As a T2 I became somewhat resistant after a long course of 'hay fever 'desensitising injections and to overcome this I was prescribed pioglitazone tablets which do assist in keeping my HbA1c stable at 6.3%

Most ailments can and usually do cause a rise.

I too am a T2 and have 'suffered' this DP for several years despite a change in meds etc. My DSN told me there is not much that can be done and as it's only a temporary rise and soon under control, not to worry about it. I treat with Glucophage SR + Victoza injections with a HbA1c of 6.3 for the...

In my health area of West Sussex, Victoza is once again obtainable. Last month I received 2 pens on 13th and today I received another 2 pens from my nominated chemist, so persist with your scripts and phone your nominated chemist to see if you can hurry things along. That's what I did and for...

The exact same company make and distribute Victoza (liraglutide) and for some time Victoza has been impossible for my nominated chemist to supply via NHS prescriptions. Within about 2wks of receiving an electronic script from my GP for Victoza, my chemist eventually gets hold of 2 pens from...

That is not unusual. If you go lowish while asleep, it is not uncommon for your liver to dump some glucose to help keep you functioning as you slowly awake. Read the link below https://www.diabetes.co.uk/blood-glucose/dawn-phenomenon.html

Well done! This just goes to show that with some dedication, most things are possible

@a.marsh2973 Yes as advised above, you really do need to discuss this with your DN and rather sharpish too

At last I have received 2 pens of Victoza and I'm happy again. My chemist tried and tried and eventually some arrived, so they are out there for the persistently searching pharmacist

I too was the 1st T2 patient to be put on Victoza to try and my results were amazing with substantial weight loss and excellent blood glucose control. My HbA1c fell from the mid teens to a constant 6.3% and remained at that figure for the past 14+yrs. Now, due to none being available, my weight...

I know that feeling too. I achieved great Hb1Ac figures with 6.3% for over many years since being prescribed Victoza morning injections. The supply suddenly dried up due to none at the wholesalers and all my DN could say was "that's it, there IS no more for the foreseeable future, so you'll...

My advice is to stick with it and try your best to put up with the horrid side effects because they do start to ease off a little after about a month and by the end of the 2nd month you will be through the worst of it, By the end of 3 month you will be functioning almost the same as you did...

Pain

Right, I'll take that as a NO then.
