On Semaglutide and blood sugars very well controlled on it. Can’t see me being able to come off it due to not changing to low carb diet. Try to exercise as much as possible. And healthy weight. I’ve read most diabetics will need insulin after 10/15 years. Is this true?

Or will it bounce back up if I come off it? Thanks

Looking at libre my levels spike up and down throughout the day and night. They never go beyond 8/9 but they are still going up and down. Is this normal? I’m hoping to come off Semaglutide soon.

They look significant spikes on the libre. I eat carbs but not a huge amount but there’s still big spikes after eating. Does this mean my diabetes is not well controlled? Thanks

Hi, I have a libre and it shows my fasting levels are around 5.6. I have been taking Ozempic for a year. I’m also getting hypos after eating meals. Do you think I’ll be able to come off Ozempic anytime soon? Thanks for your input.

Not sure if you write it as 8mmol/L but anyway…..if you go up to an 8 and never go over after eating is this good. I know there is room for improvement like cutting down on cereal bars, porridge, chips…but if 8 isn’t too bad I thought I could just cut down on the portion sizes to get that bumper...

According to libre this had less of an impact on my blood sugar than stir fry and noodles. How can this be?

I saw something on Instagram that said if you pair a banana with peanut butter it’s not as bad for you as just a banana and egg bites with a latte is not as bad as a latte on its own? How does this work?

So is it important to keep blood sugar under 6 when not eating? Is it important to keep it as steady as possible? Is it ok if it fluctuates between 3.5 and 6 when not eating? What should I do (if anything) if it goes under 4? What can I do if it hits 8? Should I exclude all food that makes me...

I have just attached a new sensor but I’m unsure how to get max use out of libre cgm. Any tips? Thanks

I’m fairly new to diabetes diagnosis and nobody has told me when to take readings so I’ve got no idea. I have a libre.

I’m looking for a basic book to introduce me to diabetes 2. At this stage not looking for recipes or similar focus on diet change etc. I’m starting to panic because I’ve just learned diabetes is not reversible :( thanks

If you are receiving Ozempic and have been for the last 10 months? How do you know when it’s time to come off it?

Should I cut as much sugar out of my diet as possible and will this resolve my diabetes? I have been taking Ozempic for about 9 months and I have lost 3 stone in weight since diagnosis. Now I’m approximately 2 stone overweight. Is it guaranteed that I’ll reverse diabetes?

I’m currently taking Ozempic but I’ve read pregnant people need insulin is this correct? Would it be possible to have an insulin pump if this is the case? Thanks
