I didn't know 360p cameras still exict.

Is it available now or still under test?!

Absolutely true about the fear of going low while asleep. My young daughter would go low in her sleep multiple times a week before we went on the looping program. I feel for the people unable to afford continuous glucose monitors since they or their caregivers wouldn’t even know they were going into a diabetic coma until it was too late. Insulin is a fickle beast and continuous glucose monitors which communicates to the insulin pump is a must for quality of life for diabetics. Thank you for bringing the message to the Canadian House of Commons.

You should not be promoting the use of using one vial for multiple uses. There is no preservative in these vials so you run a massive risk of A: infection from bacteria and B: it's effectiveness isn't the same. it's also not approved by Eli Lilly either.

If you get 15 mg vial and need to split it , how many times can use the same vial after opening?

Do we have to transfer the vial content to another one with BC water or can use same vial multiple times as long as left in fridge and using new needles?

I was told no matter what is the power or concentration of tirzepatide in a vial, whether 2,5mg or 15mg, that I always have to take the whole vial, as it does not contain any preservation agents in it, so after an hour after the vial is once stabbed through by a needle, there is a high risk of bacteria contamination…

$77 is a dream ...

TLDR: Semaglutide (Ozempic) is a medication that can help lower weight and sugar levels, reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke, and comes with a sample pack for easy injection. 00:00 💉 Semaglutide (Ozempic) is a drug that helps lower weight and sugar, reduces risk of heart attack and stroke, and comes in a sample pack with a pen and needle tips for injection. 00:45 💉 Screw on the needle, dial up to 0.5 milligrams, press the grey end and hold for six seconds to administer the medication. 01:40 💉 Start with a 0.25mg dose of Ozempic once a week, and use the clicks on the pen to adjust the dosage. 02:12 💉 Push the button for six seconds, then put the needle back in its lid without touching it, and you can use it a couple of times before changing the needle. 02:43 🤢 Take a small dose of Semaglutide, wait a week, increase the dose, and repeat if no nausea. 03:12 👩‍⚕ Gradually increase the dose of Semaglutide injection over several weeks to minimize side effects.

❤combining this drug with tolimidone may give excellent anti diabetic treatment

Thanks for the info. Doc. One legged Steve. 🤔

looks great! congrats bcdiabetes team :).

just got switched from Levemir to this. I've been using basalgar since march 1. the only problem i have with it is, i am severely visually impaired, and i rely on the clicks when i inject as an indicater, when injecting my insulin. this basalgar seems to be silent. this means i have to pull it out, check to see if i have administered the whole dosage required, and if its not totally given the dose i have asked for, i have to inject again. 🤔

What units for 5mg instead of 15mg that you listed. Would i just cut the units down to 1/3 ??

My pens keep malfunctioning. I wish I knew what I’m doing wrong.

Wow everyone has a cure but nobody can get there hands on it. Sernova Corp has several people in there study that are insulin free for I believe over 2 years now

I was there for first meeting, not quite impressed. Dr. didn't even sit and just said " I agree with your case manager" and left. Quite disappointed. I didn't come back. The case manager didn't introduce himself, I had to ask. He didn't even take and read the 3 pages questionnaire info sheets I filled up at home. Happy for those with good experience with BC Diabetes.

More shorts, please. signed, your T2D patient with A.D.D. ☺️

Such great info. Thank you

Thank you so much for this amazing informative video!

I'm starting it today after much hesitation yet watching the progress, the understanding, the public response for over 2 years. If it does cause nausea with delayed stomach emptying (what it was designed to do), it would certainly stop one eating. My endocrinologist offered it 8 months ago, my doctor also but i was sceptical. Since being a diet Queen most of my life, including lapband surgery over a decade ago, i went on an odyssey this year of nutrigenome and microbiome testing, bloods, naturapath, to understand myself, my inner workings. An anti inflammatory mediterranean diet was the end result. Perfect, delicious, inflammation reducing, but with ravenous hunger due to the carbs. Exercise 3 times per week, physiotherapy, walking, all good yet the weight unshakeable. Keto, my go to for decades rarely lost much weight but reduced my appetite, it however caused inflammatory responses. Yes, "eat less," you say, and all true but life is unbearable at 1,000 calories, or 20 grams of carbs, or continuous monitoring what goes in the mouth, forever. So let's try the ozempic, nothing to loose at this stage except perhaps weight.

