I was diagnosed type2 in August 2000, since then I have been on various medications including Metformin, Exenatide, Liraglutide, Glimepiride and others. Two years I weighed in at about 16 stone and my diabetes was not good. I decided to join a Gym locally and started going 3 mornings a week for a 2 hour session. After a year of regularly going I was down to 13 stone and my diabetes results were excellent. I was referred to as 'pre diabetic' by the nurse. Over that year I was gradually cut back to just 2 metformin a day all other meds were cancelled.
Then came lock-down as I am 72 and have other health conditions I cancelled my gym membership and stayed indoors for a year. My weight slowly increased back to over 16 stone. My HbA1c in May this year was 80 mmol/mol. I have now been put on Ozempic semaglutide, starting this Sunday.
What should I expect to start with? Nausea, tummy problems, not being able to finish meals? Any other things that I have not read about yet?
Best regards
