Hi there, thanks for your replies. Yes Cugila, the desensitisation therapy has been threatened for a while now, however it is fraught with red tape and has taken so long to get off the ground. My PCT had to prove that all other options had been exhausted .... which they have been. My lantus...

Hi there, Sorry for the vagueness in my original post .... i was just having a bit of a rant. I have posted my 'situation' on the boards before :oops: For clarity: I am on (currently) 720 units of Lantus per day, hence the 9 injections of 80. I cannot take that full dose at one go and...

As the title suggests I am in despair with the world of diabetics :? I am currently on Lantus and take 9 injections per day (yes 9 not a typo) as I require an awful lot of the stuff but its just not bringing my BS down. I still average 20 -30 bloods every day. My DSN and endo are great but...

Re: VICTOZA Hi peter lee, I was on both lantus and victoza aswell as metformine and various other things. I struggled big time on victoza and I am now off it. My dose of lantus never changed much when I was on victoza either, it went down a bit but then my blood results went up lol. Hope...

Re: VICTOZA Hi guys, not posted on for a while but thought i'd come on for a wee update ....... well I am no longer on victoza ...... I have now been taken off it as it just was not working for me :( .... unsure as to what the doctors are planning now as my sugars are just as high as ever...

Re: VICTOZA bit of premature posting there ........ lol :oops: I have spoken with my dietician and also my consultant. My diet is not one of their major concerns. they are happy with what I eat, just feel that I should eat a bit more (go figure getting told to eat more lol) I used to...

Re: VICTOZA Hi Ken, My food intake is quite erratic and i am the first to admit that my eating patterns are far from regular. I have learnt over the last wee while that carbs hate me but that I also need to eat some. A typical day for me would be: Brekkie: fruit (usually around 9 - 9:30) -...

Re: VICTOZA Hi all, I have not been on-line in a while and have been tardy in my keeping up with the site :oops: (sorry lol). Anyway, after trying VERY hard to sustain taking victoza it looks like its yet another failure for me. Blood levels are still high, insulin doses still high, still...

Re: VICTOZA i'm jealous lol I tried byetta a few years back and that didn't work for me either booooooooooo :oops: I really wish I could lower my insulin ..... that alone would make me feel soooooooooooo much better lol My DSN and endo both advised that the victoza worked rather rapidly...

Re: VICTOZA Hi there zclex27, I am type 1.5 (apparently type 1 (LADA) and type 2 .... i'm greedy ha ha ha) and I am taking victoxa along with my usual insulin. I am on week 3 with victoza, slight sickness but nothing major, no weight loss and no drop in BS yet ........ I have been asked to...

Re: VICTOZA Hey folks, just thought i'd post a wee update and let ya know how i'm getting on wth victoza ....... got a new supply of pens (they gave me 10 ???????) never asked for them thats just how many they gave me lol ....... anyway I am still on 1.2 wth no changes. Bloods are still the...

Re: VICTOZA Hi Tracey, As always Cugila dishes out good advice .... but what jumped out at me from your post was the lack of support your getting from your partner. It is always hard to lose weight diabetic or not (as Cugila says) but without support its gonna be like climbing a mountain with...

Re: VICTOZA Sounds god papa. I have to move up to the 1.2 dose on friday but haven't been told to reduce my insuln any further at this time ..... now i'm wondering f I should ??? This is my first week on victoza and i'm feeling a wee bitty squeamish ... that I can handle .... fingers crossed...

Re: VICTOZA Hey folks ..... well I have now started on victoza ....... i'm on day 3 ...... :? so far, not looking too good but fingers crossed. I have had terrible headaches from day 1, was sick on day 2 and feeling quite dreadful already. Now it maybe just coincidence (i'm keeping open...

Re: VICTOZA Hi sharman, I have to admit that your nfo on your thyroid got me a bit worried .... I am currently on 300mg daily and the slightest thing messes up my thyroid and my docs aren't so keen to up my thyroxine too much .......... may need to have a good ole heart to heart with my DSN...

Hi there, as Ken says only a medical professional can diagnose but can I ask, what affect did the gestational diabetes have on your babies in utero and post birth?? and when (and how) did they notice the diabetes? After you had your kids (with gestational diabetes) were you follow up checked...

I have been told my veins are collapsing .... frig only knows what that means but personally I think my body has just had enough of being a pin cushion lol

Not sure if this offers any explanation but I also take ramipril and when I was undergoing allergy tests the consultant informed me that ramipril can magnify allergic reactions, e.g if you are mildely allergic to cats or dogs on ramipril your reaction could be magnified ..... or it can also mask...

Re: VICTOZA ooft what a read lol I have just sat here for the best part of an hour reading through all of the posts (I had originally started a new thread with the above post but t was moved :D ) Now I have a query ..... I have read that victoza shouldn't be taken with insulin, but I have...
