I have been type two for 4 years now and was 12 stone when diagnosed.
I have been taking Metformin for 3 years and saxagliptin for a year.
In the first 3 years i have dropped to 11.7 stone but in the last few months have dropped a further half stone and am now a skinny 11 stone. At 5 ft 11 its very noticable with family and friends commenting on my weightloss which is concerning.
A visit to the docs has confirmed my diabeties is out of control and has now prescribrd me glicacide twice a day as a last resort (in addition to metformin and saxagliptin) before resorting to insulin :-(
Doctor seems to think that weightloss is due to me constantly urinating as i have been trying to eat more of the wrong foods to try and gain weight....A vicious circle :-( all other blood tests came back ok thankfully.
I need to gain weight and eat properly but everything i seem to eat sends my BS up past 16.
Would anybody here be able to assist in this strange request to gain weight?
Many Thanks in advance
