Hba1c: 78 Hi I’m a type 2 diabetic and have been told I was a type 1 for 12 years (aged 26) and I’m nearly 41. Just had a letter stating that my latest diabetic eye screening showed signs of diabetic maculopathy and I’m petrified. They’re referring me to the hospital eye service. My fatigue...

Hi, Has anyone here had Covid? I’ve got it right now and I’m struggling with the symptoms. Major tiredness and spaced out etc, blocked nose and sore throat with cough. I felt I was getting better but I’m now on day 8 and feel like I’ve got the flu. I don’t have shortness of breath and my...

Hi all. I’m on 1mg weekly of ozempic and the diarreah has become almost unbearable. I feel like I’ve got food poisoning and I can’t even go for a walk without fear of a sudden onset. I’m gutted because this drug has helped me lose weight and gain good control. I’m also exhausted and barely eat...

Hi guys I’ve been on Ozempic for 3 months now, 5 weeks of which is on the 1mg dose. I’ve started to have explosive diarreah in the past 2 weeks, no warning, and it’s rather embarrassing [emoji15] I’ve had aches and pains and I’ve been extremely tired. I’ve spoke to the doctor and done a...

Hi, I’m an oddbod and wondered if anyone else is on what I’m on. Metformin x 2 daily (1000mg) Empagflozin 25mg x 1 daily Atorvastatin 20mg x 1 daily Insulin when needed Ozempic 0.5mg weekly. Levels still out of control and I’ve tried keto and low carb. Hoping the Ozempic works as I’m...

Hi. I’m a type 2, but I’m not 100% convinced as I was apparently a type 1 for 11 years (I feel like I’m in-between the two) and I am on: 25mg Empagliflozin x 1 a day Glucophage SR 1000mg tablets x 2 a day Levemier insulin 10 units x 2 a day Fiasp insulin with carb counting with each...

Hi guys. Well, I’ve been trying to stick to under 20g of carbs daily for 12 days now. Whenever I’ve had ketones I haven’t been happy about it because my bloody sugar levels are still through the roof. What’s worse is that I’ve spoke to my medical team and I’ve just got to wait for an...

Hi does anyone low carb on this drug? I’ve been advised against it but I was wondering if anyone does, and if so, how low is safe to go from experience? Thanks

Hey everyone. I stopped empa to do low carb and as close to keto as I can, and all I’m taking is Metformin. I’ve done some fasting last night and today, and I’ve had high levels ever since eating a chicken salad, followed by yoghurt and seeds. I then had 3 squares of Lindt 70% chocolate and...

Hi guys! Just wondered, I’m on day 3 of trying to lower my carbs to keto level (20g or under) Does this test result mean I’m in ketosis does anyone know? Thanks

Hi! I’m preparing to do low carb as soon as Trulicity wears off, but I wondered where is the best place to find low carb alternatives? Mainly I want low carb wraps and bread, but I’ve been to morrisons and not found a great deal. Any tips or advice welcomed! Thank you

Hi all, I’ve been here hundreds of times but things have changed (I used to be a type 1) Currently on Trulicity 0.75 weekly and Metformin 2000 and Empagflozin 10mg daily. I was on insulin, but nothing seems to bring my levels down and steady, you know? I’m looking back into low carb, but...

Hi! I was diagnosed 12 years ago as a type 1 and put on insulin. Levels were through the roof and I became insulin resistant. One bright doctor decided to do a c peptide test and he found that 12 years on, I was still producing what he said was ‘alot of my own insulin’ and mentioned the figure...

Hello everyone! I won’t bore you with where I’ve been over the past year, but I recently went back on Trulicity. Type 2: On Levemier x 2 a day (14 units each) Fiasp for carbs Jardiance 25mg daily Metformin slow release x 2 tablets (max dose) daily I’m tired and my levels are high or...

Hiiiii! Just a quick one. I'm currently on Fiasp for my fast acting insulin, Tresiba for long acting insulin and metformin. The doctor has asked for me to drop Fiasp, and introduce Victoza. I have tried trulicity and it made me so ill I had to stop, so i am trying this now. I'm...

Just a quickie. I've been on jardiance and I've just come off it yesterday. I've got intense muscle pain when I walk and if I run for the bus or anything my legs seize up- it's really bizarre. I mentioned it to the dsn and she noted it, just wondered if anyone else has experienced this...

Hi all. Me again! I had my diabetic review today with my dsn, I totally lost it...I'm so fed up. I'm being told there is no other treatment options for me despite higher levels...which makes me feel like I'm being left to die! Option 1- continue on jardiance and metformin and eat...

Just want someone to talk to who may know how i feel x

Hi all, long story short, was a type 1 for 11 years then they said I'm a type 2 as producing lots of my own insulin. They also say I'm insulin resistant, and took me off all my insulin in December leaving me on jardiance and metformin. Then I did keto, and ended up in a&e with high ketones and...

Out of interest, if anyone stopped trulicity due to side effects, how long after stopping it did you get well again? I'm really poorly, constant nausea, diarreah after two injections. The last one I took was a week ago. Speaking to my gp tomorrow as i still can't eat more than 2 rich tea...
