Edema effect of Actos

I have gained about 50 kg in 2 years, got extreme edema in the thighs, which in turn had to be treated with fursosemide. As an effect enhancer to the insulins NovoRapid and Levemir Actos -30 was not to beat! My daily insulin requirement dropped from about 200 I.E. Novorapid to ca.80 / 90 I.U. while the Levemir requirement remains unchanged at 3β I.E. stayed in the morning + evening. HbA1c was lowered from 10.5 to 8.5, which I rate as the success of Actos-30. Whether the strong weight gain on Actos -30 is due, is doubtful, rather I typed lack of exercise (am wheelchair user). Family doctor wants to sell Actos-30 because of the increased heart attack risk.

After 10 days I had to discontinue Actos, bronchitis, onset of sinusitis, nausea, sweating, blurred vision, fatigue, back pain, small edema and Entzuendugen.
