Re: VICTOZA
Hi.thank YOU for your reply! started to think EVERYONE gone xmas shopping n not around to give me any advice. Am tiny built 5ft 6" with a barrel tummy, have put 2.5 stone on since being diabetic diagnosed. My thyroid packed up 1986 after birth of my only child, it can happen after a pregnacy was told by specialist. Always been 8 to 8.5stone in weight. However since being diagnosed diabetic dec 2008 and trying various drugs to control it have been failure due to my drug intolerances, have found only sitaglyptin [januvia] agrees with me plus gliclazide my weight has over time climed up to
11stone!!! have been told by gp and diabetic specialist gliclazide is most likely culprit due to my extremely healthy diet RULED by my diverticulitis bowel disease... Am food intolerant to white breads pasta pastry too many potatoes, onions are a no no !!! Am not a huge meat either, only have bit of chicken and bacon [as a treat] . I LOVE vegetable casseroles hand-homemade by me, salads,cherry and baby plum tomatoes [eat these as nibble food also] spinach and cucumber sandwhiches on wholemeal local bakery baps [special order them weekly] can only tollerate filo pastry and buy in mushroom n guyere filo pastry parcels.homemake soups stews broths casseroles spag bols with wholemeal pasta their healthy nutricious foods and most importantly dont damage my control with diverticulitis disease. I steer totally clear of the BEIGE foods!!! learned the hard way and can take me two weeks to recover from even having just one slice of white bread... so NOT worth it for me. I hate ice cream and even cream cakes! Have a savory tooth love crackers with sliced tomatoes on for a nibble. My only weakness is Qvavers crisps !!! Am mad on clementines now... eat 6 daily at the mo!when it comes to medicinal drugs i can only tolerate sterate based drugs, how the drug is made up i need sterate base compound. Have been reading members stories and advice, worked out i will need benecol probiotic drinks again [have had to use them before] and will get script repeat of stemetil [wonderful drug for nausea] forwarned is forearmed eh?Am prepared for rough time possibly? till my body and system adjust to victoza? My blood sugars,cholestrol,blood pressure and liver are reading abnormally high with latest blood test results. Been feeling rough and knackered up for weeks now. Gp and diabetic nurse collared me and told me have to do something about it now. Victoza only way i can go now as am refusing continue with gliclazide up in middle of night with loo and breathless due to upper body weight gain,scaring me! Hope all my babble and life story helps? Anna.
