I agree there is a distinctive taste to the tablet. I am 2 weeks into the randomisation and I still have this taste, my appetite has not returned and still have acid reflux so I think I am on the real thing.
Do they keep on changing the meds so sometimes you get the semiglutide and other times the placebo or are you kept on the same throughout the trial. I did read that the trial could last for 5 years2 weeks into the Randomised tablets.
I think I am on Semaglutide, not the placebo.
Lost another 1kg in weight.
Appetite is still suppressed.
An hour after taking the tablet, can't face a morning cuppa or toast (feelings of nausea) so it isn't until late morning or early afternoon before I have a snack.
I will see what my BG levels are in a few months, when I request a blood test, and if still dropping will seek a medication review to reduce my Metformin dosage and/or stop the sitagliptin.
I believe once you start on the randomised tablets, you will stay on whatever you were given (either Semaglutide or the placebo) as otherwise they cannot measure the outcome of the trial.Do they keep on changing the meds so sometimes you get the semiglutide and other times the placebo or are you kept on the same throughout the trial.

Are these the randomisation tablets?It seems strange. The last bottle I took didn't seem to do anything. Yet the bottle this month bloods dropped more and have lost a little more.
Yes they are. Nearly at the end of the first box....Are these the randomisation tablets?
If so, I think you may be on the Semaglutide and not the placebo, and your body may just be settling into the medication.
I have had a quick look at the trial documentation, and it confirms that once you start the randomisation stage, you will remain in the same (Semaglutide or placebo) for the rest of the trial.
I attach a copy of the PIL, paragraph 3 on page 13 is where I got the information from (web link for the downladable document is https://www.ascend-plus-trial.org/files/ascend-plus-pil_full-a4_v-1-3_rgb-for-web.pdf)
Hope that helps, your results look promising.
I''m sorry your mum's had a stroke @theresaxx . I hope it's a mild one, and she recovers well. Take care of yourself. Sending virtual hugs xxWell into 1st bottle randomised tablets, no bitter taste blood glucose levels creeping up slowly but I am stressed as my mum has had a stroke and I did have a couple of days eating things I shouldn’t (son’s 30th)
I think I am on placebo but hoping that the above reasons are causing the increase sugar levels.
Hope everyone is doing well
