I'm on 1mg injections and have been having supply problems for quite a while now, looks like it's not just the UK. Just wondering what other people in the same situation are doing.

I have been unable to get my prescription of Semaglutide filled for some time now, and it appears this is a worldwide shortage. I’m also on slow release insulin, can I compensate for the lack of Semaglutide by upping my insulin?

Not every time, but often.

I have been on Bydureon for over 6 months now and it is doing a great job at keeping my BS down. I inject around my tummy, however I have little body fat so try to pinch a little fat for the injection and i do get the expected lumps, which do not bother me. Recently, however, I have noticed a...

Mine came this morning too

Dookie, prior to going onto bydureon, my bloods were typically around 8-11, whereas now I'm around 6.

Hi, I was recently put on weekly, (bydureon) injections, instead of Linagliptin, still taking metformin. I inject on Saturday mornings, in my stomach area. The only side effect is small lumps under the skin, (which is quite common). So far my BS has come down a little, compared to with...

I always have a grilled breakfast, I use a cast iron griddle, so any fat is left behind. Works for sausages, bacon, mushrooms and tomatoes, I have a dry fried egg, so again no fat there.

Robbie, same here, completed it, but at the end there was no confirmation of receiving said £30, or timescale.

Just returned and they have replaced my linagliptin with bydureon, by epipen, once a week.

Sirmione, that's what I'm trying to do, but difficult to stick to, incidentally, my diabetic nurse has never heard of the LCHF diet! Daibell, BMI is 27,(5'9", 13 1/2 stone), however ,I personally don't think that really tells you much, I exercise moderately and have a 32" waist. As far as late...

I typically got 6.5 - 8, but now it's usually i double figures, averaging around 11, no other changes, ie diet and exercise the same. Jo, as I said, I used to be fine with my meds, but slowly my symptoms have returned. I also have regular blood tests and my last one showed an increase in BS...

Yes I do self test and I have noticed a slight increase, but nothing major. I have also altered my diet, leaning more towards the LCHF, but not totally. My diagnosis was by chance too, after I had a foot problem and was advised to take a test.

Hi, i have been a diagnosed type 2 for just over a year now, (initial BS reading of 24), I was initially put on 2000 mg of metformin, which my stomach never took too, switched to SR, which helped. After a few months of feeling great, my symptoms slowly began to return, great thirst, especially...

Popping in to the doctors tomorrow to pick a copy of my test results, so will update when I have them.

Sorry Rod, no printout, it's just from memory of what I saw on the screen. My main concern though is what the statins are doing to my BS.

I've been diagnosed type 2 for 6 months now and have been keeping my BS in the 6-7 range, adopting the LHCF diet has helped, (Initial reading of 24 200MG slow release metformin a day) My cholesterol was high, 30. I know high cholesterol goes with diabetes, but still very high. I had a fasting...

Ok, readings for today are: 6:37 am, 9.3 breakfast of 2 grilled sausages, grilled mushrooms, poached egg, coffee with cream. 12:45 7.2 lunch was spinach and 3 bean salad, with olives and tuna, boiled egg, little bit of french dressing, coffee with cream. 15:45, (2 hours after lunch), 8.8.

I'm 52, but my nurse reckons I've been diabetic for about 5 years. It all adds up too, I have many of the symptoms for years, such as peeing more frequently, drinking lots of water, tiredness, particularly after eating and a raging appetite.

Ok, my only comment would be how my doctor, (or diabetes nurse) reacts to me asking for specific tests, for example they had never heard of the LCHF diet!
