It's actually Trulicity that I am starting, had my first injection yesterday hopefully I won't get any side effects, thank you all for responding, I shall buy Imodium just in case

I understand diarrhoea can be a side effect of medication, I also understand I may not get it but in a couple of weeks we are going on a coach trip, if I should get this unpleasant side effect, will Imodium help me

It makes me wonder what happens to people who only have a DN giving out this advice, no access to a forum of real experts, and yes if I settle for readings of 10s what about my health in years to come... I agree with all that has been said and will continue with my goal of getting blood sugars...

At the end of last year my DN changed my medication to Alogliptin, saying if it didn't work she would prescribe me Trulicity, I'd been struggling with my numbers even though l am low carbing, I'm still struggling and not happy with my blood sugars ,a couple of hours after eating it's 9's and...

To be honest I think if I look at a carb my BS goes up , and I'm being serious....I will start and test before a meal I will also go back to basics and keep a food diary, I do avoid all starchy carbs but I'm going to have to look at everything I eat now [emoji20]

If I so much as sniff a carb my BS rises, I take one Dapagliflozin daily I cannot take Metformin, I don't eat any obvious carbs, I make a point of researching low carb meals and bakes, I lose no or very little weight, I do eat cheese, nuts, eggs, meat, vegetables , berries , I drink flavoured...

But it tastes good:) you would think at my age I'd read a list of ingredients, looking at these I'm horrified....another lesson learned

Thanks everybody you're a great help , I really appreciate your comments, I'll be trying new drinks and testing for the near future x

I am totally low carbing, I take 1 Dapagliflozin daily but still struggle to keep my BG under 7, today I had a roast turkey dinner no potato, no Yorkshire just meat and veg and about a tablespoon of thin gravy, two hours later my blood test was 8.8 once again I was so disappointed, but before...

I'm not sure if it was hba1c, and he can't really remember if she said, he thinks it might have been, I tested his blood before dinner it was 5.8 I'll check again at 8.30, I don't really want to go against medical advice but maybe we can see for a few days what happens, at this stage I'm not...

I am type 2 and have learned an awful lot on this forum, I understand that different foods affect different people in different ways, I for one am best with very low carbs, my DN suggested I should eat porridge for breakfast the first time I did my blood sugar was 15 after 2 hours so I know I...
