that people who take it have an increased risk of cardiac issues? I have been taking a 4 mg dosage, once a day, for almost 4 yrs. My internist wants me to stay on it, saying that the benefits outweight the risks. Several co workers have been taken off this med (different doctors). I am concerned because I have been very overweight in the past (still am, but less so) and have a strong family history of heart disease. Any comments or personal experiences would be appreciated.

Quite a few people are scrambling for alternatives. I was never on it and don't intend to ever get on it. My methods of using Metformin, diet, exercise, weight control, and supplements seem to be working fine: http://www.geocities.com/seabulls69/Type_II_Diabetes.html
