For Type 2 Diabetes "40-year-old female. After being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, I made some serious changes. Before starting the Metformin, I fasted for 5 days, which helped reduce my glucose tremendously. After, I followed/continued with exercise and watching what I ate, I saw some amazing results. After about 1 month of being on Metformin, my A1C went from 14 to 9. My doctor reduced the Metformin dosage and started me on the combination pill Synjardy. After about 2 more months, my A1C dropped to 6.5. So far, it has worked great, and I have maintained below a 7.0 A1C now for approximately a year. I have also lost weight with the medication. I had no negative side effects for the past year until now. For the past few months, I’ve continued to get yeast infections. It gets treated, and it comes back every month after my menstrual cycle. I am making the decision to stop taking Synjardy and start another medication. Loved it before this uncontrollable side effect."

For Type 2 Diabetes "After one month, this medicine, Synjardy, brought my A1C down from 8.3 to 7.1. My glucose from 288 to 116. The only problem is that it is giving me a vaginal yeast infection, and it is severe. It goes away a week with meds and comes right back, so I will have to stop. Also, a little nausea. I was getting good results."

For Type 2 Diabetes "This medication has really controlled my blood sugar dramatically compared to Metformin alone. My HbA1c levels are at 6.8 currently. I have had a few yeast infections over the couple of years that I've been on Synjardy. But miconazole ovules seem to take care of it. Much happier being on Synjardy compared to before."
