I was going to start Ozempic tonight, but I just can't. I went looking to see if there were any tips or tricks to avoid nausea or to get a better idea of how long it lasts and saw that diabetic retinopathy IS an actual (though rare) side effect that might not go away. And you just don't know how muc

I'll probably cross post this to diabetes and endocrinology forums. Thanks for setting up an evidence based endocrine forum, I'll try to contribute. I did some work on the available data on CV outcome trials to date. This is a wordy summary of available trials, but hopefully shed some light on the p

So I'm being treated by the NHS as though I have type 2 diabetes. I also have a mitochondrial mutation that causes Maternally Inherited Diabetes and Deafness, but for the purposes of treatment I am T2. I'm a moderately overweight (not obese) reasonably active woman in my early 30's who also has PCOS

I take Metformin, Alogliptin, and Empagliflozin. Before that I was taking Pioglitazone instead of Empagliflozin. My blood sugar was fantastic. My morning blood sugar was around 97mg to 115mg even after a hefty meal night before and the A1C was 6.5. Then the VA changed Pioglitazone to Empagliflozin b

I’m honestly so happy I’m not even sure how I feel. Back in July I unexpectedly found out I was diabetic after finding a high amount of sugar in my urine and being urged to go to the ER for immediate bloodwork. I’ve been put on 5mg of Farxiga (dapagliflozin) the last month or so and have been keepi

I used to take Xigduo and it was covered just fine on my previous insurance, but then I lost my job and had to get a plan off the healthcare marketplace. They have a fairly large deductible for prescriptions and charge coinsurance on name-brand drugs, so even after using a manufacturer's coupon I'd

So I just got my first CGM and I'm loving it! Previously, I was finger pricking and noticed that my waking BG was always higher than it was the rest of the day. I suspected Dawn Phenomenon, as it would be 120 odd and then settle down to 80-90 throught the day, with the odd spike upt to 120-140 after

Hi, my dad (58) was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes almost a year ago. My dad drinks alcohol occasionally and is a non-smoker. Last December 6, 2024, his HbA1c increased from 7.5 to 8.1. We were a bit complacent with my dad's diet, and as a family of 5, we also had some lapses. We want to be stricter

Hi everyone, well I had a terrible year last year which brought on a huge amount of stress, due to mental health issues with my daughter and also working in a high pressured environment. I am a self-employed consultant so I have to work as I am the main breadwinner for the family. My diabetic contr
