Hello
I've had my yearly review and as expected my hba1c has gone from 49-60 in the last year, I completely lost track and control from about October onwards, which I won't go into but basically various stresses and anxiety I suffer with. Currently I'm on ST Sukkarto 4x a day 2 at breakfast and 2 with evening meal. I have a real hard time shifting weight and especially keeping it off. My sugars range from 6-11 and always in the morning I can never get them lower than 9, my nurse just says I must be very resistant?!
Anyway I've been offered to try either "ozempic " or "trulicity" injection once a week, or a nhs low calorie diet course for 1 year which includes 3 months of shakes and soups and then help to re introduce solid foods back into my diet. I don't feel it would suit my lifestyle as I'm a very busy mum of 2 young children and with school and clubs ect I don't feel 900calories a day is sufficient enough?
Has anyone tried any of these or had any luck or advice?
please help.
