Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone else is in the same boat as me. My GP put me on gliclazide and empagliflozin in November and since I have gained two stone, I go to the gym 5 times a week and try and go for a two mile walk every other day, I portion control all my food and I don't drink...

Well saw the specialist diabetes nurse few days ago after my GP referred me to see her !
Initially referred as my BM's are not coming down sufficiently enough as a type 2 !
So I am told to continue with Metaformin and Glicazide but start this weekly Trulicity injection.
Anyone been on all 3 of...
Hi All,
It's going to be a long one (sorry) but please bear with me...
I've had diabetes for a number of years and for those number of years have been in denial thinking my body would kick into gear and sort itself out. It didn't!
