I am a Type 11 diabetic and my doctor put me on this because my Tri. was starting to go up. I beged him not to as I have not herd good things about this. I told him with my diabetic diet and exersice I wanted to be retested in a few months. The side effects are not worth the pain and inactivity.

After reading all the bad pub for Tricor on here, I figured I would tell the good side of the story. I've been on Tricor for over a year and my Triglycerides have gone from over 1000 to under 130. I have had ZERO side effects and couldn't be happier with the drug.
