[QUOTE="Kiwigal, post: 2763667, member: 548622"] I'm also Long Covid. Before covid I'm diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes. (2021) BMI of 35 After Covid+ (Dec 2022) I have lost over 30 kg (66lbs) weight loss and haven't regained back the weight. I'm now BMI of 24. I noticed when I reduce ozempic from 1mg to 0.50mg or 0.25mg - my glucose will rise up. This is sign of insulin deficiency. Meanwhile as I'm on Ozempic and my last Hba1c was 5.3 in sept 2024. (My cgm average glucose is slowing creeping up for 90 days). I'm due for new Hba1c blood test. I'm still using high dose of ozempic to manage my diabetes - which isn't typical Type 2 Diabetes - in Type 2 you are supposed to reduce the medication and your own producing insulin will works to manage your diabetes after weightloss. Another clue - I'm not yet in remission for "Type 2 Diabetes" after more than 10 to 15% weightloss. When I'm unwell or on prednisolone, I get high glucose 13 mmol and Ketones of 1.2 mmol - this is another clue - insulin deficiency. I recently had HLA blood tests - got high risk for Type 1 Diabetes and other autoimmune diseases. From Covid+ - my immune system started attacking. (I do have signs of autoimmune diseases symptoms that is overlapped.) All those makes me suspect I'm not a typical Type 2 Diabetes but leaning toward to autoimmune Diabetes like LADA and very early Type 1 Diabetes. So my next step is to build up timeline with evidences... and look into 2nd opinion for Endocrinologist who is LADA complex diabetes. Esp there is a lot of research people who get covid+ ends up afterwards Type 2 Diabetes or Type 1 Diabetes. I would suggest get tested for Type 1 diabetes - gad tests and antibodies, and your c-peptide checked out as well. There is LADA/Type 1 Diabetes you can be negative for antibodies and got insulin deficiency. Esp of very very slow burning of beta cells. [/QUOTE]
