Morning everyone ( actually, is nearly 12.30pm ), I am extremely poorly atm and still laying in bed.
I was diagnosed with T2 6 weeks ago and have found all your advise so far very encouraging. I'm still confused with a lot of things but over time I'm sure I will learn what everything means.
I've now lost 1.8 stone in 6 weeks from cutting out sugar and really reducing carbs.
My BS levels are generally in the 6's although this morning I was 5.9 after waking.
My DN is pleased with my numbers but because of reducing metformin due to nausea and tummy problems she wants me to try Trulicity ( injectable) weekly pen. My Endroconolgy Consultant wanted me on this for weight lose too but having read up on this it says you can loose between 2lb-6lb which, is nothing compared to all the nasty side effects.
Has anyone been on this and lost much weight?
Also, do you think the way I'm feeling ( DN says I have a virus) very achy limbs, flu symptoms, tired and chesty cough, could be down to my body going into a bit of shock and reducing my sugars, carbs and weight fairly quickly?
Sorry for the long post and hope you can help xxx
