    Januvia and tinnitus

    So, I got off the phone with my diabetes nurse this afternoon, after calling her on Friday to ask about the side effect... She said, without listening to me, that she had checked up on the possibility of Januvia causing tinnitus, and there were "no reports". I tried telling her that I'd done...

    VICTOZA users

    Hi guys, So I'm starting my Victoza treatment in a couple of days, as I've been unsuccesfull on both Metformin, Eucreas and Januvia, with some terrible side effects. But as I've come to understand, there are some people who get serious side effects including nausea. Has anyone gotten the...

    Januvia and tinnitus

    Hi, Need som advice here. I was dianosed T2 in March and have been on metformin and Eucreas before going on Januvia. The metformin-based drugs were a PIA due to side effects so my diabetic nurse put me on Januvia instead. They were reluctant on putting me on other drugs mostly due to cost...

    Medications, side-effects and a GP that doesn't help

    Hey, Thank you! I've been on the LCHF diet some years ago, and lost over 80 pounds on it. My problem was that it was hard keeping that up when I "suddenly" didn't live alone anymore. I've tried a couple of times the last years to get down in weight again, but I've had to quit after 4-12...

    Medications, side-effects and a GP that doesn't help

    Yeah, I've checked, double-checked and checked again! It frustrates me, because I read everywhere that people that don't tolerate regular Metformin have good results with the SR... I guess it's got something to do with us being a small country or something, as 99% of the meds approved and...

    Medications, side-effects and a GP that doesn't help

    Yeah, I test (every day) when getting up, the fasting levels are anything between 5 - 9, and what I ate the night before doesn't really seem to matter that much. I can eat dinner at 7pm (baked salmon, sallad and 1 small potato), two hours later it's 7,5 and the morning after, 12-14 hours later...

    Medications, side-effects and a GP that doesn't help

    Thanks :) Well, that depends... I work kinda odd hours (7 days on, 7 days off - only evenings Mon-Fri, and 12 hours shifts on the weekends), which makes me live almost 2 different lifestyles. On my working weeks, I'm not home until around 1am, and I get up at somewhere between 0830-1000. I...

    Medications, side-effects and a GP that doesn't help

    Hey. Thanks for the advice! The problem is that there aren't any Metformin SR drugs marketed in Norway, we only have the regular type.

    Medications, side-effects and a GP that doesn't help

    Hey guys, Newbie here, both in terms of diabetes and on this forum. Be gentle :) So, I got my diagnosis in March this year, after a random test when I applied for a job where they have requirements regarding health (diabetes automatically excludes you). The fasting BG was 11 and I had max...
