What diabetes meds are good alternatives to actos (pioglitazone)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That's complicated: There are many possible alternatives. Which one is chosen depends on many factors including how long one has had diabetes, how well it is currently controlled, concerns about weight gain, concerns about hypoglycemia, other medical problems. Time for a converation with your doctor.
