[QUOTE="luceeloo, post: 1239760, member: 78468"] Sorry, [USER=45533]@Lenny3[/USER] I didn't see this thread. I'm on Lyxumia and have been for about 18 months or so now. The first six weeks or so are probably the worst, but if you can battle through it, then the side effects eventually become very minimal. I had awful nausea when I went on to the purple pen. At this point I was offered the green pen for another two weeks, but I decided just to go for the full dose and deal with the side effects. Eventually they did disappear. I learned a few tricks along the way... always eat within the hour that you take it, and as close to the first fifteen minutes as possible. If you forget your dose, take it at lunchtime, but don't take it at teatime as it will get too close to your next day's dose and then your side effects will increase for the following day. I honestly have nothing bad to say about Lyxumia. It hasn't brought my blood sugar down to perfect levels, but it has definitely helped. I think I expected to lose a lot more weight than I have - it was really pushed on to me as a weight loss drug, but I'm happier with the blood sugar benefits. [/QUOTE]
