Fran, my current diabetes educator (a super-sharp gal who works for Dr.
Friedman, the editor of Forecast magazine) certainly had a negative
reaction when I told her of a previous recommendation to take both. Also,
Arturo definitely recommended against either one ... why impair your small

I will NOT give you Precose because that will aggravate your
malabsorption. You are taking already some chances taking Glucophage.
