to lower the blood glucose level with emphasis on
fasting plasma glucose. Thank goodness that now most diabetics are
highly proficient at maintaining the best blood sugar levels. This is
dampened though by the recent suggestion that it is not enough to
maintain optimized control.

The Guideline for Management of
Postmeal Glucose report was carried out by an international panel of
diabetes specialists for the International Diabetes Federation. They
examined the sugar peak after meal and found that lowering the postmeal
plasma glucose is as vital or even more so than obtaining the optimum
HbA1c levels.

People without diabetes have sugar levels that
seldom go higher than 7.8 mmol/l after a heavy holiday meal and these
usually go back to normal reading two to three hours after food
consumption. It is therefore the opinion of the experts that the
diabetics should not have their blood glucose rise above the 7.8 mmo/l
after meals.

Naturally they were concerned that this is not the
case. They found as many as 71% had a mean, two hour after meal, plasma…
