Yes, I am on placebo very disappointed as my blood sugars were down a lot. I cannot get NHS doctors to prescribe as I am not in any way overweight and it’s only allowed for overweight people sadly. Been on placebo around a year blood glucose up through roof.

I am also on placebo, blood glucose was great on run in tablets, I definitely do not need to lose weight, I lost around 4lb on run in tablets so not too bad. I feel so frustrated to know there is a medication that will help me but it’s not available to diabetics via GP especially if you have no...

Hi all great to read all your feedback, I am definitely on placebo blood sugars went straight up when I came off trial. I personally had no side effects on the run in pills and blood sugars were 5 - 6 mmol now 9 - 10 mmol or occasionally higher. I asked GP to prescribe Semaglutide but no was...

Sorry to hear you had such a bad reaction, everyone seems to react differently. I had no adverse reaction except losing about 3lb in weight over the 3 months. I actually felt better more energy acid reflux got better, blood glucose level went down massively. I am now on placebo and blood glucose...

I think this is the part of diabetes that isn’t understood or talked about the tiredness, the feeling everything is a struggle to do, the can’t be bothered feeling, diabetes type 2 changes you in so many ways. The change in my life and how I felt was the reason I asked to be tested 14 years ago...

Just to add my blood glucose hba1c before the trial was 70 after the run in 53 and 3 months on placebo 56. I felt so much better when I was on the run in trial tablets, I had so much more energy and brighter, the only downside was the weight loss. I will keep following the messages on here it...

As expected since HbA1C has gone back up. Definitely on placebo [emoji20]

I believe I am on Placebo disappointed as run in tablets really brought down my HbA1C. I had no side effects at all, lost bit weight approximately 6lb that was only downside for me. Blood glucose definitely gone up according to finger prick tests. I am sticking with trial for now as when I...

I will continue for now as I was aware it was 50% chance I would be on placebo. It am disappointed as run in pills made such a difference to my glucose levels and I had 0 side effects. I now know there is something out there that works for me. I just hope that in the near future this medication...

Just wondering are your randomised tablets, tasteless?

Hi, I think I am on placebo as randomised tablets are tasteless, like you the run in tablets were bitter, blood sugars have gone up a bit too, but I have been on two holidays since being on randomised. During run in pills I had no side effects at all, only lost 3lb (which is good as do not have...

Well into 1st bottle randomised tablets, no bitter taste blood glucose levels creeping up slowly but I am stressed as my mum has had a stroke and I did have a couple of days eating things I shouldn’t (son’s 30th) I think I am on placebo but hoping that the above reasons are causing the increase...

Randomised tablets arrived today instructions say to start tomorrow. I still have 14 days of run in tablets left! Seems a waste but I will follow instructions and start randomisation tomorrow. I hope I am not on placebo as I have had excellent blood glucose levels on the run in tablets and 0...

Looked it up on internet and it says skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/semaglutide-oral-route/proper-use/drg-20492085

I had invitation letter, not sure if you can volunteer to join the trial.
