[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2358003, member: 6467"] [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/news/2019/jan/type-2-diabetes-drug-ozempic-now-available-in-uk-93805654.html[/URL] This is something that I have been thinking long and hard about. Ozempic is described as an alternative to Metformin in the article linked here. I seem to be fine with Metformin. It is also described as an aid to losing weight. I am normal BMI. O.K. I would like to take off half a stone but losing weight is not the main aim of any drug for me. It can kick your pancreas in an unfavourable way which is not an attractive proposition. Oh, you don't say what you are currently taking or why you may need to move on. My current view is that, as I seem to be mainly suffering from an extended dawn phenomenon, is that a small dose of insulin first thing in the morning might be the most sensible option. I often go low in the early hours so I wouldn't want overnight insulin. I don't want to have to inject, but if I did then one injection in the morning might be a reasonable way to go. [/QUOTE]
