Changing the approach to type 2 diabetes treatment: A comparison of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and sulphonylureas across the continuum of care https://doi.org/10.1002/dmrr.3434 I am actually traveling to Belgium this weekend, but when I am back I can provide more. Hopefully will...

I will suggest trying the pharmacy first see if someone at home can send you a previous script. If you can' t get it then just try with a good diet! Best of luck

Just to give you more information on this Meloni AR, DeYoung MB, Lowe C, Parkes DG. GLP-1 receptor activated insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells: mechanism and glucose dependence. Diabetes Obes Metab. 2013 Jan;15(1):15-27. doi: 10.1111/j.1463-1326.2012.01663.x. Epub 2012 Aug 1. PMID...

100% tell you that insulin is not triggered constantly with GLP-1 agonist as in sulphonylureas. I have done a lot of literature reviews on GLP-1 agonists and my background is research. When you take GLP-1 agonist you don't get an instant reduction in blood sugar as you do with sulphonylureas. I...

It also stimulates insulin production and slows down gastric emptying. If you improve insulin production then you likely move glucose to organs that need it first and less circulating in the blood and less sugar to be converted to fat. Slowing down gastric emptying means you feel fuller for...

Thanks everyone for your input, very much appreciated!

Thanks, I know it induces insulin production but unlike sulphonylureas. Its effect is mainly triggered with meals, hence its advantage over sulphonylureas. But I believe most of the type 2 meds, in the long run, will not be suitable for Type 1.5. I will do as Antje77 suggests, do the C peptide...

Thanks so much. I had the impression that the result may be affected by meds. I get Dexcom G7 on prescription here in Ireland. I think it may be because I have been on insulin in the past (when I was pregnant). I have been using the CGM now to get a lot more clarity.

Thanks so much. I am booked to see my endocrinologist on the 29th of June. So maybe I will wait and discuss it with him. The background is the diagnosis of Gestational Diabetes at 25y/o and 30y/o, 23 weeks gestation the first time and 2nd by 18 weeks gestation. On insulin both times. Then...

I am thinking I may get a better response from a LADA forum. I have a quick question- If you are LADA, but previously treated as type 2, did you have to stop your medications before the C-peptide test? I want to do the C- peptide test and concerned GLP-1 agonist may give a false positive...

I thought ozempic side effects will be worse. The side effects gets better, been on it since 2019.

6.1:)

I was able to find an article about switching between brands of GLP-1 agonists and some evidence of improvement in HBA1C after the same. To update after increasing the dose of Victosa to 1.8mg the last last few days fasting glucose is now between 7-7.2. Anyway will discuss this with the...

contact your specialist nurse/endocrinologist There are many drugs in this category that u can use instead of Ozempic I am on Victosa daily dose, and Adlyxin is also a daily dose Trulicity and Bydureon are weekly if that's your preference
