I know it all seems crazy to me. I’ve got a call with a GP to discuss this now. My Ketones are 0.5 this morning so that is better. I had some bloods recently and my kidneys and liver are all good so at least I know that. I disagree with these injections being used for weight loss. They are too...

Really odd. Saw the doctor blood ketones 1.2 mmol. Urine ketones 6mmol. Went back after two hours ate carbs. Urine same. Blood 0.4mmol so he was ok with that. I used my strips and his for urine and we both got the same.

Hi. They are 8 mmol this morning [emoji85]. I’ve just called 111 and a doctor is calling me back

Thank you

Ok thank you

Today I’m starting a low carb diet. My blood sugar has been awful. I’m on trulicity 0.75 and Jardinance 10mg I’ve just tried out a keto urine strip and it’s showing ketones as 1.5mmol. My blood sugar is 8.4mmol. I’m very poorly with long covid and fatigue at the moment. Is the ketone and...

Try to see if you can get a low dose of Trazadone I’ve been on it and it helps.

Hello. Glad I found this forum post. I’m feeling a bit alone and helpless. Had covid 5 weeks ago and although had 3 jabs and it being my first time I was super poorly with it. The week after I had a bacterial lung infection and having asthma was put onto steroids and antibiotics. I’m still so so...

It does increase insulin also been told it can repair beta cells. Most get appetite reduction due to slower digestion of food. Been on it three months bmi 22 now and I can’t eat a lot. My hba1c has dropped to 38. It was as high as 86 last year Was 56in Feb went on victoza but side effects were...

Thank you. I feel like death on victoza and I can’t do low carb I tried it. I don’t like meat it’s almost impossible. I can’t stay on victoza though but love the weight loss.

That’s good to hear. Been on victoza for 4 months and need to come off because of the horrendous fatigue I’m getting. I will end up on insulin but worried about all the weight I’ve lost. Have you managed to keep it off still.

So you stopped victoza and started humblin m3 put on weight then lost it. Sorry I’m a bit confused. I want to come off victoza I can’t deal with the fatigue

4 months in and I’m considering coming off. I can’t deal with the extreme fatigue I get. It’s making me feel so poorly. Hba1c was 44 so amazing and I’ve lost 17ib. 11ib to get to 10st my goal but the fatigue is not pleasant at all and I’m struggling so much. Had full bloods done and all clear too.

So I’m on canaflagozin 300mg and 4 x 500mg of metformin daily. I’m T2 41yrs old diagnosed 6 years ago with a perfect weight didn’t drink or smoke and ran half marathons. I have a new doc very clued up and I’ve asked for insulin to enable a tighter control on my BS. He agreed and gave me the...

Thanks I’m mainly a vegetarian so keto is so so hard for me to maintain. Maybe vegan will be raised. I found keto made me vomit badly when I had carbs again. I couldn’t sustain it then binged on bad carbs for months after and put on more weight than I had lost.

An American lady has told me about this program it’s high carb but plant based and low fat. Anyone tried it? It’s the opposite of keto that made me very poorly

I’ve been on gliclazide for a week tomorrow and today I called my doctors and I’ve refused to take it as from my first day I’ve been feeling drained. I’m sleeping enough eating well nothing else has changed but I just can’t deal with feeling so lethargic. It’s affecting my work as I’m getting...

Thanks all. Your posts have helped lots. I’ve been to the doctors my hba1c is 80. So I am now on metformin and glicozide which i want to try out. Today my bg dropped to 5 which is unheard of for me and I felt shaky but I think it’s just me getting used to it. I’m reducing sugar and bad carbs...

I started this drug on Tuesday felt sick and poorly on the first day. Stomach has been fine since but today I went really weak and I’m exhausted my BG was 5 which isn’t dangerous but I was feeling like I was having a hypo. Had some cake to bring it back up. It’s been running high at around 15 so...

Well thought I would ask for some support. You're all such a good bunch on here when I have my head out of the sand and I want to communicate with like-minded people. Last August I did the 800 cal a day low carb diet, like everything in my life I went all or nothing at it and I went all at...
