I had gained weight on Avandia but it kept my sugar levels under 100. March 2008 I was admitted to the hospital with congestive heart failure and taken off Avandia. I can't take other diabetes meds because I had kidney cancer in 2000 and had my left kidney removed. My creatinine level has been as high as 1.8 but currently is 1.5. Can I take Actos? My sugar levels have been very high since I stopped Avandia. So I am obviously frustrated. If I can't take Actos is there another medication I can take? Thank you.
Q: I was taken off Avandia a year ago. Can I now take Actos?
