Hiiiii!

Just a quick one.

I'm currently on Fiasp for my fast acting insulin, Tresiba for long acting insulin and metformin.

The doctor has asked for me to drop Fiasp, and introduce Victoza.

I have tried trulicity and it made me so ill I had to stop, so i am trying this now.

I'm confused though, the doctor and pharmacist said to stay on the same amount of tresiba.

The last time I had trulicty I wasn't on any insulin and my levels were 5 constantly.

I'm not after medical advice, as I've had that, I'm just wondering if anyone has experienced taking victoza and tresiba and if they reduced their daily amount.

The pharmacist suggested stopping tresiba until i knew what victoza did.

The GP suggested I go on low carb (yeah, tried that and im useless lol, but will try again of course.)

Any advice, or personal experience welcome.

I'm a type 2 after 11 years of being a type 1. (Don't ask.)

Thank you!

It's a bit confusing to see the same post on different forums.

If you have been confirmed t2 then definitely low carb is worth trying again.

If you can tell us what you eat in a typical day, we may be able to offer some alternatives.

What are your favourite foods, eating should be fun and enjoyable. Done properly there should be no hunger.

I think it's been removed- I just wanted to reach as many people as possible!

I'm on the low carb forum now, and lots of ideas there. Thank you :)
