Re: VICTOZA We did have a faulty pen that was changed and all has been ok with this one, we are 3/4 way through it and now Victoza leaks out, its odd

Re: VICTOZA Just checking in again, hubby been on Victoza now for almost 3 months, his last blood results at docs were 5.5 and he has lost 3 stone almost, hes got his appetite back now One problem we are having is that sometimes some Victoza leaks out after injecting, he leaves the needle in...

Re: VICTOZA Hubby is now on week 4 of Victoza and his blood sugars are always below 5 even 2 hours after eating, he has dropped from 4 glicazide a day to just one at night and I am wondering if that one is one too many. A few mornings I have woken up to the bed shaking as he was having a hypo...

Re: VICTOZA I am not a professional at all with diets just someone who has to deal with people after death but from what I can see your diet is almost starvation! Your body is probably thinking you are starving and thats why you arent losing weight, I would eat more if you could. Hubbys...

Re: VICTOZA I'm sorry its not working for you, I guess it won't suit all the people that take it. Hubbys sugars dropped really low so we were told to drop a Glicazide and if they went back up to add it again so I am now playing around with dropping it morning or night, dropped the night one...

Good idea! Less smelly than fish as well

Hubby has to have an abdominal scan on Monday at 7pm tomorrow he cannot have fruit, vegetables, salad, brown bread, breakfast cereals, nuts and crispbread. On the day he has to starve for 6 hours before the scan but with him being diabetic he can eat starch I am stuck what to feed him on...

Re: VICTOZA Hubby started on 1.2 on Tuesday was sick Wednesday all day, felt fine yesterday and is still fine, his bloods are great but he is having to make himself eat as its really taken his appetite. Chris try ginger biscuits

Re: VICTOZA Ah yes ginger I had forgotten about that, will get some cystalised ginger biscuits tomorrow. He was doing so well on 0.6 anyway he sees the diabetic nurse tomorrow

Re: VICTOZA I wonder how long the nausea/sickness lasts, hubby was sick this morning then twice at work, he cant face food so went hypo for the first time ever, luckily I had packed him some lucozade. He has just eaten some soup for tea and thats all. All this hs happened since yesterday when...

Re: VICTOZA I dont think its listed as one of the side effects, I know thyroid problems can cause hair loss or stress, i myself suffer from periods of Alopecia Areata. Would it be woth having your thyroid function tested as sometimes when you lose weight or gain it can have an effect on your...

Re: VICTOZA He has Scolliosis as well so has 3 monthly spinal injections, also highBP I look after him too well, sort all his tablets out etc etc I always say if I wasnt here he wouldnt manage which is a bit scary really as our 16 year old daughter has Downs Syndrome.

Re: VICTOZA He is on Metformin 2 twice a day, Glicazide is now 1 twice a day it used to be 2, Ramipril, Atorvastatin, Ezetibe, Amlovasc, Lansoprazole, Diclofenac and paracetamol.....quite a cocktail and now Victoza

Re: VICTOZA Hubby has gone up to 1.2 today, his bloods were 6.4 this morning and he had his injection at 4pm, ate at 5pm so will take his bloods at 5pm, the way he is going he may hopefully be able to stop taking Glicazide and just take his Metformin

Re: VICTOZA Looks like your going in the right direction as well :D
