I've been having some awful problems with my team, and apart from one lovely nurse who I rarely see, I feel seeing them is not helping me in the least. I agree a plan with my GP which he likes to give a few months to kick in, so we can see if it is doing anything long term with my blood sugars...

Been on Byetta for 2 and half years, doctor changed me yesterday to Victoza. Both injections of Victoza have drawn blood from my stomach where injecting it. I have injected Byetta with no problems at all in my stomach over 30 months, so why is injecting Victoza causing bleeding in the stomach...

I registered here ages ago with the intention of fighting the diabetes. I was given 2 months to change myself before they started the medication. Instead like a moron I buried my head in the sand. I am now on Metformin 500mg 3 times a day (1 at breakfast, 1 at lunch and 2 at tea) and just the...
