    Anyone on the Ascend Plus trial?

    Yes, I am on placebo very disappointed as my blood sugars were down a lot. I cannot get NHS doctors to prescribe as I am not in any way overweight and it’s only allowed for overweight people sadly. Been on placebo around a year blood glucose up through roof.

    Anyone on the Ascend Plus trial?

    I am also on placebo, blood glucose was great on run in tablets, I definitely do not need to lose weight, I lost around 4lb on run in tablets so not too bad. I feel so frustrated to know there is a medication that will help me but it’s not available to diabetics via GP especially if you have no...

    Diabeto hatred

    I think this is the part of diabetes that isn’t understood or talked about the tiredness, the feeling everything is a struggle to do, the can’t be bothered feeling, diabetes type 2 changes you in so many ways. The change in my life and how I felt was the reason I asked to be tested 14 years ago...

    Anyone on the Ascend Plus trial?

    I will continue for now as I was aware it was 50% chance I would be on placebo. It am disappointed as run in pills made such a difference to my glucose levels and I had 0 side effects. I now know there is something out there that works for me. I just hope that in the near future this medication...

    Anyone on the Ascend Plus trial?

    Hi, I think I am on placebo as randomised tablets are tasteless, like you the run in tablets were bitter, blood sugars have gone up a bit too, but I have been on two holidays since being on randomised.
