The nausea is supposed to pass over time as you get used to the medication. The medication, like Ozempic and the rest of the GLP- 1 group of medicines, does indeed reduce appetite, which is some of them are also being prescribed - in some instances in higher doses and under different names, such...

Hi everyone, these questions intended for all those people using the various GLP - 1 medications: Ozempic, Trulicity, Bydureon etc. How long did it take for the usual side effects - primarily nausea and diarrhea - to pass? If you had stop taking the medication because of this, did you try...

Sorry to hear about your friend's condition. He needs to see a doctor as soon as possible and get tested and, if possible, referred to a consultant endocrinologist who will evaluate him thoroughly and build a proper treatment program for him. From the sound of it, he will probably need to be...

Thanks very much.

Hi Diakat, thanks to you and Guzzler for clearing that up and sorry for the misunderstanding. I referred to the injectable drugs Victoza, Byetta, Bydureon, Lyxumia, and the more recent addition, Trulicity. Was just curious to know whether anyone has tried more than one of them and whether the...

Sorry, Diakat, but I don't quite see what the specific problem was with my query (I wasn't asking for advice on medication but for other members' experiences in regard to a particular class of medication), so I'll be glad if you could just spell it out for me. Thanks

I am interested to hear whether there are any members of the forum who were put on one of the medications in this group and had to stop because of the side effects, but then tried another drug in this group - in particular one of the slow release ones with a once - a - week - dosage and was able...

Thank you for writing and sharing. I, too, have my fair share of difficulties. In addition to coping with my 90 - year old Mum whose health is slowly failing, I have my own crises. I had weight loss surgery two and a half years ago, and went through sheer hell in the aftermath as the passage to...

It's only at the development stage but nonetheless looks interesting http://www.haaretz.com/science-and-health/1.794052

This might be of interest to some people. It's early days, of course, but it looks promising nonetheless http://www.globes.co.il/en/article-fda-decision-renews-prospects-for-israel-diabetes-co-1001147508

You are probably right where Europe is concerned, but anyone wishing to get a device onto the US market would almost certainly file what is known as a '510(k) pre-market notification' with the FDA, which as the authority's own website states "demonstrates that the device to be marketed is at...

I don't think the author could have given a sense of cost or availability even if he wanted to since any new medical device will need FDA approval and/or CE Mark certification before it can be sold commercially and healthcare insurers are willing to underwrite at least part of the cost. Sadly...

This is new idea that researchers here in Israel have been working on. Still at the early stages but looks promising http://www.timesofisrael.com/hebrew-us-smart-socks-can-help-save-diabetics-feet/

Yes, this too looks promising. I suspect there are more devices under development as well.

Hopefully, if this idea goes commercial, finger pricking could be a thing of the past http://glucovista.com/

I too had the same trouble with Metformin and you might be interested to know that recently while buying the medication Januet XR, which contains SR Metformin, the pharmacist serving me made a suggestion I never heard of before (and neither has my GP or any of the specialists to whom I related...

Someone uploaded this to another forum I'm on so am passing it on. These things obviously take years to be finally developed but it looks hopeful anyway. http://news.ubc.ca/2015/03/19/stem-cells-show-promise-for-reversing-type-2-diabetes/

Hi everyone, Last year I tried out Victoza and found that on the starter dosage of 0.6mg, I was OK but once I moved up after 2 weeks to the standard 1.2mg dosage, my stomach couldn't handle it (constipation, diarrhea, abdominal pain and cramping) so had to stop. I now have the option of...
