GLIPIZIDE vs LIRAGLUTIDE

Just wanted to share some great news. My grandfather had diabetes and even had to have his leg amputated later in life. I watched growing up how restrictive his diet was. My father and brother were also diagnosed later. 2 years ago, after thinking I had restless leg syndrome, I got a blood test

My A1c results after four months of carb reduction, intermittent fasting, apple cider vinegar, cardio and a 60lbs weight loss... 5.4%! Plus Metformin, Glipizide and ~~Trulicity~~\*. Hoping to be able to decrease the meds and hopefully not have to start insulin. My a1c was previously > 11, thankf

For the first time since I started getting my A1C checked regularly, it is now in normal range! I got my recent labs back, and it was 5.7. It was as high as 11.7 as late as two years ago, and has regularly been in the 8+ range for several years. in July, it was 6.7. It has taken a combination of Met

6 months ago, after complaining of hypos in the middle of the night from Glipizide, my doctor took me off of it and put me on Mounjaro. I've been steadily increasing my dosage every few months and am up to 10mg now. He told me that I wouldn't need to check my glucose more than once a day which signi

1/ yes, I know, there's room for improvement. That's always going to be true. I'm okay with being a work in progress. :) 2/ I started off 14++ earlier this year and my PCP stressed the need for a gentle slope of reduction in sugars so complications wouldn't plague me as much. 3/ I started off with

January 31, I had an A1c of 12.4. My endo wanted to start me on insulin, but I decided I was going to try to take control of the factors that I knew I was not paying attention to. Revamped my diet, cut calories, slowly incorporated exercise, filled the nutritional gaps I needed with supplements, and

Back in October my a1c was 11.6 yesterday got my new results for my a1c and I'm at 8.4 I need to tell someone that understands me and that is you guys.i have just been taking all my medications i take metformin 1000 and glipizide 10 mg and I stopped eating late at night and stopped all the soft drin

EDIT: I realized that I put 5.7 in the title. It's actually 5.4. Just want to share my story because the last three months has been a roller coaster both physically and mentally. Hopefully this helps for those who needs guidance. I [29M] was diagnosed August of this year with an A1C of 11.5 with a f

After two consecutive blood tests showed and A1C of 4.5-4.6, my primary care physician had me drop my T2 meds. I achieved these results through diet and exercise, supported by my meds. First he had me drop Jardiance, and that went fine. Another 4.6 A1C. Then he had me drop Victoza/Liraglutide and Me

Slight cross post from a r/KaiserPermanente thread of mine. After 2 years and 4 denials to see an endocrinologist as an uncontrolled T2D, I finally got them to accept the referral after asking for a formal denial letter so I could go self-pay to an out of network hospital system a few counties away.

I was diagnosed with T2 back in November and it gave me a scare. I’m in the morbidly obese category and on liraglutide to help. I don’t think it’s working well for me but that’s a separate issue. I feel like I need another kick, I haven’t received a lot of support from my GP (in the UK) and I am try

What do you guys usually do with leftover medication? This is 0.5mg and based on my usual dosage of 1.8mg/day, I rarely have enough extra across 3 sticks to constitute one last dose at the end of the medication period. Do you still use the extra?

Hi all I’ve been diagnosed type 2 this January and have since been on a mix of metformin, glimepiride, and sitagliptin none of which lowered my sugars very much. My nurse has suggested that I could go onto a daily or weekly injection (Liraglutide/Trulicity) to help stimulate the insulin levels. Does

When I was first diagnosed, I couldn’t afford my medications to keep everything maintained. My A1C is sitting somewhere around a 7/8. Two years later, I moved to 12u long acting and around 20-30u of fast acting. Doctor tried to put me on Ozempic, but I ended up in the ER from an allergic reaction.

For the past 5 months I have been working really hard on my diet and fitness level where i've pretty much got it in lock down. I've integrated healthy eating and going into the gym in a very sustainable way where it's a part of me now. It is kind of surreal to think now there were days on end I woul

It works by helping the pancreas to release the right amount of insulin when blood sugar levels are high. Liraglutide injection also slows the emptying of the stomach and may decrease appetite and cause weight loss. It's been a couple of days and I'm having some trouble with nausea. I've found that
