What To Do If I Can't Afford The Diabetes Meds Prescribed?
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

Generics were mentioned in another discussion so I am going to do a piece on what is available out there if you just can't afford that great new med that does everything including make your morning coffee for you

I may get a little long here, so may be a part 2 or 3 to this

I also will not get into a discussion about greed or why drugs cost so much in the first place. That may be a discussion that needs to be had but that won't help "today" if you can't afford the cost of or the copay even if… read more

Does Any Take Or Know Somebody Who Takes Jardiance Or Farxiga?
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

My insurance has decided not to cover my rybellsus. No skin off my back really.. but now my Dr wants to see if the insurance company will cover either of the above mentioned scripts.. I am not fond of the side effects from either. I had taken the inovokana but ended up with yeast infections every month.. esp right before my period. Sorry guys that is on my team if it's TMI.

The jardiance has ten side effects.. they said it was tested more in t1 than t2. But I am not fond of the side effects..

Bydureon, Anyone On It Or Ever Try It?
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

My doctor wants me to start taking Bydureon injections. I haven’t read or heard too many good things from other people who have tried it and the side effects really worry me. Anyone on here currently or previously taken this medication? If so, what was your experience and did it help your diabetes?

A DiabetesTeam Member

Yes, it was ok for me but my insurance didn’t cover it so my doctor put me on something else.

Why Is Ozempic Becoming The Most Popularly Prescribed 2nd Tier Treatment For Type 2?
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

You can’t watch a TV show without seeing Ozempic or Rybelsus commercials.

So why the big marketing push?

They both belong to the class called GLP-1 Agonists which include Trulicity and Victoza.

The early versions first hit the market in 2006 (Byetta and Bydureon).

Along the way the effectiveness/utility was improved with Victoza (2010), Trulicity (2014), Ozempic (2017) and finally Rybelsus (2020).

Being so "new" none are available as a generic.
