People that can't listen to other people's opinions.
People that can't say sorry.
Just a quick question to ask whether anybody has been given duloxitine for diabetic neuropathy?
If so, has taking the drug increased your requirements for insulin?
I am taking duloxitine as my latest drug for fibromyalgia...and think it is great-however my basal and bolus rates that I am using have increased dramatically since going on to it, I just wondered whether there is anybody else out there that has been using duloxitine and found that it has altered their insulin needs at all in either direction. Really also wondering whether my body will get used to the new drug and will then need to alter my insulin downward again, as it gets used to it, or whether I should reckon on giving myself the higher rates constantly.
I understand that dulxitine is being prescribed a lot more now for diabetic neuropathy, so hoping there may be somebody that is using it?
