Hi All,
I have been T2 since Jan 2009, took my docs a fair while to diagnose me and my sugar levels were in the high 30's by the time they did. So was feeling very ill with all the nasty symptoms. I have been struggling ever since to get them under control with oral medication, diet and exercise I'm still not there, at my last doc appointment I asked about Byetta / Victoza at first they seemed to say I would be suitable but when I went back they said no and put me on another tablet, I am now on Metformin, gliclazide and pioglitazone and my sugar levels are still above 15. Does anyone know what the criteria for Byetta / Victoza is. I am back at the docs on friday and would like to be prepared to argue that one of these is the right thing for me. I have had enough of feeling so tired and ill, it effecting my life and my childrens life which is so unfair to them.
Thanks hope someone can help me.
