Diarrhea after each dose, especially in morning

Hi, I started Humalog in July. I’m up to 15 units per meal (less at lunch) and sudden diarrhea, which began with the lower dosages, has increased.

I’m tempted to go back to daily Victoza, which I took with no such effects. Then I went on weekly Ozempic, but that was a problem.

Would a different brand of insulin make a difference? Thank you all.

I’m also on Jardiance with no problems.

  1. Hi @mistyno! Welcome to our community 😀 I don't have personal experience with Humalog, Victoza or Ozempic at this time, but I'm looking forward to some of the other community members chiming in. I've attached a link that will take you to a collection of articles about medications and insulin used to treat type 2 diabetes that describe what each medication does along with possible side effects. This will be very useful to have when you visit your healthcare provider. Please reach out to us if you have any questions. Take care!- CJ (Community Moderator)
