[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2090031, member: 6467"] [USER=345386]@DCUKMod[/USER] I had a finding of signs of background retinopathy at my last photographic eye screening when my BG was out of control for a few months, but by the time of my eye appointment a very thorough going over could find no sign. In my particular case I don't think a rapid reduction of HbA1c is on the cards as I have (hopefully) reestablished control now. [USER=388174]@SimonCrox[/USER] I am now intrigued by the long term study after the Semaglutide has been approved. Although there are still long term studies of other prescription drugs, and quite right too! It does open the temptation to approach my GP and talk about using it. Then again I am a wuss with needles. Do you have a pointer to a source which compares and contrasts various "glutides"? If my amateur self analysis is correct and I am over producing glucagon then the claimed benefits seem to fit my needs (as long as there aren't any major downsides). Without prejudice, would it be advisable to discuss this with an endocrinologist who specialises in diabetes who may be more up to date with recent research than a local GP? Assuming that the local GP is not a diabetes specialist, obviously. Edit: forgot to say "thank you" for the links. [/QUOTE]
