Does anyone have 3cpwrience if this programme? It's being heavily promoted with hard to resist marketing atm on social media. Before I succumb I'd like to know Is the programme any good? Have you personal experience of it? Thanks

Is there a way to buy a supply of CGM devices for less than £98 a month? The CGM has transformed management of my diabetes. My health is greatly improved and HbA1c is halved in 6 months. But I can't afford to buy more and they are not available on script. Anyone got a cheaper source than...

I'd be interested to hear thoughts on my current Blood Glucose levels..... In May this year I was prescribed Rybelsus 3mg and Metformin doubled to 2mg pd. Last week I increased Rybelsus to 7mg as 3mg are not available ATM. Every day since, I've had low BG levels at times during the night and...

My BG levels are lower than they used to be. Is this range ok? between 3.2 (dips at night sleeping) and 6 throughout the day. Sometimes it rises to 7.2 after a meal but drops back to 5+. I'm on rybelsus 7mg and Metformin 2mg. (Diabetic nurse doubled the daily dose in May). Should I stop or...

Can anyone tell me the cheapest CGM system I can get. I'm currently using Abbott Libre 2 which is £49 a fortnight. I can't afford this beyond next month so I'm looking for something cheaper. I'm Type 2 on 2mg Metformin aiming to keep control through diet alone. Thanks for your thoughts.

Is it possible to get this free for longer than 2 weeks? I'm not eligible to get this from my Doctor on prescription

Yes Rybelsus is a once a day tablet. There are side effects. The advice I was given by my Diabetes nurse was all semaglutide meds REQUIRE a life style change for it to work without difficult side effects. When I follow the "lifestyle changes" I have no issues. Eat smaller quantities at each meal...

So far today... Breakfast: small slice hm 100% rye bread, boiled egg, 4 cherry tomatoes raw, 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard and coffee with plant milk. Snack: 2 small hm salmon patties and 1 tsp miso in hot water to drink.

5.5. an extremely rare reading [emoji4]

What is the alternative drug you have now?

Me too. I have 5 days left and no prospect if any more. Rybelsus has been brilliant for me. My BG is down from a regular 10, 12,13 to 5.5 - 6.5 ! I have energy, concentration and awake! I'm really fearful of what will happen when in 5 days .... I don't want to lose the wellbeing I now have.

Thats great news what are you doing to achieve that?

Thanks for that update Jeremy. I took my 1st pill today. Hope I don't get nausea.

How are you getting on with Rybelsus? Mine arrived this morning. I've a bit of an upset tummy ATM so will wait for that to settle before starting.

Thanks everyone, for your responses. I was hoping to avoid the tedium. I think I simply have to accept I'll have to do the leg work myself and build my own resource.

Hi Friends Can anyone recommend a decent app that I can use to tot up my carbs to help me plan menus? Thanks

Oh!

I completely agree. It is a scandal that is causing people to become sicker, quicker and be without the CENTRAL mechanism for TAKING CONTROL OF OUR HEALTH. I've been told more than once by health professionals that I don't need to test. The culture of health professionals is to take control of...

5.4 this morning down from an average of 8! That's the lowest it's ever been since I was diagnosed 4 years ago. This achievement is entirely due to me controlling my carb intake. No more than 8g -10g per meal and no more than 40g a day.

Do you know the carb content for a portion of that?
