[QUOTE="mehdave, post: 191158, member: 18470"] Hi I am on victoza its similar to byetta except its a once daily injection instead. I have a kidney disease called Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis that is slowly destroying my kidneys. At the moment my GFR is nowhere near as low as yours. But I did however ask about medications and progression of the disease eventually down to dialysis and was told that most of the injectables where safe pretty much up until dialysis. Again confirm with your own consultant but I imagine with close monitoring your condition can be managed successfully. I am on lots of different types of drugs and I know at times it can be very worrying, I have gone from perfectly healthy to being told I might not see 40 in a space of 2 years. The best thing you can do is write down any questions you have no matter how simple or silly they sound and always ask the consultants. Make sure you stay on top of your care as well if you think your worried about something or its not right let them know. The kidney specialists are especially good as they know as the diseases progress were going to be worried and have lots of questions. Let me know if there's anything further and I will try and answer from my own experiences. [/QUOTE]
