I was on it for 6 months 2.5, 5, 7.5. I always had diarrhea and some nausea and throwing up but my A1C went from 10.9 to 5.4 and I lost 30 lbs. I stopped for 2 months because I had such stomach issues. Felt better but my appetite was back and I felt bloated.
I decided to start again at 2.5 mg per my dr. The difference is I stopped Metformin completely 3 days before I took the injection and haven’t taken it since. I used to take my injection Friday morning but I switched to Friday night. Normally I would have had a bought of something by now but haven’t yet. I ate pretty much the same things I usually eat. Just a little bit of gassy feeling that subsided. When I took the shot this time though I noticed a drop of the meds on my stomach (mixed with some blood). I have gotten a spot of blood a few times but never the meds. Does it mean the dose wasn’t injected?
