Many congratulations on some really great results! Well done!
Would you like to share how you achieved them as it may help others.
My Diabetic Nurse and I had nearly exhausted all avenues to reduce my daily levels as well as My HBa1c. At the time of her suggestion to go onto an injection of Semagutide, otherwise known now due to media interest as the slimming injection or a tablet version with the same properties, I chose the tablets. If these didn't work, the injection was my last resort. I have struggled to reduce my daily levels for a long time, not for the want of trying, for some unknown reason, the only way to keep them low was 2 meals a day, which is totally impractical and down right impossible having a physical job. So we looked for other options to help with this setback.
Rybelsus was mentioned, so it was decided that this would be the next direction that I would go in. Rybelsus comes in 3 doses, 3mg, 7mg, 14mg. The usual course is start out on a month of 3mg, moving to 7mg after the initial first month. At the time it was readily available, however after being prescribed 3mg, there became a global shortage as the Media found that the injection version was being used for weight loss in the USA, making the ingredients difficult to come by, thus causing a huge shortage for those that needed the drug for its original use, the helping of those with type 2 diabetes. For the first 3 months, I had to scourer the Pharmacies to see who could get Rybelsus, after a few uncertain months for a supply and having to make a box of 7mg last 2 months a couple of times, I have now, fingers crossed manage to find a supply for the next 3 months, guaranteeing at least into the New Year, so hopefully more progress in the right direction. Added to this I don't eat past 8pm most nights, on the odd occasion I will eat later, say for a meal out or summer BBQ, but on the whole it a regular time of 8pm.
A little bit more about Rybelsus for those that have never heard of it.
Rybelsus
Improving your blood sugar is a very important part of managing your type 2 diabetes, along with healthy eating and staying active, may help.
You'll start with a 3 mg dose of RYBELSUS for 30 days. Your healthcare provider will prescribe a 7 mg dose to take after the first 30 days.
You take 1 tablet first thing on an empty stomach with 125ml of water no more no less. You have to wait 30 mins before you drink or eat anything, giving the tablet time in the stomach.
Rybelsus also supresses your appetite, you must eat though at your regular times, but I have found since being on it, it is little and often.
This is working for me at the moment, not sure it's for everyone, but it is an option, that for the moment is working in my favour.
