I am prescribed 2 medications for other conditions, both are described as raising blood glucose levels (Gabapentin and Lansoprizole) What difference do the make to blood glucose readings? What do I need to do to manage thos? Should I not worry? Thanks

I am absolutely fed up of ‘just being put on medication’ glicazide. I am on top dose and it is not being as affective as I would wish, but having said that I’m HUNGRY all the time…. I am a vegetarian and my diet has little highly processed food, BUT I’m hungry so will eat anything and everything...

Goodness another thought thank you. Are you or were you on any medication?

Thanks really helpful

Thanks for the apology.....there has been a great response from Brunneria, however I am interested to hear your opinion. Thanks

Thank you ,you have given me much to think about and is very helpful and supportive.

Sorry don’t understand this comment? Don’t mean to be dim.

I have been given the name of Professor Taylor at NewcastleUni as someone who is researching this. Although small scale (my understanding) the team have seen this group of people (diabetics T2 for more than 10 years)go into remission following very low calorie diets. They become medication free...

I have just purchased a set of 2 face masks and some handsanitiser. The quality of the face masses was very poor and unsuitable, the metal strip fell off even before I tried it on. The price of £19.99 made me imagine that these items were going to be far better quality than they are. They are...

Thank goodness as I ate 10! Think I shouldn’t have as very thirsty now and can’t think what else caused that. Very silly me but they were gorgeous.

How much carbohydrate were you eating? Did anyone advise you about what was a safe amount after the awful experience you had?

I am very pleased with the way in which Trulicity has brought down my blood glucose levels, however a comment made by my nurse made me think. She informed me that the way in which the drug works is to ‘squeeze’ my pancreas to produce the insulin needed to manage my glucose levels. I understand...

You are correct - there is no spoon! It is me who needs to change and this is what I have done. I have endured 10 years of poor blood sugar regulation, worked hard at trying to control it via diet and exercise, medications. Nothing has worked until this medication. I began this medication with...

I think I have confused my situation to you. I didn’t give you the full picture so apologies. I am very happy with Trulicity and after 3 months HBCA1 results almost normal, but wishing to go that step further I wondered about low carb diet and if there was any indication that going v low carb...

I am trying to follow a low carb diet but seem to remember a warning about not eating sufficient carbs when using this medication? Has anyone had an experience or knowledge of this please? And what is a sufficient number of carbs? Thanks

Today I have received my 3 months review results HBA1C 53 down from 71 . AMAZING 3 months on Trulicity (or Dulaglutide) lost 1.5 stone and now I have a brain and it’s 10 years since I felt normal. I am sooooo happy. There are side effects but to be honest, being ME again is more important to...

Thank you for this. And I think I’ll give intermittent fasting a go... given your thoughts.
