Hi, I was on Ozempic and loved it! I react to most diabetic medications/injectables, but I was fine with Ozempic. I lost 2 st in weight and my blood sugars improved. However, the diabetic team won’t prescribe it for me now as I have mild diabetic retinopathy. I had this before I started...

Fab! Thank you so much! Xx

Thank you, Tricia xx

I just don’t like it. Wish I did!!

Thank you so much!

I’m vegetarian. I don’t eat meat as I don’t like it. Thank you for your suggestions - will check it out.

haha! Fingers crossed for both of us!!

Thank you so much for your reply. I do have weight to lose. I’ll check out the veggie link. Thanks again xx

Hi I’ve been T2 for nearly 20 years and have never been able to get my bs under control. I have been intolerant of every medication/injectable available with the exception of Ozempic, but I’m not allowed it anymore due to changes in the back of my eyes. I was under a specialist team but...

Hi Sarah That's what it says in the info leaflet, so I hope that's the case! That's good re the BS readings, but it's not good if it is making you feel ill. I'm on Metformin SR 2000 mg. I think Trulicity is probably my last med to try before insulin, so I hope it works and doesn't make me...

Hi Sarah Thanks so much for your reply. I'm sorry to hear you are having such horrible side-effects. I took my first injection yesterday afternoon and so far my appetite has decreased (which I'm happy about) but no other effects as yet. I am nervous due to the reactions I've had in the past...

Hi Is anyone here taking Trulicity injections? I've just had my first one. Just wondering if anyone has had success with it? I've tried Victoza before and was very ill, so a bit nervous. Thanks x

Hi, I've seen a few posts on her about people experiencing diabetic burnout but I have never accepted my diabetes, despite being diagnosed 15 years ago. My blood sugars have never been under control and although I try desperately to motivate myself, I just don't seem to be able to do it. I am...

Hi, I can completely relate to what you are saying. I have been diabetic for nearly 15 years and have had my head in the sand for most of that time. I now have the beginning of diabetic retinopathy, which fortunately can be reversed if I can get my blood sugars down. So you would think that...

Hi Daisy, this is really helpful! Thank you so much! I'm going to read up on the whole carb thing. I'm feeling more positive about attacking my blood sugars already. :)

Hi Purplepenguin, that's kind of where I'm at. I've buried my head in the sand for a long time and have realised the implications of doing this! I haven't heard of Dr. Bernsteins diet but it sounds like you're getting on ok with it. I have got a meter, I'm just rubbish at doing what I need to...

Hi Jaylee, thanks for taking the time to respond. I do have a meter and test daily. It's really my diet that I struggle with and finding medication that does the job and that I don't react to. It's interesting reading about carbs - I live on carbs virtually - probably where I'm going wrong...

Hi @DeefayR thank you for your reply. I'm looking forward to finding out how other people deal with things.
