Interesting stuff. I’ve generally pushed to have most things de prescribed as my health / diabetes improved. If I don’t seem my CRP return to normal (the trend has been slightly elevated for a year) I’ll most likely scrap the low dose statin too! Will keep you posted

No problem. Some of the prescribing practice is geographical ie.different countries vary in their recommendations: NICE (UK) recommends statins for people with a 10-year CVD risk ≥10%, and more aggressive LDL targets in people with existing CVD or diabetes. American guidelines (ACC/AHA) focus...

I was diagnosed with T2 in 2016. I lost a little weight on diagnosis (from 17st to 15st) which helped but I couldn’t get lower. I had maxed out on 1g of Metformin and was on an escalating dose of dapagliflozin (which initially helped a little with weight loss). My GP practice doesn’t have...

Update - I’ve carried on self funding Mounjaro. I’m currently on 7.5mg with minimal side effect. Reflux is the main one so I’m taking Omeprazole which works well. I’ve lost 7kg. My time in range is 96% - 85% at 90 days which includes 3 weeks before I started the mounjaro. I’m off Metformin...

I’m on the 2.5mg starting dose and heading into week 3. I’d worked hard to get my BMI down to 28 from 32 but had become stuck. My A1c had dropped from 95 18months ago to 66 (8.2%) on Metformin and Dapagliflozin. My GP wouldn’t prescribe so I’ve paid for this (circa £200/month in the UK) Ive...

Mine has been supplied with needles. I purchased privately (my GP Practice insisted I had to take Orlostat first )- BMI had fallen from 32 to 28 but plateaued - A1c stubborn at 8.2% on Metformin and Dapagliflozin. I’ve been using a CGM to check impact at the start of this & 2 weeks in I’ve a...
