Diabetes Type 2 Support Group
Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...
I am currently taking 1.8 per day. I have been using Victoza since April and have lost 23 pounds. I began having diarrhea on and off, nausea, fevers and body aches a few months ago. Last tuesday i was at the urgent care with a fever of 103. Once they broke my fever i was ok. I also have thyroid problems and am on a huge dose of thyroid med. My thyroid is running extremely fast at the moment. I am also continuing to experience low grade fever, achiness, diarrhea and nausea. Ive been thinking that all of these symptomswere thyroid related. Tonight i am extremely nauseous and soooo wish i had some zofran. My questions are: could these symptoms be caused by victoza? And also, could it be possible that i may need a lower dose due to the 23 pound weight loss? I am confusedcuz i have so manydifferent health things going on...ty for your input!!!
check here for the side effects, etc. also maybe get blood work to check the thyroid...almost sounds a bit like a thyroid storm. I also have hyperthyroid and it can be a pain trying to control both diseases and make them play nice.
Make sure they test your FT4 and FT3, this are the thyroid hormones that are running around your body causing all the symptoms, etc. your TSH is basically the pituitary hormones which tell the body to release the others and you can have a normal TSH and still have problems
