Hiya folks ... My first visit here as a type 2 diagnosed Jan 2000 but was classed as a pre-diabetic for many years prior to changing GP practice.
I am retired and very restricted as far as exercise is concerned due to arthritis and summat they tell me is myofascial problems/pain. I have just started on Victoza as my long range BG tests have been slowly climbing over that past 3yrs and have now reached 7.9 what ever that means. I do have a next to useless diabetes nurse who is almost impossible to see without making an appointment that will be at least 5wks ahead due to her huge list of other duties. Soooo..I was wondering if anyone else is on these injections and if they have experienced much success... below is my list of daily meds
Victoza 0.6 rising to 1.2 in two days time
Metformin SR 500mg x 3
Actos 30mg x 1
Sotalol 40mg x 6
Canedsartan 32mg x 1
Amlodipine 5mg x 1
Lansoprazole 15mg x 2
Aspirin 75mg x 2
Dihydrocodiene 30mg .. up to 8 a day as and when needed
Carbocistine 375mg x 4
Crestor 10mg x 1
Telfast 120mg x 1
Rapitil eye drops
Dermovate ointment
Plus Ventolin and a steriod inhaler with nebules + nebulisiation when my breathing gets too bad
I have not noticed any side effects yet from the Victoza other than feeling tired most of the time (often falling asleep in my chair), but neither have I seen my prick tests alter, so I was wondering how long it will take before I see any change?
PS.. I really really struggle with anything in font size smaller than this
