Hi All, I have been taking starlix and insulin (lantus) for the last five days. On days 1 and two I felt sick to my abdomen and a minor groggy on waking up. Then day three and four I felt excellent. Last evening I desired to see how well starlix worked its carbs against 2 slices of sausage pizza with further cheese. Well very first off I got so filled up on two slices that I immediately had to lie down. I felt as even though my sugar was shooting through the roof. I checked my glucose two hrs after and it was 246. Anyway the side effects I had tonight have been much less then pleasant and I believed I may well finish up in the ER. Nausea, light headed, palpitations. I do really feel considerably much better when I have a light meal on starlix rather then filling up to the gill.
I was so messed up I was really weak and exhausted and could barley get off the bed.
Anyway, do these symptoms ever go away. I dont feel I can take the nausea a lot lengthier? also does that metalic taste ever go away. I never like that taste in my mouth all day.
Thanks, Joe

I contact it “Carb Shock” been on starlix for 4 many years and if I have way also several negative carbs (bread, pizza) I go thru the identical issue, so I had to modify how I eat. And with carb shock also comes the diareah (my entire body rejecting these poor carbs). They finally place me on Starlix with Avandamet and I have a far better partnership with carbs then I did with Starlix and insulin. The final Dr I saw says not to combine starlix with insulin treatment due to the fact a single is hormone and starlix makes you generate your very own insulin producing for far more ups and downs with your sugars and obtain much more weight.

In clinical trials, around 2400 clients with Kind 2 diabetes have been handled with Starlix® (nateglinide). Of these, about 1200 individuals have been handled for six months or lengthier and about 190 clients for one particular year or lengthier.
Hypoglycemia was comparatively unusual in all remedy arms of the clinical trials. Only .three% of Starlix clients discontinued due to hypoglycemia. Gastrointestinal signs and symptoms, specifically diarrhea and nausea, have been no more prevalent in individuals employing the mixture of Starlix and metformin than in sufferers obtaining metformin alone. The following table lists events that occurred much more usually in Starlix patients than placebo patients in controlled clinical trials
