Sorry about all this I can see your problem. and fully understand. it must be stressful for you. But you did say you were doing ok. Can you not change your meds. I do not know what the doctors are like in the UK. Are they helpful or just say it is something that you live with. Can you not see any other person with diabetic knowledge. There must be consultants, who could advise you about getting back to some sort normality, I know we all have problems which we try to keep under our hats but if you have children it is stressful for you plus the children, They must be as worried as you.
I know that living over here ,they are very much into diabetics. and any problem that shows up they are onto it. I am thankful for that. My doctor warned me that if I could not reduce my levels. he wants to put me on insulin. I am not having that regardless. as I feel that my diet is the problem but trying to understand the french is not easy .....language problem, that is why I came onto this site. I can talk to people. who have the same or similar problems. and in english
My Doctor changed my meds. and reduced them so the next time I go to the lab ..........we shall see.
I have friends who are diabetics. and friend who is one also. he takes no meds. He controls tt with right food. and exercise it works ok ,has not put on any weight. but he refuses to go on meds.
I have others who drink far too much and are on meds. they don't have a problem. So you tell me what is right or wrong.
No one I know seems to be having a problem and they do not seem to worry about it at all. They live there life to the full. Friend says when he feels down he has something to eat even if it is late at night
Sometime ago I was having sickness problems. I went to Holland and Barratts and bought some crystalised ginger bits ... more like a sweet.....stopped the sickness feeling.. I do not know if they still do them. but it worked for me as I had cancer and could not take the pills they gave me whenever I felt sick I would take a piece of ginger.
Sorry to rattle on. but you sound so sad. and you need to think as positive as you can for your family and yourself.. DSN says stop.... maybe then you will be normal and get back to your routine. as you said you are taking other meds.
Can you tell me why they put on these victoza . You could always try and eat smaller amounts and at a slower pace !!! Little and often....what was you like before taking these................... eating normally ?
I understand what they do.
How do they diagnose that you have a gut problem ? If this all started before ........maybe DSN are correct surely they know what they are talking about.
Well DFiona I do hope hat as each day passes, you will get thru this Can your doctor help you ?
@south711 -- yes type 2. Victoza inhibits gut motility (slows digestion) so you feel fuller for longer thereby lowering blood glucose. It sure works when you start not eating at all!!
I feel so nauseous I am right off my food. Not even a square of chocolate would entice me at the moment. I have had worsening side-effects since starting taking it. DSN says to stop them but offers no other solution. Am already on humulin I insulin which gives me similar (milder) side effects as well as massive weight gain. I am so unhappy on these meds -- as are my children who witness the problems.
