Hi, I had exactly the same issue when on holiday in Florida - I put my sensor on, put a sensor cover/plaster over it however within 3 days it had come off

12 months, oh I really hope not. I managed to get some when was put onto Victoza but that’s going to be up soon - put another order in and just get told - it’s not in stock… nothing else. My dr hasn’t put the Victoza on my prescription either so I can’t order that now too. It’s all making me...

Hi, I’m in the same position, although not lost as much weight (that’s fantastic by the way). I was waiting for a month to get my prescription filled (if finally came in 2 days ago after I’d been put back onto Victoza which hasn’t helped me before). It’s a pain as celebs were telling people...

I got the same but it’s more likely for my other condition

Didn’t have any side effects with Ozempic since I started it, just feel like I’m going backwards in the treatment but maybe it’ll be different this time. I really hope Ozempic comes back into supply soon though

I’m going onto Victoza whilst Ozempic is in short supply which I’m not looking forward too as it made me quite ill last time I was on it years ago

Thanks, I was on that before starting the injection but my body is weird and works on tablets for a few months but then my body starts to stop working with the tablets - no idea why. I’m hoping the doctor sends something else to the pharmacy by next weekend. It’s so difficult to see someone...

Hi, I’m having issues getting Ozempic (on my last injection) and now I’m being told Invokana is having issues too. I’ve contacted the doctors but got told they’d send an alternative to the pharmacy on prescription but this was a while ago and the pharmacy have had nothing else sent to them. I...

Hi, you’ll be able to use the same app on the phone for the libre sensors too (if it’s the LibreLink app)

Hi, I started this at the weekend. Was told I need to take it the same day every week and my doctor said about 30 minutes before a meal. The time of the day can vary, just has to be the same day. If you’ve never injected before it didn’t hurt at all

I was recently put onto steroids so brought myself a meter - it was from Amazon and is called VivaChek Ino X and seems to be ok. Due to the steroids putting my levels up a lot I spoke to the doctor who put me onto Novorapid to help adjust them when they get high, because of this he gave me a...

I believe grapefruit will affect you if you’re on statins but not metformin

I will do, thanks

Thanks, I think that’s what it was for as all he mentioned was to test and then for however much over 10 I am, to inject to bring it down, so it sounds like it’s just for correcting

@xfieldok at the moment I’m on 30mg a day, down from 50mg a day

Thank you @Jaylee and @Fenn

Thank you Fenn that’s all useful info, I’m just starting on the carb counting, so will look at it all again and it’s bound to be trial and error for a while. I do appreciate the info :) jo

Hi, I’m just about to start Novorapid injections to help whilst I’m on steroids (Prednisolone). My doctor has said to get my levels down to 10 to start with (with every 3 points it needs to come down as 1 unit of insulin). My question is I test before my meal and is that when I inject, or do I...

Hi JohnEGreen, That’s useful to know as I’m also new to all this. My doctor is putting me on Novorapid whilst I’m on the Preds to help, so I was just guessing when to test so hearing others recommendations is very helpful. I’m still so worried about putting on the weight I’ve managed to lose so...

Many thanks Jim, hope your eye recovers quickly. take care, Jo
