Bernard Littlejohn, Hamilton:

I am 76 years old and since I was thirty or something I have been suffering from type 2 diabetes. This disease creates a lot of problem for the person at any age, but when you are old any disorder is more difficult to survive than when you're young. So probably for elderly people there are less medications that turn out to be really effective. But with Starlix everything is on the contrary very good for people like me. This med is really a life saver. I have been on Starlix for over five years now. And this medication is the best diabetes treatment I have ever seen. During long years of fighting the disease I have tried out many different meds, but the majority was not suitable for me due to some reasons. Most frequently those were side effects from the meds. And the older I get the more side effects I develop from medications I try. With many of the drugs I have experienced shortness of breath, swelling of feet and ankles, weight gain, fatigue and anemia. But with Starlix there are no side effects and my diabetes is much easier now to cope with. I am absolutely satisfied with the way this drug works for me.

Mark Harmsworth, Edmonton:

I am thirty six years of age and not so long ago I was diagnosed with diabetes. However I was lucky to quickly find the ideal medication for myself. My doctor started me on Starlix when I was diagnosed 3 years ago. Well, actually not immediately, but after several attempts with other diabetes drugs, but they turned out to be ineffective in my case. So I started taking Starlix and since that time I have so much more freedom that I didn't even expected it. I lead an active way of life, go in for sports and love walking tours in the mountains. And with all this activity I was experiencing low sugar levels quite frequently. So after I started on Starlix my doctor decided to reduce my dosage a little bit. And since that time Starlix is absolutely 100% perfect for me. it is so much easier now to control my life and monitor my health condition. I have not experienced any side effects that I have had with other meds, like fatigue, drowsiness or insomnia. I think this is due to the fact that we have found the ideal dosage for me, and due to my regular exercises. I am very satisfied with Starlix.

Emilia H., ND:

I am 45 and I suffer from diabetes for more than 15 years. I had a lot of problems with my health due to this disease; I gained a lot of weight (I weighed 230 lbs in 2011 and was gaining quickly) and suffered a lot from different side effects that the meds I used to treat diabetes caused to me. However not so long ago I was put on Starlix and this medication changed my life. I started with Starlix in March 2012 and used until October 2013. Since that time I lost approximately 55 lbs. besides with this drug it is so easy for me to keep my sugar levels under complete control (and this is the main function of the medication) and I have no side effects unlike with other drugs. Starlix is the best thing that has happened to me. I would recommend it to other diabetes sufferers - it is very convenient and effective.

David Stevens, Yellowknife :

I suffer from non-insulin dependent diabetes for about ten years now. During two latest years I take Starlix regularly to cope with my health problems and this medication makes me happy. Starlix is one of the most effective meds aimed at dealing with diabetes that I have tried, and believe me I've tried many. The idea is that you take Starlix before you have your meal and it prepares your body to better manage the food intake and cope with glucose spikes. The mechanism is simple and effective - ultimate results and no other problems. Yes, Starlix is the only medication of that kind not to cause side effects, from all that I have tried. Before I switched to it I've been on other meds and they were either ineffective or caused side effects like fatigue and dizziness. Besides with Starlix I managed to cope with the extra weight I had. I hated my reflection in the mirror but no other drug helped me, I gained more and more weight. But Starlix solved the problem. Now my weight is almost ideal for my height and I hope this is not the limit. But the best thing of course is Starlix performance in diabetes management. The best drug in my opinion.

Marcy Johns, Miami:

I started on Starlix two years ago, have been on another diabetes medication by that time, which however didn't answer my needs completely and caused drowsiness I couldn't cope with. I had to take that medication once a day but after the dose I felt kind of dizzy and was not sure about my driving ability, so I had to ask my colleague to give me occasional rides to work. With Starlix things are different - I have to take a capsule each time before I eat, it's quite often and sometimes difficult to remember. But Starlix works great - I have no such side effects and the results I managed to achieve when on Starlix are better. I stopped gaining weight and now my weight decreased - it went from 160 lbs to 120. I plan to lose more as I plan to continue using Starlix. But what is the main part - Satrlix helps me control my glucose levels as nothing else. With this medication my diabetes looks not that horrible as before. I learnt to manage Ion time and I feel much better. And I want to say thanx for the convenience of internet shopping for meds. This online drugstore made my life much easier as I do not have to constantly pop up into local drugstores for meds, I simply order all I need online and have it delivered to my place - what can be easier!

Richard T., Prince George:

I have been suffering from diabetes type 2 for fourteen years. Now I am 29, so I was diagnosed at the age of 15. At that time it was not that shocking and all the problems seemed to be not that dramatic. Now I understand that I was too optimistic. I have to regularly take medications to stay alive, can't eat the food I like, I have 60 lbs of extra weight and my family is worried about my life. Not a pleasant description of my life but that is how it is. Last year my doctor switched me to Starlix and things started to change. In fact now I have to take meds even more frequently as Startlix should be taken prior to every meal. It causes the body to produce insulin earlier and therefore to cope with the glucose spike. As for other changes - I started losing weight, jokes aside! And I feel myself a healthier person. This is an awesome sensation, I have to admit. I have been on other meds, some were completely useless, with others the results were good but there was always something wrong. Starlix is perfect and I do hope it keeps being perfect for me as long as possible!