Dr Elliott, I’m a Type 1 Diabetic living in Ontario. Do you have any insight into why Lyumjev insulin, which was approved by Health Canada in 2021, is still not available for sale in Canada? Thanks!

Thank you for sharing about the desperate reality of being a diabetic senior on a fixed income. I have learned more about the costs and outcomes for type 1 or type 2 on insulin and also about research and new products from BC Diabetes ….even though I now live in Alberta. I am at a loss as to what to say to Michelle, as it is obvious she needs diabetic supplies and medication. Please everyone, sign the petition.

As a disabled senior I get no real help at all covering my diabetic supplies, my deductable is 1000 dollars a year. So I just cover needles and insulin, I can't afford to keep abreast of my blood sugars. I know I should but I can;t afford it. Dix says we have the best coverage???? ROLF if I lived in Ontario my scripts would be 3.99 each instead I spend 100 dollars more than that. Because I haven't been able to properly maintain my diabetes in years I also now have Stage 3 kidney disease. So MR Dix, it is pretty to pay for preventative treatment or pay more for my complications.... or do you just want me to die so I don't cost you anything?????

Thank you 😊

Dr. Elliott is a rebel WITH a cause!

I haven't been able to get my hands on Ozempic for over two months. Dr. Elliott switched me over to Mounjaro a month ago but my extended med. doesn't cover it yet. I've gained over 450 lbs because of this!

Er Ma Gawd?! Did everyone take experimental medications or something?

Thought I saw a long roll of ganja by Dr. Elliot's mouse 🤟🤟🤟

When it comes to the cost of the OmniPod, it is 100% a case of the company absolutely r@ping the Canadian government and taxpayers. The same PDM which Canadians pay $6000+ for can be had in most other countries for ~$500. However they have designed it such that if you purchase a PDM from another country you can't buy the Pods in Canada. The only reason the PDM is $6000+ in Canada is because when they came in, later to the game than other existing pump companies, they simply charged as much as everyone else was charging, since the government was already covering pumps in some provinces. The big difference, of course, is that with OmniPod you're still paying $300 for the pods. And the PDM is such an utterly cheap piece of garbage you'd think it came out of a cereal box. Unfortunately it's still the best option for those that want to pump without tubes.

Just heard about this project and super excited about it! Looking at setting my wife(20+ years T1D), who is currently using the Omnipod DASH and Dexcom G6 (switching soon to G7). At what point do you think we'll see the ability to make use of the incredible computing power of the iPhone's machine learning capabilities?

People eating a carnivore diet are not “starving themselves”. Quite the opposite.

Fantastic!! It would be wonderful if this type of education and support spread across Canada. BC Diabetes care is so far ahead. I would be thrilled if NB would promote looping. We aren’t looping because of costs and because we don’t have the support for it.

Oct 28 Cochrane Ab. The Walmart Pharmacy is out of Ozempic the medication I take for Diabetes. They kindly sent my prescription over to another pharmacy and they will fill a 2 week supply. I am grateful that the pharmacies are working together to ensure there is a continual supply of medication and not suddenly thrown into a health crisis. I hope everyone who has a prescription for this drug never has to go without. I asked what will happen when I reorder? The answer was - if they were out, my prescription would be forwarded to which ever Cochrane Pharmacy had a supply. Liz van Schilt

No!!! Do NOT use the needle more than once. Bad advice.

Congratulations.

SUPER client of the month! Clap, clap, clap!

I just received my cgm and I'm nervous to start. Friday after work is my start date.

What an inspiration!

Never, ever re-use needles for any reason. Look at magnified photos of needles being re-used in sequence - it's horrifying. Plus, diabetics should NEVER tempt fate with regard to infection.

Circle of care indeed. Helped me tremendously in managing & lowering my condition. Are there for me when needed. Gave me confidence

Thank you so very much. My doctor's nurse just called and told me I would have to start on insulin. No directions on how to do it. I am all alone since my husband died, and was terrified of doing this incorrectly. You saved me. Thank you again.

Ozempic is a terrible drug. I stopped taking it…wish I never took it.

Thank you

Dr.Elliott is really charming!

Promo SM

Can you use it with Tsimshian?

Which pen is suitable for basaglar? Lilly company pen- humapen ergo it is compatible with it?
