I have now been without Semaglutide 7mg for nearly 5 weeks. Spoken to the Diabetic nurse and the pharmacy but just told there is a shortage. Apparently there is a national shortage of the drug to health club purchasing the drug for their weight loss clubs, anybody else having this issue??

I fully understand Riva and fully intend to do so but like many, getting an appointment just to talk to the Doctor is weeks, so I was asking if anybody else had had this same issue. I would consider myself intelligent enough to not to change the dosage of my medication just because somebody else...

Doctor put me on 10mg Dapagliflozin a day nearly a year ago now, in basic terms it makes you pee the sugar out of your body. A side affect of this for some people is Thrush and I am one of those people, so the doctor prescribed 150mg Fluconazole, this is a simple take one tablet job. But the...

Thanks all the replies, I am in the UK and it is not the cost of a monitor that has annoyed me about this. As per usual the doctors surgery has messed up the the appointments again having asked me to book a 3 month review (I can not remember the date of my last review which was in early 2020 so...

I received a letter this morning stating that my Annual Review is now due (have a 3 months review booked for the 13th Jan). But in the letter I have been advised to purchased my own blood pressure monitor and bring along 1 weeks resutls. Well that not going to happen on the 13th, but has anybody...

Here is a list of the foods I will eat (attached), no way is it the complete list but covers the marjority of what I eat . I miss bread, and have yet to find a replacement, I have tried various crispbreads etc. tried Bergen bread and those GI rolls from Lidls but have found that bread is just a...

OK let me rephrase, I don't stuff my face with McDonald, KFC, biscuits, fizzy drink etc. I try to eat sensible food and sensible amounts, obviously some part of my sensible eating is not working. I am a stress eater, when stressed I eat. I have been known to eat an entire (big) packet of...

Hi Rachox, don't know if I am being hard on myself or not but just feel so stupid over the issue. I am due a review in June. looks like it will be a bit early. I was intending to call the diabetes nurse today but I did not have chance. I am eating less, way less than I used to eat and eating...

4 weeks ago I was put on Trulicity, I was very weary of it as a) I hate injection and b) I was unsure about the listed side affects. In the end I went ahead with injecting (once a week) the medication until tonight. I normally inject in the leg (there no way I could inject my stomach and...

Well the bullet has been bitten, just had my first injection, lets see how we progress

Thanks for the insight guys, I guess I have to bite the bullet and try it for myself, think tomorrow will be injection day :(

Evening all, been a while since I have been on here and to be honest I have let diabetes treatment slip a bit. So the doctor has put me on some new medication which when I was first told about and then when I had my meeting with my diabetic nurse I felt OK about. I have been put on Trulicity...

Shopping in our local Lidls yesterday and I noticed they had a Recipes Book for Diabetics, it was only £2.50 so I picked it up. Seems to be a reprint of a German book (Lidls are German based), but what I like about the book is that is gives the K/cals & kJ, Protien, Fat and Carbohydrate per...

Doctor put me on them when I was diagnosed with T2, after about 3 months I developed a very painful Achilles muscle strain. After 12 months of pain I looked into the issue and found that one of the side affects of Satins was muscle strain, so I went back to the doctors with what I had found and...

Had to go for my annual eye test which included a retinopathy test a weeks ago today, result came back yesterday and I have background retinopathy. Now in its self it is not to bad (I understand what it means etc.) but I feel like somebody has kicked me in the delicates, I actually feel worse...

Thanks you kind lady, my power of searching seem to be lacking today :grumpy:

I was reading this forum about a week ago and there was a thread about bread bought in either Lidls or Aldi but I cant find the post now, I only looked in here (type 2 forum) I think which is why I am posting about it here, does anybody else remember it or am I going mad??

Thanks for all the reply, well I guess the feelings I had were not related to low bloody sugar. Mine was the fact that I became light headed and dizzy, not badly but noticeable, it pasted on both occasions after less than 30 seconds. Will keep an eye on it and report to the docs when I am next...

What are the signs of low blood sugar,?Can you tell by the way you feel if your blood sugar is low, is it similar for all those with type 2 or does it affect each person differently? I have had a couple of strange feelings and I don't know if they are related to diabetes or not. I was only able...
