INSULIN ASPART vs LIRAGLUTIDE

For some reason a childhood memory popped into my head just now. We were driving somewhere with another family and their mom was in diabetic shock. My mom stormed into an Italian restaurant demanding a sweet tea. The staff were hesitant. Meanwhile the lady in distress was not in her right mind and s

From her instagram account: “ I spent 9 days in ICE detention and it was the worst days of my life. My case was eventually terminated because I had filed the necessary paperwork with USCIS (I'm married to a US citizen, that's why we were at our green card interview) The whole experience was beyond t

* I recently published a comprehensive guide for people who have never heard of the keto diet or want to know more. This was very well received [on /r/keto](https://redd.it/4vhrv5) and I'm sure /r/fitness would benefit as well from this information because diet is one of the most powerful and effect

Is anyone able to clarify this for me, I’m an RPh but I hadn’t heard anything about this before. I had a patient who was (correctly) dispensed several vials of generic insulin aspart as per the prescription (no DAW or prescriber note requesting brand name) and our state laws pertaining to generic d

After two consecutive blood tests showed and A1C of 4.5-4.6, my primary care physician had me drop my T2 meds. I achieved these results through diet and exercise, supported by my meds. First he had me drop Jardiance, and that went fine. Another 4.6 A1C. Then he had me drop Victoza/Liraglutide and Me

Slight cross post from a r/KaiserPermanente thread of mine. After 2 years and 4 denials to see an endocrinologist as an uncontrolled T2D, I finally got them to accept the referral after asking for a formal denial letter so I could go self-pay to an out of network hospital system a few counties away.

I was diagnosed with T2 back in November and it gave me a scare. I’m in the morbidly obese category and on liraglutide to help. I don’t think it’s working well for me but that’s a separate issue. I feel like I need another kick, I haven’t received a lot of support from my GP (in the UK) and I am try

What do you guys usually do with leftover medication? This is 0.5mg and based on my usual dosage of 1.8mg/day, I rarely have enough extra across 3 sticks to constitute one last dose at the end of the medication period. Do you still use the extra?

For the past 5 months I have been working really hard on my diet and fitness level where i've pretty much got it in lock down. I've integrated healthy eating and going into the gym in a very sustainable way where it's a part of me now. It is kind of surreal to think now there were days on end I woul

It works by helping the pancreas to release the right amount of insulin when blood sugar levels are high. Liraglutide injection also slows the emptying of the stomach and may decrease appetite and cause weight loss. It's been a couple of days and I'm having some trouble with nausea. I've found that
