ALOGLIPTIN vs INSULIN GLARGINE

I was going to start Ozempic tonight, but I just can't. I went looking to see if there were any tips or tricks to avoid nausea or to get a better idea of how long it lasts and saw that diabetic retinopathy IS an actual (though rare) side effect that might not go away. And you just don't know how muc

I'll probably cross post this to diabetes and endocrinology forums. Thanks for setting up an evidence based endocrine forum, I'll try to contribute. I did some work on the available data on CV outcome trials to date. This is a wordy summary of available trials, but hopefully shed some light on the p

So I'm being treated by the NHS as though I have type 2 diabetes. I also have a mitochondrial mutation that causes Maternally Inherited Diabetes and Deafness, but for the purposes of treatment I am T2. I'm a moderately overweight (not obese) reasonably active woman in my early 30's who also has PCOS

Hello everyone, i was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes earlier this year. I have experienced a blood sugar drop before in my life on a few different occasions. However, i started suffering from severe panick attacks after my mom passed away. I had a massive panick attack at work one day that was Trigg

I take Metformin, Alogliptin, and Empagliflozin. Before that I was taking Pioglitazone instead of Empagliflozin. My blood sugar was fantastic. My morning blood sugar was around 97mg to 115mg even after a hefty meal night before and the A1C was 6.5. Then the VA changed Pioglitazone to Empagliflozin b

What embarrassing pharmacy confessions do you have? Thought it would be fun to share embarrassing things you did or didn’t know/realize, and didn’t want to tell others in your pharmacy. For the first year or so of working, I thought “Basaglar Kwikpen” was “basaglar Kiwi-pen”, and had no idea why it

How does everyone work with patients that just blatantly lie about being adherent to their meds? Example: I have a pt who is suppose to be on a large amount of insulin Glargine but hasn’t picked up his rx since November but SWEARS he’s taking it… my concern is safety since I am often titrating insul

I’ve seen insulin glargine 150 units bid Is there a point where insulin just does NOT work??

Can anyone tell me what yfgn stands for?

https://www.cnbc.com/2023/10/19/sanofi-to-offer-insulin-for-35-to-americans-through-goodrx.html Interesting how competition, setting a price ceiling for Medicare part d patients, and bad publicity can get a company to bring costs down. Can't imagine sanofi doing this a few years ago when they were t
