Hi I’m Graeme

Been a type2 diabetic for 23 years, have managed to control with diet and pills. Last blood and urine test all good and all levels within acceptable ranges and perfect blood pressure. I am one month short of 67 (still feel 25! ) Have lost 2 stone this year through avoiding as many carbs as possible and very limited alcohol. Now down to 12 stone which puts my bmi in the good range and I exercise on home gym equipment regularly. Unfortunately my sugar levels - average around 8.0. I’m on Metformin, Gliclazide, Ramipril, Asprin, Aroevastatin & Sitagliptin. Now I have been put on the Trulicity pens with no reduction in the pills I take. Is this common? Read up on all the side effects of this pen so let’s see how it goes!
