Had my appointment with DSN today nurse was there also, my feet are perfect and so is my BP she said my feet are some of the best she has seen which is funny as I have neuropathy lol.x
Best news is i have lost 9lb since I last saw her which in my eyes is brillaint I had no idea I would get that kind of loss, i used to worry over my weight alot now it seems if i take the laid back approach the weight comes off lol...Also discussed was insulin for now it has been put on the back burner I do now feel better about the victoza now i know about the weight loss so we are gonna give it till November and see how I feel.So outcome is back in 2 weeks for flu jab and then no further appointments till December, also what was me mentioned was testing she said not to test more then 2 times a day which I am fine with.

Happy days...........


Well done with the weight loss, that's brilliant........🙂
 
Well done Steff, it all sounds pretty good for you.
 
Brilliant news with the weight loss - it is good that you have got a team who are prepared to listen to what you want and actually assess everything properly. Its good they are going to see if the victozia is for you and not to rush onto insulin.

Brilliant Steff!

Fingers crossed that the weight coming off makes it easier for you and delays the day when insulin may be necessary.

Second what Andy says. If you can delay it, then it gives you somewhere to go when it's needed. If you can avoid it altogether, then it'll be brilliant.🙂
