I am ecstatic :)

Good Morning, Rachox Thanks for your reply. I have been without Rybelsus since July 2023 when the shortages hit here. I noticed a steady decline in my blood readings from the removal - numbers did lower with the introduction of Jardiance - but the thrush is just too much. Fast forward to...

Hi, I was on Rybelsus and doing very well on it - I started on 3mg and gradually, over 6 months titrated up to 14mg. My A1c went from 79 and it slipped all the way down to 51 - usual readings of between 6-8 - then the shortage happened! Diabetics could not get the meds they needed because...

Hi @ianf0ster With the GP thing, I am still awaiting further clarification from the Practice Manager as to whether I can stay there or not. I want to (despite the current treatment by them) The previous diabetes meds were incompatible hence the move to different brands. All symptoms were...

Hi @Outlier Thanks for the reply. I have been on Lanso for a looooonnnnngggggg time, never had any issues previously. I am hoping that this is still the case, as the other symptoms are all new since the onset of using the higher dose of Rybelsus. I need the lanso, otherwise I get...

Hello All ***Long Post Alert*** Firstly I am a 54yr old female. After about 7 years of flirting with T2D, I tipped over the level of 47 in February 2020. I kinda got forgotten about as Corona arrived and Doctors had bigger fish to fry. Anyway, I got picked up again in October 2020...
