XIGDUO XR

New to the T2 world and frustrated at how information is spread out in the online world so I came to a forum. Far too many online searches result in an advertisement or very general information.

Recently diagnosed with Type2 and my doctor prescribed XIGDUO XR 5-500mg. My AIC was an 11. After 3 months of the XIGDUO XR it was a 6.8. Hopefully, the next 3 months bring it down farther. I was wondering if anyone else is on this medication for their T2 and what their experiences have been.

First week I had an upset stomach but that was really it. It changed my how my poop was/is but I've not had much in the area of side affects. I do realize that my dosage is a minimal one.
