I’m on ozempic but recently been experiencing incredible thirst (mostly) and hunger also.
Also, been experiencing blurred vision. What’s going on?
 
6 months
I did have a libre but they are too expensive for me at the moment because I lost my job recently

Do you have a finger pricking kit?

If you are having very high numbers at the moment it's better to find out sooner than later.
It's always possible that you're not a T2 after all.
 
I can’t afford a finger pricking kit.
I’m doing temporary work so can’t afford time off work to get it checked either. If this continues I’ll have to make an appointment with my gp however. I did think this could be 1.5 from the start. My gut was telling me 2 was incorrect.
 
It’s driving me crazy. I drink 3 pints of water during the night!

What about walking into a pharmacy for a fingerprick test?
I'm not sure (I live in a different country) but I think pharmacies can do this in the UK.

Should you develop nausea, a stomach ache, or funny breathing, don't wait but get medical help right away.
 
Thanks for your replies. I had a look on Amazon and I managed to get a cheap ish finger pricking kit and it’s arriving tomorrow so that’s good.
 
6.9 fasting and on Ozempic for 5 months. Still really thirsty and waking during the night to drink 3 pints of water. I don’t understand it
