Is onglyza 5mg a better product to use than glucophage 1000mg for controlling high insulin levels? can onglyza 5mg cause anxiety as a side effect? please advise, thank you

Typical add on: Onglyza or saxagliptin is a typical add on drug, many times added to metformin, diet and exercise in order to control diabetes. Anxiety is not a typical side effect described to it, hypoglycemia or low sugar and/or headaches being among most common side effects. Talk to your treating doc about your symptoms and blood glucose readings.

No. Not even close: Metformin is the most effective insulin sensitized.
