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

Hello everyone, i was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes earlier this year. I have experienced a blood sugar drop before in my life on a few different occasions. However, i started suffering from severe panick attacks after my mom passed away. I had a massive panick attack at work one day that was Trigg

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

60yr SW 95kg GW 70kg After 5 months I’ve achieved my goal weight. I’ve not been this weight since a teenager. Tried every diet over the years but only had temporary success. Always struggled with food noise. Retired early as a GP in the UK due to MH in 2022. Turned 60 earlier this year & finall

I just finished reading an *excellent* series of blog posts about how the fear of insulin is mostly bullshit. I wanted to understand the articles better, and contribute to fittit, so I went through each article and summarized them the best as I could in layman terms. All of them are worth a read, an

Since we can't submit links on this sub, I'm pasting an interesting article I saw today. It's by Sarah Zhang for the Atlantic. Did Scientists Accidentally Invent an Anti-addiction Drug? People taking Ozempic for weight loss say they have also stopped drinking, smoking, shopping, and even nail biting

Fair warning: this will be a long post filled with data and graphs and some potentially controversial commentary. You may feel the urge to express how I am doing something wrong, not eating enough, etc. I’ve seen and read it all so it will fall on deaf ears here, but have at it I suppose. I plan to
