I'm on the trial and had very similar side effects. I lost 2 stone and had to contact them as the weight loss was unsustainable at randomisation they have my dose from 14mg to 7mg. I temporarily came off the tablets due to feeling unwell and having a Urinary infection. When I returned to the...

Hi Welcome to the forums. I can't say I have TBH I have been on Metformin for at least 12 years and haven't noticed any discernible loss apart from the normal age related loss. Side effects can affect us all differently though, it isn't a listed side effect on the NHS app but other members may...

Hi Welcome to the forums have you considered the Ascend Plus trial https://www.ascend-plus-trial.org/ They are conducting a 5 year drug trial looking into giving type 2 diabetics a tablet form of the Wegovy, the actual drug name is Semaglutide and it works as an appetite suppressant. The trial...

Post randomisation and I am pretty certain I am on semaglutide as the taste of the tablets is just the same as before. Before Christmas felt really unwell and developed a water infection that is still ongoing and after every course of antibiotics it just reoccurs after a couple of days. I am...

Hi I was put on combi 25 insulin around 7 years ago after my tablet form of control stopped working very well. TBH i haven't looked back, I had a few issues to start with as my diabetic practise nurse didn't explain very well about injecting enough insulin to counter my food intake. So the...

I found it took about a week or so to feel the effects of taking the tablets, then a couple of weeks to get used to it. Then the dose is doubled and it took me a few weeks to get used the higher dose.

Hi Westley, Maybe use an online pharmacy to deliver your meds. My needles are specified on my repeat prescription and I use Pharmacy2u

Start of week 10 I have just completed the end of randomisation survey, so I guess I will be receiving my randomised tablets shortly. I like everyone else hope I am on the real tablets, although not looking forward to going up to 14mg and back to having side effects. Some of the survey...

Start of week 8 My weight has continued to fall I'm now down to 12st 8lb if I loose 1lb that will be my goal weight. I need to figure out how to introduce more calories into my diet whilst still feeling like I don't want to eat due to the semaglutide. My blood sugars have gone up but I have had...

Hi Natalia, Welcome to the forum Unexpected or unintended weight loss can quite often be a symptom of unmanaged diabetes, both type 1 and type 2.

It sounds like you may be having what was described to me as a liver dump, your body is trying to help you as it has realised your blood sugars have dropped so releases glycogen into your blood stream to compensate.

Start of Week 7 Appetite seems to be better but still not back to normal and feeling full after a meal is still persisting, if i have a sandwich or light lunch I do not want to have an evening meal. Which is resulting in further weight loss, now down to 12st 12lb this morning which is another...

Start of week 6 Started my 2 month supply of 7mg tablets this week, gone back to mild queasiness, reduced appetite and still burping a lot, also noticed a reduction in bowel movements. I'm in no discomfort but can go 4 or 5 days without going to the loo, I'm not sure if this down to a reduction...

Start of week 5 Continued to keep bringing up wind and appetite is ok if not a little subdued. still feel full part way through a meal and not wanting to eat for quite a long period of time after eating . Blood sugars are remaining low averaging around 6mmol, not sure if this is due to reduce...

Start of week 4 Hi, Over the past week my queasiness went and my appetite came back although not to pre trial levels, still belching and bringing up wind though. My blood sugars are still good around the 6 to 7 mark and no more hypos, thankfully, as i have now adjusted my insulin to the food...

Start of week 3 Hi I started the trial 2 weeks ago so I am on my third week of 3mg, I had no side affects for the first week then started to feel queazy, belching and gone off food. sometimes feel a little light head and mild headache but i guess that is due to not eating. I am forcing myself...

I was diagnosed type2 about 9 years ago and gradually the oral meds stopped working until 4 months ago had a really bad chest infection and couldn't throw it off, turned out I had a HbA1c of 120 and my imune system was struggling. It was sugested that the meds weren't working and would i...

I was told at the time that there was a batch withdrawn for some reason. Hope you get on ok. I'm on combi25. I was put on it about 4 months ago my hba1c was 39 last week so very happy with it.

Supply is ok now.
