My advice from 2007 still stands today: If you're taking Avandia: you've probably already spoken to your physician about whether to continue it or not. But no matter what, don't precipitously discontinue the drug because of news reports today - be sure that you and your physician agree on an alternate program (Actos or another pill, or starting insulin, or if you've been doing very well, maybe stopping the Avandia and aggressively continuing your meal plan and exercise program).
