Hi BaliRob, No, I don't use one, lol :)

The thing is, I'm usually spot on with my tablet taking, BaliRob, It was just a slip up the other night. You see, I took them before I actually started eating, and it kind of didn't register, And then an hourish later, it was an 'ooops, I've not had my tablets!' and quickly popped a couple...

Yeah, I've been on it for.... ooh let me think now.... hmmm.... must be about 10 years now..!

Yeah, I will make some enquiries, Unbeliver, you never know it could be an error!

Yes, I will definitely mention it, Grazer, Thanks again for your input, much appreciated :)

Thanks again, Grazer, I went for my 6 monthly hospital diabetic hospital appointment a couple of weeks ago, and they checked through my prescription with me, against their records, and it was confirmed that 2 metformin tablets were being taken three times a day, with each meal - breakfast...

Hi Grazer Thanks for replying, Well as you can see, I survived the night! lol :crazy: So, thankfully there were no adverse reactions to my 'overdose' .. lol.. Re your comments on my daily dosage, I've just checked my prescription, to see what it actually says, incase I've been wrong, and it...

Thank you Denise and Ladybird for answering. My total dose of Metformin is 500mg x 2, three times a day.

Hi Tonight I took the last of my 3 doses of metformin (500mg x 2) at 10.45pm, with food. I completely forgot I had taken the tablets and took 2 more at midnight, 1 and half hours later! I'm slightly worried.. :?

Hi Bobbylinks, How did you get on today at the clinic? :) I'm interested to hear what they had to say about your Victoza, as I too found my appetite returned to normal after a few months of being on it, but my overall sugar levels still seem to be doing ok though, and I'm still on my reduced...

Hi all, I've been on Victoza for quite some time now, I started in June 2010 (I posted up on here when I was first on it) In the first 10 months or so I lost a fair bit of weight, 35lbs all in all. My appetite was greatly reduced, which made losing the weight very easy. I then came to a...

That's great Ken, thank you! You've been most helpful. Yes I too now use a smaller plate for my meals. Yeah, It'd be good if anyone else could pop along and add their two penneth aswell, I'd be interested to hear how you're all doing and what a typical day consists of, just so I can get an idea...

Thanks for replying again Ken, youv'e been most helpful in what you've told me tonight. You're right, my appetite will decrease wont it, so it will hopefully make it easier for me to work around it. Hmmm, I will just have to get my thinking cap on.. I now appreciate how convenient Victoza is...

Ooooh right Ken, thanks for that. Hmmmmm its very important then, thanks for clearing that one up for me!! Well, the cornflakes or sandwich that I have mid day (1pm-2pm ish) IS my breakfast. Then tea time (5pm-6pm ish) is my 2nd meal of the day, which is my main meal, and then later on...

Hi all, I'm currently on Victoza, been on it since June and have lost a total of 21lb, have reduced my Lantus from 80-100 units down to 34, and my blood sugar levels have remained good. When I last saw my diabetic nurse for my monthly weigh in last month, she said she might concider trying me on...

ok... thanks alot :oops: and yes, im still on the same meds. regards jackie

i will certainly have a look again to see if i can find that piece on the test thyey carried out, no problem. i know i wasnt particularly looking for anything specific when i was looking online, i just wanted to have a nosey on what it said about just nibbling on them, as in snacking, because...

well to be honest i havent done alot of research on it!! lol .. yes theres lots on the internet where it mentions that 'oil of cloves can help with diabetes'. have a look yourself. :shock: and yes i did briefly read an article the other night when i was just flitting around reading this and...

yeah there seems to be quite a bit online about the benefits of taking clove oil, and not just from companies trying to promote their goods. i might be getting excited over nothing i know lol .... it might have nothing to do with the cloves whatsoever... but it just seems a coincidence since...

hi patch, hi ragman, these are whole cloves, not the oil. you get hundreds in a jar from the supermarket for about 56p. yes, they are strong and hot, and yes they are used to help with toothache too. i really dont mind the taste attall, infact im enjoying chewing on a couple at a time, and i...
