Hi, i am type 2 diagnosed 18months ago. since diagnosis I have tried metformin which i was unable to tolerate due to stomach problems i then tried a glyptin which i also could not tolerate due to stomach problems. I the went onto Victoza .6mg daily to start with but when i went to 1.2mg daily i felt really nausious so went back to .6mg which was fine my BG was averaging 8.1 and i felt ok after about 6 months of stabiolity i started to feel nausious on the .6mg of Victoza ands have had to stop taking it. My practise nurse then started me on a different type of glyptin this is causing stomach problems as well. inaddition i am eating a high fibre low carb diet. and walk at least 1 mile a day with our dog as exercise. i weigh just under 17stone
now comes the question: My practise nurse wants me to go onto Glyplazide, i have rerearched this and have found there is a big likelihood that it will increase my weight (something i can il afford). i have told the nurse that i do not want to go onto this but she says teh next step is basel bolus insulin regime which i have asked to go onto for the following reasons: 1) i cannot afford to put on extra weight. 2) i am trying to hold down a responsible job and cannot afford to keep feeling tired and unable to concentrate for long periods. 3) i have managed so far not to have any time off due to my diabetes and cannot afford to keep trialing things that give me stomach problems. 4) It has been 18Months and i am fed up with messing around. 5) it is almost certain that at some point i will end up on insulin anyway.
My nurse at the moment won't change me to insul;in and said she wants to talk to the hospital first, does anyone have any advice or comments please?
