    Type 2- I know I'm young.

    Thank you for the information! I am going to sit down and make sure I do all my research. My family and I have already adopted a low carb, high protein diet and that seems to be better. We tried slimming world however found that it never worked for us. Hopefully with a little bit if...

    Type 2- I know I'm young.

    Thank you for your supportive comment! I have drastically changed my diet since my initial diagnosis. Low carb, high protein diet. My mother is supportive of the dieting process for she too had a problem with weight and therefore were trying to do it together. Unfortunately, my mental health...

    Thank you so much for your lovely comment! It was nice to read something so encouraging instead of being bashed for things. I'm looking forward to a better future and will get this all under control! Many thanks to you again.

    Victoza- does it get any better?

    You're very fortunate to not have experienced side effects from Victoza but it's very interesting to hear that you don't think it helped. Did your blood glucose levels not improve whilst taking it? I think I'm going to go back and speak to my endocrinologist about it.

    Victoza- does it get any better?

    Thank you for sharing your experiences! I was hoping that I wasn't the only one who struggled with victoza. After hearing how you've been placed on an another medication, I am going to go back and speak to my endocrinologist to see what they suggest.

    Type 2- I know I'm young.

    I'm actually only on one type of medication, thankfully. I just inject myself with 1.2mg of Liraglutide a day. My eating habits have greatly improved from a few years ago, especially since my mother and I discovered a diet called the "Terri-Anne 123 diet". It's a low carb, high protein diet and...

    Type 2- I know I'm young.

    Injecting is a very new thing for me but I'm sure I'll learn how to cope with it over time. My grandad has always been an injector so I wasn't scared of having to inject and I actually find it easier to remember than taking my tablets. Thank you for your comment and support!

    Type 2- I know I'm young.

    Thank you for sharing your experiences and suggestions with me! A few years back my mother and I thankfully found a diet called the "Terri-anne 123 diet" and it honestly changed our lives. It's a very low carb, high protein diet and it has helped alot. We have been eating like this for around 3...

    Type 2- I know I'm young.

    I wasn't diagnosed at 15 with diabetes, I was only pre-diabetic then. Unfortunately I had a very traumatic childhood which lead to eventual intervention with social services so a very rocky life has lead to bad mental health amongst other problems. I have always been very overweight, even when I...

    Sitagliptin a day dapagliflozin

    Was placed on sitigliptin after I couldn't tolerate metformin prolonged release. I did take Dapagliflozin whilst I took the Metformin but due to my GPs negligence, they accidently took it off my repeats whilst transitioning me over to Sitagliptin. Sitigliptin did absolutely nothing to my levels...

    Victoza- does it get any better?

    So I've been injecting myself with Victoza for a little over 3-4 weeks and I've absolutely hated it. Before taking Victoza, I had tried 4 different oral anti-diabetic drugs with 4 failed results. At first I was put on Metformin when I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic. When I couldn't tolerate that...

    Type 2- I know I'm young.

    So let's cut to the chase, I'm 19 and I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic back when I was 15 and then it wasn't long until I was diagnosed as type 2 diabetic. I've been taking medication to help with it ever since my diagnosis back when I was 15. I've taken metformin, Metformin prolonged release...
