Category: Injection Prescription

Inject 2 x's a day and eat your meal within 1 hour of it. Painless usally. It has kept my ALC numbers going down. I started at 7 and now stays about 5.7 or so. It also helps my weight.

Has been working very successfully for me. I have been losing slowly, about 5 lbs a month but I am also still on high doses of insulin but being gradually weaned off injections.

Pros:

Suppresses my appetite. Gets bs under control

Cons:

Some nausea rarely. Have to keep fighting with insurance to pay cost. Have approved finally for 1 year.

Started about a month ago and have gotten remakable results with it keeping my numbers is excellent control. Started out with an A1c of 7.4 will let you know what my A1c is when I get a new one in January.

Pros:

Easy to use, effective, easy to carry.

Cons:

Very expensive...still fighting with my insurance to cover the cost. Some people experience nausea that they can not tolerate. I only experience mild nausea if I eat too much, my endocrinologist has warned me to not eat big meals.

I wrote on this once before and told how it did not work for me. I just heard from another site today that someone else became sick from using this. I am sure that it is safe for some people, but just remember there have been some deaths due to use of this.

Cons:

not safe for all
