[QUOTE="JeremySE18, post: 2585045, member: 416439"] TL;DR - What are my chances of getting Ozempic or similar prescribed? I have arranged a diabetic review with the goal of getting my meds changed. I had one a week or so ago but although the HCA is a nice bloke and all, he was not in a prescribing post and took a note of my concerns and suggested I book an appointment with the prescribing diabetic nurse. The reason I am not happy with my current meds? I'm on Dapafligozin (Forxiga) which replaced the Gliclazide I had previously been taking. The Doctor did this as the Glic was not helping me to lose weight. Admittedly, I did did lose a few pounds, however that came to crashing halt as I experienced more and more of the side effects of the new meds. I am now in constant pain in the my joints, legs, hips and shoulders. My exercise regime has come to the same crashing halt. I find it difficult to walk much or use (the pretty expensive) exercise bike I have. Suffice to say I have also suffered from the more common side effects of the meds. I have written and printed a long screed describing various aspects of my now very poor quality of life, together with the increasing glucose levels over the last months (I fund my own CGM) in preparation for my appointment on Tuesday. All of this has taken place while sticking to the same diet regime (LCHF) I have had since diagnoses 5 years ago. Ok so here is the question - Is Ozempic or other Sepeglutides still in short supply, leading the NHS to write to all GP's telling them to not prescribe these meds to new patients? I have seen very recent postings from other T2's saying they had just been put on Ozempic etc. If you read this far, thanks :) I could have typed a lot more, but I don't want to come across as a complainer :) [/QUOTE]
