Went to my gp yesterday for my blood test results everything is good and my hbA1c was 5.3 so he has taken me off Victoza but still taking Metformin 3 x 1000mg,little apprehensive but hopefully it will work tested myself at lunch and got a reading of 4.5 so fingers crossed.

I have been on Victoza for the last couple of years and everything is great my last hBA1c was 5.5,my doctor said to me that on my next visit after the blood results if my hBA1c was a bit lower he would consider trying to take me off the Victoza and see how i go,basically he said that because i...

I drank cider and lots of it for over twenty years until i became diabetic,my consultant told me its the sugariest drink of them all and to forget about drinking it again,he suggested red wine,spirit with a diet mixer,or if i had to have a beer try lager but if out for a night try and stay on...

Just an update on this,i went to see a urologist the other week and explained everything to him,he recommended that i lower my dosage of cialis was on 10mg now down to 5mg and it did indeed work i can now achieve orgasm,seemingly two types of nerves serve the penis and basically with using the...

Re: VICTOZA Just said i would update this was switched from Byetta to Victoza three weeks ago and thankfully had no reactions like nausea,after a week i went from the 0.6 dose to 1.2 and my readings have stayed basically the same,as for weight loss it has not affected me although i did lose 55...

Re: VICTOZA No Ken it just seems a lot of people get a reaction to the injections and i thought that maybe some people are not being prescribed something that puts a lining on the stomach and helps avoid the nausea associated with victoza or byetta.

Re: VICTOZA Have been on this now for five days will up my dose to 1.2 on Wednesday,thankfully have not suffered any side effects headaches nausea etc and never had them when i was on Byetta either,i take a tablet in the morning called Zoton which basically lines the stomach and was wondering...

As has been said everyone is different and what works for one does not work for the next person,i can only call on my own experience and the one thing i would say to people is to see your health professional be it gp, diabetic nurse or preferably your consultant endocrinoligist,too many people...

Was diagnosed just over two years ago i take 3 x 1000mg of metformin a day and also inject Byetta twice a day,

I was in the back of an ambulance at about 06.15 Christmas Eve morning 2007 and came round in intensive care three days later to be told i had died twice but they were always confident of getting me back but there main worry was i had about 30-40 mins before i slipped into a diabetic coma and...

Re: Metformin : How long before side effects start ? I was diagnosed with diabetes on xmas eve 2007 and came round in intensive care to be told the good news three days later,i was in such a mess that i cant recall any major side effects with metformin although i do have a bit of a wind problem...

As has been posted already it may hinder your weight loss but it will improve your body fat which is probably a better indicator,its just that muscle is heavier than fat so if your weight loss slows down it will probably be due to more muscle and less fat a far healthier combination.I go to the...

There is sod all to be ashamed of regarding diabetes,i was diagnosed with diabetes on christmas eve 2007,unfortunately i did not read the signs or symptoms too well and ended up in an ambulance at half six christmas eve morning and came round in intensive care three days later to be told i was...

My thoughts on this are that everybody is different and what works for one does not work for another people would be far better getting themselves to see health professionals an endocrinologist and dietician for example and getting proper help and diagnosis rather than just going on the...

Like most people i was wary of people watching me inject and would generally use a toilet to inject when out,as i thought about it i just said sod it and now inject wherever i am out most people dont even notice you doing it.

I have found the last month or so i am nearly always hungry one side effect of byetta that has worn off me,but between meals its mainly fruit and water that i would have,also the odd biscuit or two,i was told to use plain (digestive or rich tea or fig rolls) biscuits,
