So after years on Metformin and for the last 18 months my bloods being overly Erdrich for no significant reason, I was chatting to a colleague (I work in private healthcare) and he suggested seeing a gastroenterologist. The outcome was a suggestion to stop Metformin and purchase via a private script a drug called semaglutide.
It cost £430 for 3 months worth but I was determined to do what was needed so went for it. A side effect of this drug is it lowers your appetite quite a bit ( I’m a really foodie) but in the space of 2 months I am now consistently recording 6.4 - 7.6 bloods where previously they renamed from 8.4 - 13.8 (not good) anyway I’ve since spoken to my GP who is brilliant and she has now prescribed these for me so I guess I’m say if you are struggling, talk to your GP and ask about Semaglutide. It’s a 14mg tablet build you do a monrh on 3.5mg then a month on 7mg before moving to 14mg this is to help build you up. It’s also possible to have it as an injectable which you take once a week.
I’m seeing great results and have lost over a stone as well.
Thought I would share this with you all
