Hi everyone I'm new to DUK. I'm 6'3 and at my heaviest was 25st. Long term T2 and regime was 24-40 units of novomix 30 and daily Victoza (liraglitude) injections. I've tried to lose weight since 1977 (no bull) and my brief lowest was 15'7 in 1984. I have autoimmune stuff and lots of complications. My stable weight has been a range around 19-20 st.
My motivation has finally been strengthened by hip failure. I had a new liver 10yrs ago and now the risk of surgery has been assessed as too high
So 15:months I decided to go on my own program....My mind rebels at the word diet. I knew I HAD to lose weight. Inspired by Jason Fung I made some simple changes and am now at 14st BUT...... 3 months ago a long term shortage of Victoza made a change to Semaglutude tablets necessary and on my 3rd attempt I think my stomach will tolerate a small dose..2 weeks ago my surgery gave me Libre2. What a shock I got to find that I no longer require any insulin and my average a1c is estimated now as 39mmol.
I am both thrilled and suspicious about whether the Semaglutude is changing my readings short-term and whether anyone has been using Rybelsus longer than me and what the longer term impact has been.?
