Those do seem to be the symptoms listed as being possible when starting on the medication. It is the lowest dose, are you taking it as instructed 30mins before food or other medication. It would be worth checking your blood glucose when you feel light headed as it could be it is doing it's job...

US website but I live in UK so why would I consult an American website? My Nurse said it was outrageous that diabetics couldn't get hold of Ozempic. She had patients who already had it on prescription and couldn't get it. Although I wasn't keen on injections I was assured it was like the...

Rybelsus has a nasty taste and the tablet seems to absorb saliva, making it difficult to swallow, even with the up-to-120ml of water 'allowed'. I agree that the main problem is having to take it at least 30 minutes before food or any other tablets - I had to set my alarm 30 minutes early to...

Thanks John. I have just come back from my GP and I have been prescribed Rybelsus which is the tablet version of the injection and produced by the same company. I need to take 14mg of the tablet every morning 30 mins before I eat or drink anything. This should be the equivalent of 0.5mg of...

The thing you should be considering is your CARBOHYDRATE intake not sugar as all carbs convert to glucose. You may need to be cautious about going to low on carbs because of the medication you are taking. I assume that you didn't make any dietary changes since you are taking that many meds. If...

...I have posted a question on the general forum to see if anyone else has come across this. I also take Metformin slow release 1000mg, Rybelsus 7mg, Dapagliflozin 10mg and Ramipril 2.5mg to offset the side effects on my kidneys. I can't find oout what my daily sugar intake should be. I've...

Your chances of getting it are very low. See this web page. The same applies to Victoza, where I rang 14 local pharmacies, and none could order it. Consider switching to Rybelsus tablets (generally available), or to Mounjaro = tirzepetide, which is due out, allegedly "within weeks"...

Which is the best tablet to take, I am about to run out of Victoza in 10 days and no more availability for this drug which has worked so well fo me for the last 4 years. I am frightened on what the future holds ☹️

Welcome to the forum @Gilly B Lots of forum members have found semaglutide very effective (the injectable form), but there are currently shortages of those injectable meds, so people are being started on the tablets (rybelsus) instead. Hope you get on well with it :)

...I am fit and active 65 yo. Unfortunately the insulin caused weight gain which brought back sleep apnoea which I was able to control a few years ago by losing weight. I have now been put on Rybelsus and wondered what experiences others have had with this drug. Just been on it a week on lowest...

You could point out to them that people on Victoza (and Byetta) have to be switched to Rybelsus by the end of March? National Patient Safety Alert (two-page PDF automatic download)

It might then be time to go down the route that many take and make some dietary changes as that is likely to be beneficial to your health anyway. Following a low carb dietary regime can be just as enjoyable as eating all those carbs.

...there were very few to no dietary changes made when I was on ozempic, I lost minimal weight but the effect it had on my blood glucose levels was amazing! I have been refused rybelsus as the pharmacist states the guidance says you are unable to swop medications due to shortage, seems unethical...

Medication shortages allegedly partly due to Brexit. Enforced Brexit devaluation of the £ made imported medication ( i e. most) more expensive. It's hit and miss with supply of some insulin as well like Lilly's Humulin I Kwikpen.

...impacting on supplies of most the GLP-1 RA medications which include Ozempic, Trulicity, Victoza, Saxenda, Byetta, and Bydureon. The new alert directs clinicians to identify patients prescribed Byetta and Victoza injections and, in line with NICE guidance, switch them to Rybelsus tablets.4...

There's been an update today (8 Jan) to my first link Prescribing available GLP-1 receptor agonists, indicating that "Rybelsus tablets are now available in sufficient quantities to support initiation of GLP-1 receptor agonist treatment in people with type 2 diabetes (T2DM)" Presumably this also...

Thanks for those links. I’m already affected and see the shortages are anticipated until the end of 2024. I blame off label prescribing of some of these meds and feel annoyed when I hear non diabetic celebs proclaiming they've now lost more weight than they ever wanted on medications primarily...

...PDF) linked at its bottom. The NHS England Department of Health & Social Care PDF requires that patients on Byetta or Victoza be switched to Rybelsus tablets "as soon as possible and no later than 28 March 2024" (even though the previous links suggest that Rybelsus is also in short supply).

i have found Optifast bars are good. Each bar is around 200 calories and 20g carbs. If I have one for breakfast it lasts until lunch. I only buy them when they are 3 for 2 or 25% off - which luckily is quite often - as they are a bit expensive but do the job.
