ive noticed that my appetite has been not what it used to be and i have lost weight (my primary doc feels both of these are great). last October i was 256 now Im at 230. i attribute this to both the Victoza and metformin, i don't know what else it could be
my a1c is now at 6.0 down from 6.4 and 6.2
in fact my appetite has been even poorer lately possibly due to all the cancer/surgery drama. also im going back to work Monday so i have some butterflies in the gut about that
also ive noticed that there are no more bubbles in my urine (from excess protein in the urine) so it looks like the reduced glucose and micardis/hct has been helping
if you had to guess is it possible that the appetite suppression is from being on too much victoza(1.2 mg injections once a day) and metformin (850 mg 3 times per day)? i forgot to ask the doctor this.
my local market sells two types of pomegranate juice--one with a high g. sugar content, the other is Natural Garden brand which is organic 100% premium, no preservatives, no sugar added, no artificial color. the sugar content on the label is 0 g. i like the taste which is more tart than sweet but i am curious is there still sugar in it and just because none is added can drinking a serving size (100g) still be damaging to a diabetic in terms of hyperglycemia?
"No sugar added" but don't all fruits have a pretty hefty dose of natural sugar? The label should show that as 'sugar'.
