Hello everyone!
I won’t bore you with where I’ve been over the past year, but I recently went back on Trulicity.
Type 2:
On Levemier x 2 a day (14 units each)
Fiasp for carbs
Jardiance 25mg daily
Metformin slow release x 2 tablets (max dose) daily
I’m tired and my levels are high or low; no in between.
Asked for to try something else and we decided on Trulicity 0.75. (Last time they started me on 1.5 and I was very ill)
Gp said to stop the insulin and jardiance but keep on with the Metformin as last time my levels were very well controlled by Trulicity.
But that was a higher dose.
My levels are 15 minimum and I took Trulicity on Friday.
I’m trying to get off insulin, but my diabetic nurse said we should probably try staying on Jardiance. (Last time I ended up in a&e when I combined it with keto so I’m not doing keto)
I can lower my carbs but I can’t do keto it’s too much for me. I’ve got ibs and a thousand intolerances to most things, and low carb and keto trigger these sadly.
My diabetic nurse is going to call her specialist and ask on Wednesday, but we’re talking a while before I get a response.
I usually make my own decisions as I know how my body is, but I’m probably going to take the jardiance today, along with the Metformin.
Does anyone have any advice? Other than keto or low carb unfortunately.
I feel like a medical enigma so I’d love to hear from anyone like me.
(I was misdiagnosed as a type 1 for 11 years)
Thank you
