[Diabetes-Talk] a few questions

[d m gina]

I can not take victoza, I tried it where my heart raced really fast, 
and I kept throwing up badly.
I threw it away and told the doctor I would never take it again.
I would rather be heavy than to take it again.
Now you see I am losing weight, where I will not lose weight fast.
I know that doesn't work.
You gain it back.

>> Janette,

>> You're type 2, correct? This is why Medicare will only cover so many
>> test strips. It's following the antiquated idea (sadly set forth by
>> too many doctors still) that type 2s only need to test once or twice a
> day.
>> It's wrong and disgusting.

>> BTW, don't knock insulin, grin. Study after study shows that the
>> sooner type 2s go on insulin, the better glucose control they have.
>> Insulin isn't a bad thing. I hear this a lot from type 2s, and I don't
>> know where the idea comes from. It actually helps and is not a bad thing.

>> That being said, sadly, unless you go on insulin or develop type 1
>> (which can happen to type 2s) many insurance carriers probably won't
>> allow for more than testing a couple of times a day.

>> Curious, has your doctor fought this decision much? Medicare has put
>> its foot down a lot on things for me, but my endo fought it,
>> submitting letters for various things, and Medicare caved. It doesn't
>> always work, but it is possible for a doctor to appeal finddings with
>> Medicare and fought for a patient. That's been my experience.
