GP1 treatment for type 2 diabetes

Posted , 5 users are following.

I have been having trouble controlling my blood sugar due to stress and depression. I’ve been told they want to start me on gp1 injections, has anyone used this form of treatment and did it help.

    I have not used, but these drugs are common and typically effective.

    What else have you tried, and how bad are your numbers?

    I haven’t heard of this and couldnt find anything other than advertisements when I did an online search.

    You’ll have to try a search, but you may need a generic name, or you may need to do a search for comparisons of injectable diabetes meds.

    Hello!

    Yes I am currently on the brand name Victoza and it lowers my blood sugar to normal within a week. Some people have side effect but they will pass. I felt a bit nauseated but start the shots off very slowly then build up. You will also lose some weight and have more energy. It has really helped me allot where metformin didnt.
