    Popcorn

    In my quest to find something reasonably healthy to snack on instead crisps I tried popcorn. Unfortunately the only pack that was left was sweet (I would usually avoid this) but I bought it and prepared it at home. I ate the lot!

    Hi I have now been injecting 0.6 mg of Liraglutide (victoza) for four days. My blood sugar level in the mid afternoon has just hit 4.8-this is the first time I have ever been so low. Is this a healthy reading?

    VICTOZA users

    Re: VICTOZA Now on third day with Victoza. I am only on the smallest dose (0.6) and using it with metformin. BG is around 5.6-7.3 most of the day and my most recent HBA1c was 6.7. This was quite a rise hence my Doctors desicion to put me on Victoza. No side effects at all. I am eating more...

    Shannon welcome to the forum! :D I had real issues telling my mother-she is also a practice nurse (though not in the Cotswolds). They worry a lot anyway and I dealt with it by not discussing it until I had accepted the condition first. Now I have a superbly supportive mum who is able to give...

    Hope all is still well Griffy! :D As Sue says, not everyone gets the side effects anyway so you may be ok. I suddenly noticed how long your introduction is Griffy-how many posts on this thread? You are indeed popular! 8)

    Diagnosed today in the Cotswolds

    When I first went onto metformin I suffered from an upset stomach. It continued for a while so the Doctor put me on slow release metformin which did the job! Picked up my first injector pen today which was strange. I cannot use it yet though as the Doc forgot to prescribe the needles! :lol...
