Any type 2 diabetes sufferers?
-
My doc switched me to Victoza. Just wondering how it went for you. I start in the morning and a bit nervous about it. The injections were ok with me but my A1C is a 5.1 and I don't drink so I became a perfect candidate.

My uncle just moved back to the US and within a month was diagnosed with diabetes. I don't know what you guys have in the air over there, but he was fine in England
I jest, of course.A very good friend of mine has diabetes and has had it for a long time. He used to inject many times every day, before or after every meal, and on one occasion we were coming back from dinner, he did a BSL test on the way and was dangerously low - his OH literally ran back to the flat and raided the fridge for fruit juice, fruit yoghurts, basically anything that had readily available sugar.
Anyway, fast forward a couple of years, and he's drastically changed his diet - very, very low carb, only meat, fruit and vegetables, basically (though in vast quantities). He's fitter than ever, and has massively reduced the amount of times he injects, down to maybe one per day.

I take metformin as well. It's got this taste/smell I can't describe. Anyway the Victoza is working great. Now I can skip meals. I do feel a bit nauseous sometimes.I was 8.6 with 1500 MG metformin.

Yes I understand where your friend was. It sounds like he was on a background insulin along with insulin for meals. They probably changed his meds and got him on the right track.My uncle just moved back to the US and within a month was diagnosed with diabetes.

Yes the a1c had jumped up from 7.1 over last 6 months so he went with the invokana and metformin. I have one of those one touch meters but I can't find the test strips.
I think invokana the one you take and one other are the same family of medication. Dehydration low blood sugar frequent urination?

No dehydration I drink water all day anyway. So same answer for the urinating. But I'm nauseous all the time now.Yes the a1c had jumped up from 7.1 over last 6 months so he went with the invokana and metformin. I have one of those one touch meters but I can't find the test strips.

The doc asked me what my secret was for my A1C I chuckled and told him I was all in for my health. Also told him I get a full nights rest. You see, if you eat a snack before bedtime you can sleep knowing you won't run low. I didn't have any secrets I've only been diagnosed since June of last year. My goal is to get so low I can control it by diet alone which probably won't happen.

I have a co pay of $30 for my one touch testing strips. It's really expensive when the doc wants you to test four times a day. Here's what I did.
Wal Mart has a brand called reli on. I bought the "prime" tester ($9) and the strips are $18 for 100 of them. It still costs money but it saves some money. I payed out of pocket it was cheaper than the co pay.
If you keep a good eye on the bsl's it insures you of where you are headed on your A1C. Good luck.

See that's crazy. $120 per day? How can they get away with that? Those things clearly cost way,way less than that.

Well I own a freestyle lite. Do they reli strips work in them? Generic?
There was some place that sent me test strips for free and billed the insurance company but I have a new insurance company.
PS am I mistaken or did you say that you had an a1c of 5.1? Why would you be concerned about something that low?
