Looking at the cost of about £78.50 per month and only 1 injection and probably 2-3 test strips per day I think it would be more economical than two types of insulin, 4-5 needles per day and 8-10 test strips per day.

Unfortunately my Dr is away at the moment but I intend to see him asap to discuss the possibility of using...

I've not posted on here in a while!

I saw my endocrinologist a few weeks ago after my initial appointment where my bloods were terrible, second appointment after low carb and looking after myself a lot better- I'd lost weight and massively dropped my blood sugars!

She recommended putting me on lixisenatide, I started last week and I was just wondering if anyone else has been put on it? I've been told it helps you lose weight as long as you put the work into it as well?

I'm...

How Long Before Sugars Come Down On Victoza]]> 1 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 12:11:06 +0000 http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/victoza.107522/ http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/victoza.107522/ invalid@example.com (Dogbutler) Dogbutler
Anyway, I was wondering if any of you guys were prescribed victoza whilst taking meds for gastric reflux?

I'm still taking 2g of metformin and 320mgs gliclazide daily, but my bg is still way too high so the victoza has been added today. Reading through the leaflet, I saw that reflux can be a side effect.

Would really be grateful for some advice.

Thanks

Is anyone who is currently being prescribed this particular med found they have had any kind of significant weight loss? If so, is it due to reduced appetite? I know it is now licensed as a weight loss medication, as well as for diabetes.
