confused on meds/ Lantis and avandia. Have lost sight in one eye due to swelling and macular edema.?

Avandia causes macular edema, swelling of eyes. If not taken will bottom out in diabeic coma. Is there no other med to replace advandia? Also take lantis by shot 30 mg pm.

I don’t know they’ve found the mechanism by which avandia gives macular degeneration. Lantus is a long acting insulin to kind of force your cells to uptake glucose properly. You have type II diabetes but you could easily be treated on insulin only regime or insulin + tablets or just tablets. Probably they’ve discontinued use of avandia because of your eye worries and put you on actrapid/novarapid three times daily plus lantus. This is the closest you can get to the natural regulation of blood sugars.
