Byetta

I am using Byetta two times a day (10mg/ml). I am also using Duromine to surpress appetite. But First dr told me to take the Byetta within an hour AFTER meals, I later on read it should be taken BEFORE eating. I am now taking it before meals. But get so nauseus that I sometimes cant eat more than two spoonfulls. Am struggling to eat snacks inbetween meals. Am drinking more water - some days up to 2litres. Other days not so much... My problem is that I dont notice any weight loss so far. Its very… read more

Trulicity Availability

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question đź’­

Is anyone else having a problem with their Trulicity prescription? I have been unable to get Trulicity 4.5. I was able to get a 1.5 thru another pharmacy. It is very frustrating. I have been told that it is a national issue and may take several months to overcome.

So What's The Latest New Drug For Treating Type 2?

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question đź’­

In May of this year the FDA approved another new drug for the treatment of Type 2.

The drugs name is Mounjaro (tirzepatide) and it's the latest to join the club of the weekly/monthly injectables that first hit the market about a decade back with Ozempic being the most popular in the particular class of drugs.

Of course, with each new drug in a given class there is usually some improvement over what the last drug did or it would hardly be worth marketing - why would anyone switch if it didn't… read more

How Does A New Drug Make It To Market?

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question đź’­

(this will be at least a 2 part)

Researchers are constantly looking for the next new treatment

Once researchers have developed a drug that they “think” might work or improve an existing one they will start a “pre-trial protocol” (animal testing)

This can take years or decades.

This is often when you hear about some wonder drug that “one day may do everything include make your morning coffee”

So IF it passes the pre-trial it goes to Phase 1 Trial

Phase 1 is tested on a small group – as few… read more

Has Anyone Seen The Headline "Ozempic Linked With A Blinding Eye Condition"??

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question đź’­

If anyone is taking a GLP-1 class drug which includes Ozempic, Rybelsus, Mounjaro or some of the older ones like Victoza this headline may sound a little scary

It is based on a study done at Harvard Med and just published in the Journal of American Medicine (JAMA) so that means to start, this is not just a headline from someone sitting in a basement wearing a tinfoil hat - it's a "reliable source"

But what the headlines are not going to say is how they came about that statement

Here's what… read more
