I have been on Actos for 2 months at the cost of $154.oo for 30 pills.
My blood sugar numbers have improved! I am a type 2 using insulin for about 10 years. Problem - I got a $50.00 coupon from my Doctor, which the drug company would not honor. Sneaky way to get doctors to push your medication, huh! The reason for not honoring the coupon: "We were unable to verify that you submission meets the terms and conditions of this offer. You may submit additional supporting information to confirm the validy of your claim" They did not say what the "additional supporting information" was amd I had followed all the instructions on the coupon! Anyone out there have the same experience?

I notice your comments are dated in 2003. Where do you have your rx filled? I am paying $353 for 30 pills at the local Wal-Mart, the best prices for most prescriptions. I have been on Actos for 2 years along with Glucovance. My readings dropped so low I was afraid to sleep at night. I also experienced weight gain. In fact, I gained 20 pounds in 2 weeks. My feet and hands swell and I have to take some sort of fluid pill to bring them down. About 3 months ago, I asked the doctor to change my medications because of the low readings (once as low as 34). I was experiencing near blindness and extreme weakness. Once the Glucovance was changed to Glucophage, the readings stabilized and I have lost 20 pounds. I don't have to carry any sort of snack around and am doing very well. Sometimes a small adjustment of combined medications will work. Good luck. I still have some water retention if I do foolish things like eat salty snacks, and I do love salty nuts.
