I've been injecting every day for a month with Lyxymia, 10mg for two weeks and then 20mg. Thing is, it's driving me crackers! My blood sugar level seems to be up and down and all over the place. I've had more hypos and hypers than I could shake a Lyxumia pen at. I thought this thing was supposed to level my blood sugar out, but it seems to be doing the opposite.
I've cut way back on carbs, as I promised the nurse. But if I cut them right out, as I did at first, I find that my sugar level crashes. I feel nauseous about an hour after dinner (I inject before dinner) and it goes on all evening until I just want to cry. Some evenings I check my blood sugar level and it's low, other times it's high. It doesn't matter what I eat or don't eat, it goes up and down.
The nurse told me that she'd be calling me in for a blood test and chuck-up in a couple of months, and if I don't feel any better, I'll tell her I want to stop it completely. I can't take metformin because I get breathless (I was taking slow release).
Does anyone know if it will get better, or is this just something I have to put up with?
Thanks!
