@Skippy1 - that's fantastic news! Are you able to shed some more light on your kidney damage and what medications you were on prior? My current eGFR is around 40 so I have moderate kidney damage. I'm on Invokana, Janumet (contains 1000mg metmorfin) and Glicazide. What dose of Ozempic are you on...

I'm soon to have a discussion with the GP but want to get other peoples views first. From using the Libre Senor I've realized that my blood sugar seems to be the highest after my afternoon meal (probably because it contains the most carbs). Although I'm slowly trying to reduce my carb intake...

Would be good to understand if there are any requirement in order to be put on this drug, do you have to be overweight to begin with?

Firstly I want to note that I understand any changes to my medication will need to be discussed with my GP, but I thought I'd get some opinions from people who have been through similar scenarios. I've been a diabetic for over 20 years, my last blood test showed a hba1c of 72 and since then...

Many Thanks! I'd say between 10-15 years.

Looking for some advice on statins, I'm currently on Atorvastatin 40mg and these were my recently blood test results: HbA1c: 72 (made some major diet changes since) Triglycerides: 1.7 HDL: 1.2 LDL: 1.7 Cholesterol/HDL Ratio: 3.1 Serum Cholesterol: 3.7 Obviously any changes to medication I will...
