Her doctor wants to put her in a clinical trial. She will get this product for free. I looked it up. I read all the info. It is supposed to help with weight loss and she's about 275.

She is presently on Humalog 3 times a day and Levimir one time a day. Her doctor took her off of Januvia and Glyburide saying "It's not helping you at all"

Her sugar can go to 260 in the a.m. (she knows about liver dumping). Her post prandials are all over the place. And when she gets up in the a.m. and it's 89 she starts to shake.

So her sugar readings are all over the place.

She is 67 years old, has an arrythmia and is on heart meds as well as high blood pressure meds.

Recently her stomach is hurting her and they are going to do a cat scan.

Her own doctor said to her "Why on earth do you want to go into a clinical trial, we don't know anything about this drug and it's side effects (which it seems can be hypo episodes).

So I came here to ask if you think she would be a good candidate.

She won't consider any bariatric surgery and I'm thinking 3 shots of humolog, 3 shots of Symlin and one shot of Levimir A DAY??

Isn't this a lot of injections?

Any comments are welcome.

Thanks much
