Laura Anne Kilpatrick replied to Yvonne's discussion 'Blood pressure medications--Losartan, for one' in the group Type 2"I really don't know why Doctors have gotten into the "take a prescription for preventative" pharmaceuticals are for treatment. If you don't want to take it he can't force you!!!!"
Laura Anne Kilpatrick replied to Mia's discussion 'Trying to take charge of my life again...' in the group VICTOZA"If the Victoza makes you sick at a higher dose ask for another medication. Staying high is very dangerous for your long term health. It is very frustrating I have had diabetes for 25 years. But please know that 116 is not low. You don't need to…"
Laura Anne Kilpatrick replied to ChristineJ's discussion 'Saying Hello!' in the group Monogenic Diabetes (aka MODY)"Hi Christine :) happy to see you here !!!"
Laura Anne Kilpatrick replied to Chris's discussion 'Highs, how can you tell.' in the group Type 2"The AACE (The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists) guidelines are: A1C <6.5, Fasting <99, Post Prandial @ 1 hr. <140, Post Prandial @ 2 hr. < 120."
Laura Anne Kilpatrick replied to Chris's discussion 'Highs, how can you tell.' in the group Type 2"Other than testing with your meter or using a CGM (continuous glucose monitor) it is hard to tell. An hour after eating should be at 140 and 2 hours at 120. Unless you go much higher you won't know. Sometimes a person will feel tired or sleepy…"
Laura Anne Kilpatrick replied to Chris's discussion 'Highs, how can you tell.' in the group Type 2"You test with your meter !!!!!!"
Laura Anne Kilpatrick replied to Elizamew's discussion 'How to deal with side effects? is it worth it?' in the group VICTOZA"I know a lot of people that could not tolerate the Victoza excessive vomiting. I was on Byetta and could not tolerate it. But can Victoza. I do get an upset stomach every once in awhile, but not often."
Laura Anne Kilpatrick replied to spirit7's discussion 'Medications that work for MODY' in the group Monogenic Diabetes (aka MODY)"Here is a link you might be interested in: http://monogenicdiabetes.uchicago.edu/"
Laura Anne Kilpatrick replied to Azurah's discussion 'feel like I might have MODY' in the group Monogenic Diabetes (aka MODY)"All types of diabetes can have insulin resistance -- although usually with type 1 and type 1.5 it develops later--mainly due to the synthetic insulin used now. The only way to eliminate or confirm LADA (type 1.5) is to have the antibody testing…"
Laura Anne Kilpatrick replied to Brigitte's discussion 'For those of us Victoza users that inject straight from the fridge.... Do you find it hurts more?' in the group VICTOZA"I haven't noticed either way -- the only time I get burning is when I haven't dried the alcohol from the alcohol pad. I found that using the alcohol softens my skin on my belly and then I don't even feel the needle."
Laura Anne Kilpatrick replied to SweetPee's discussion 'This ain't cheap!' in the group VICTOZA"I was on 1.2 per day getting 2 pens then upped to 1.8 and getting 3 pens per box now. Without insurance I was paying $300.00 per month for the 2 pens and then it went up to $600.00 for the 3 pen box -- thankfully have insurance now and only costs $…"
Laura Anne Kilpatrick replied to christina wentworth's discussion 'does it help with high blood sugsrs' in the group VICTOZA"I have been on Victoza for over a year now and was able to see a difference in my post meal readings in about a week."
