[QUOTE="Starbuck28, post: 816402, member: 166512"] I started taking Liraglutide for the 1st time yesterday - I was advised by my diabetic nurse to take it in the evening just after evening meal that way if i feel sick it will be whilst I am asleep . I was gob smacked this morning to wake to a fasting reading of 11.2 and that was after i had halved my normal does of nighttime back ground insulin, up till this morning my fasting readings had started to creep up 18 with massive doses of Levemir (90 units) morning and night and meal time injections on Lantus based on the Carbs I had eaten. I was diagnosed 4 years Ago and was put on insulin within 6 months as was very ill on Metformin I was not over weight before I was diagnosed but fell foul of my fathers family genes - Since I have been on Insulin things were great for the first two years but over the last year especially i have struggled to control my sugar levels and have swung between hypos and hypers which has resulted in a marked weight increase. The fact i go to the gym or do some form of exercise every other day has enabled me to maintain my weight over the last year and because all of this was recorded at my local gym I think thats why I was offered this treatment that and the fact I broke down in tears with the GP over my weight. I know this is only one day in but i have hight hopes for this treatment and how it helps my body with its struggle with insulin. [SIZE=4][B][/B][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
