Have been settled on the Victoza..(self funded..but thats another story) since September.....and have seen a steady improvement in the readings...holding steady at 5.2 (might be +/- a little)..but far better overall than 12 monhths ago. Thank you to various pieces of advice from correspondents on here..
One thing that does still appear odd.....bear with me on this one.
I keep the Phials in the fridge as I am supposed to..and am having 1.2 (the middle size jab)..every day...about 6pm. A nice steady set routine....and the results are good.
I am thinking...the medication goes directly into blood stream..thus by passing the Coeliac damaged gut...which explains the improvements..so well worth the £. (Asda price far better than others!!)
The odd thing...towards the end of the phial....it doesnt seem to work as well. I have a couple of days really off colour...cant be bothered etc...want to sleep, cold and shivery, dont want to eat.....which is fine if its weekend..but not in the working week.
Its as though I hadnt taken any medication at all...
Is this right?? Is it just co-incidence?
Its happened several times now....and I want to know how/why..and how to deal with it.
Is it a shelf life issue?? Does the phial need shaking up before I use it?? Am starting new phial tonight...after two days over Bank holiday when I have not been fit to live with....
Many thanks
