Seems no one takes it, best see the Doc and see why its so unpopular.

I am a mid-eighties male with type two Diabetes and a few other minor medical problems taking daily injections of Lyxumia 20 mg and who had experienced diarrhoea as a result of taking Metformin. My doctor stopped the Metformin and put me onto a once a week injection of Ozempic I had stopped...

I have to start Ozempic injections today Thursday and would have preffered injecting on a Monday. Would it cause problems if I missed a day for the next three weeks?

I did not want to miss the injection so I made the assumption that I should implement the injection and then force myself to eat some Rice Pudding and Icecream.

BrianMMember Type of Diabetes: Type 2 I went out to eat taking my Lyxumia pen as I always ask the waiter/waitress how long the meal will be so that I don't inject and then find that I have reached the hour within which one is supposed to eat. I had not checked and found that the pen had run...

The above was a few days ago but I'm in trouble again. I took my injection this evening, waited the appropriate time and had my main meal of the day at about 18.30 then at about 22.00 I started to feel a troubled tummy which is a sign I'm going into a hypo so I did a blood test and it read 4.1...

I fear that my comments on this post have developed the mark of a disgruntled hypochondriac obsessed with the minute details of his medical conditions and I apologise if that is how I appear. My interest in this matter is based on the simple wish to understand the physiology of what is...

Amlodipine 5mg once a day Gliclazide 80 mg Two tablets twice a day Lisinopril 20 mg one a day Lyxumia 20 mg by injection once a day Metformin 500 mg twice a day Sitagliptin 100 mg one a day Warfarin 5 mg once a day Bisoprolol 2.5 mg once a day Simvastatin 20mg once a day Plus 20mg...

I have no idea but it seemed a good idea at the time and it worked. Having said that this drug often makes me feel so wretched that I fel like dumping it and taking the result. How on earth can such a drug be released?

I thought that my new regime Lyxumia would have sorted itself out by now but its become even more difficult and I’m not sure what to do to get into a reasonable reaction from it. Yesterday after a normal light lunch od soup at midday I took my injection at the normal time of 17.30 and waited...

I thought that as I was around 7.0 when I did my sugar test I was all right but obviously not so I have been started on injecting Lyxumia. I have no problem with injecting because a few years ago I took part in a test for something like the Lyxumia that I have now been put on and found the...

The patient has type 2 Diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and atrial fibrillation and takes the following medication. They have stated that they intend to stop taking all medication. What will be the effect and over what time period? Metformin 500mg 2 tablets twice a day...

I am close to 80 years of age and have been Type 2 diabetic for over five years. For some time now I find that I have to go to the toilet at least three times during the night and they are not just small amounts that I pass. Could anyone tell me what is happening?

I have let things slip lately and would like to read something that will help me what I should eat and how much of it. Can anyone suggest some good titles?

The nurse that normally takes my blood test is superb, doesn’t hurt me and leaves only a small bruise. However, the last blood test I had was taken by a different nurse and it was quite painful and left a large bruise. I had to have a blood test a day ago and noted that it was the nurse who...
