thought I would add this in over here as well…many in the DOC were asking on an update…
for those who have been asking…2 weeks, 2 days using victoza (GLP-1 analogue), once daily shot…FDA approved for type 2’s but I’m using off label as a type 1…
little bit of nausea to work through, tiredness…head-achy at times…going into the 3rd week will start using the highest dose …takes 2-4 weeks to push through minor side effects…does make me feel fuller, takes constant tummy grumbles away…between getting back to eating well, exercise have lost about 10lbs in 2 weeks
basal rate tad down, using a set carb per meal w/combo bolus, lowered insulin use by approx 25% or so…and working with a good doctor is helping me with my pump settings which made a difference in numbers as well …
on my meter average
90 days 213
60 days 210
30 days 175
14 days 157
7 days 149
Getting there =) …back in the game!
