Yes its been a little flurry of good things going my way and being honest im not used to it . Life has taught me not to be an overly optimistic type as iv frequently snatched defeat from the jaws of victory but just had my yearly face to face with nurse at Dermatology since my post this morning...

Cheers to you and the others above.. If those numbers can help show its not a straight line getting to your goal then thats great. Think its a case of not getting over giddy with the good moments but not getting overly despondent when the test result numbers are dissapointing. I still aim to...

Not posted in fair while but found this place a great help upon my diagnosis and first few years getting to grips with everything type2. Basically after the initial fear on being confirmed type 2 i went low carb and from a count of 124 got my numbers into the 50s. Then really hit a wall and...

Well I've still been going to the gym and eating more sensibly. Started the Mounjaro on the 6th and this has certainly suppressed appetite but for the first time since pre diagnosis and initial start of type 2 treatment got a problem with phimosis. Not the nicest subject but as my numbers...

Gym again today. Small steps but feel like im heading back to the right path.

Tbf the nurse did mention anti depressant but don't feel low to the extent of anything more than just generally lethargic and glass half empty rather than normal more positive outlook. Been to the gym today so that's a start in right direction. Not been in 10 week so certainly feeling it now. I...

I'm certainly hoping so. Thinking back to starting on Trulicity i was not hungry and generally felt good as exercising and everything that went with it. The weight slowly came down. Few year on im eating bigger portions often of the wrong things. Finding reasons not to go to the gym and...

Well it went OK really. Start on Mounjaro in couple of week when Trulicity runs out.Just looking into it now but seems similar drill as Trulicity. Start off on 2.5 then increase after month or so. Might just be the kick-start i need cos I'd certainly settled into a rut of poor habits.

Just quick note it says oral tablets on my bio but couldn't work out how to change it to Trulicity . Scratch that. Just worked it out.

Hy everyone. After my diagnosis with H1ac of 124 about 2018/19 got put on metformin which gave me terrible side effects with days not being able to go far from the loo. Then Sukkarto slow release which is bit better. I joined here and got great advice from some good folk who i notice are still...

Thanks. Iv been on 5mg rampiril for couple of year as they said my blood pressure was high. They've been happy with it last 18 month. Maybe the dose needs reducing?

Well I'm feeling bit better in general but have started experiencing slight dizzy/woozy feeling upon standing up. Having plenty of water so not that. Its only very minor but obviously it's not a great thing to be happening. Any thoughts? It's not all the time but probably 4 times this week

Well I've been testing twice a day and back in 6 -7 range already. Just from low carb. Haven't been to the gym this week as work hours made it impossible.Dropped a couple of pounds though.

I'm on Trulicity and have been for couple of year. Have you had a loss of appetite? I did for the first 6 month or so lost some weight then my body adapted and that welcome side effect faded. I'd suggest it's mostly your better diet that's brought this good drop.

Haven't had the loss of appetite that some say comes with Otezla but first 3 month had some dark moods and generally down which isn't my normal disposition. Thankfully seem to be through that now. Will tow the line and make right diet choices and see what the blood test in August says. Thanks .
