This is a forum for patents where we help each other.Don't attack the person, Totto.
I know the brainwashed definitions and Wiki is not my bible.
Now I gave five areas that I feel are needed to address the epidemic. Please concentrate on those and not attacking a person trying to help the community. It's about diabetes and not your ego.
Deja vue, I read that on the page before.I am a bit confused..... In your profile you say you take byetta and metformin. Is that the same as lantus?
Thank you....my question to op was more of a query as to the discrepancy I had noticed, between his profile info and what he'd actually said on this thread.... if you get my drift....Deja vue, I read that on the page before.
the answer is no. It's an injectable used in T2. It has several modes of action . If you are interested then dare I say wiki has a clear explanation under mechanism of action.

I will write a little about psychology, but not diabetes.
The psychology of an online forum.
The importance of effective moderation cannot be underestimated.
Failure will usually lead to the domination of three personality types, the self appointed guru, the sheep and the sniper.
The guru inevitably comes from a problematic childhood and needs continual dopamine kicks to satisfy their emotional needs. Whilst supposedly helping others they are simply using them for their own benefit. Any threat to that dopamine supply is quickly dealt with by personal attack in an attempt to remove it. I am, no doubt, not the first to be dealt with as such. And those others may well have made worthwhile contributions to diabetics but they are lost. The gurus egotistical quackery remains the soul of the forum and the snipers and sheep continue to provide excellent dopamine kicks to satisfy their needs. The site becomes all about the gurus and diabetes is secondary, they cause more harm than they do good.
I do not wish to encourage their addiction and therefore I leave this site with the hope that good moderation will allow this site to be truly useful.
Oh yes! I remember that oneThe best ones are the posters whose profiles state they're male and have gestational diabetes
If you read meds info on OPs profile, it's different to what they actually said they're taking ie, metformin and byetta on profile but lantus during posts.....hence my "confusion" and subsequent postsA forum is just not a forum without a bit of controversy ! Bit boring if we all agreed with each other !
