Hi.Thanks to all of you who have responded to this thread. I have been
on gluc for about 3 months now so why am I just now having these
problems? I am noticing most of you saying that during the first week is
when people have the side effects or a little after that, but it has
been 3 months. I was also wondering about my other symptoms and i found
out that is is leading to me having hypoglycemia.Is this true to some
that know? Thanks again girls!
