Hello I am possibly asking the impossible. But knowledge is power they say. I am diabetic type 2 in my 70s.
I have under active thyroid.
I am very overweight.
However up till now have been able to keep HBA1C at a reasonable level last one was 53 mmols.
Currently takin Metformin Levoxythyroxine blood pressure pil
and type of statin.
I am due a HBA1C test soon. I know and have heard of these injections ozempic wegovy I think they are called.
(I have also heard that if stopped weight goes back on )
I am a person who probably would say No Thanks even if offered,
I have had a reaction I did not like when put on Gliclazide at one point. One brand of Metformin really upset my stomach.
Most brands of Metformin are ok, but I know that long term use
can cause issues.
I am not sure if my HBA1C will be reasonable this test,it may be age or the under active thyroid recently not felt as well, so I want to be prepared but not just accept standard procedure.
I half expect an increase in Metformin or if HBA1C is off a possible
you need to go on insulin, or even you qualify for ozempic or wegovy.
I check blood sugars try to do Low Carb. Obviously it would be nice beneficial to lose weight. But bit like the Gliclazide I do not think
I would find it alright for me. Am I being too negative, if insulin was
needed if that would mean I could come off or reduce Metformin even better I could go with that. I maybe being pessimistic about HBA1C result but would appreciate what others think.
Last HBA1C. 53. Possibly my Thyroid needs a recheck. Seeing Diabetic Nurse possibly in next 3 weeks.
