My Dr may consider Ryebelus tomorrow. Originally Ozempic was considered but supplies are impossible to obtain thanks to some using it for weight loss only (weight loss is one of the side effects).
It's a drug licensed for use by diabetics yet they cannot get hold of it.
I have been reading up about Ryebelus and whilst I'm not keen on injections would prefer Ozempic as only required once a week unless I am wrong. Not keen on having to wait 30 mins before I can take my other meds and eat; due to my routine it will be extremely difficult (I have to ensure I have showered and dressed before OH hogs the bathroom when he gets home from work) especially combined with possible side effects.
I am hoping, if no other option, to start at weekend so I have four days to see how it affects me. Unless you can take it at night? Does it have to be same time? Evening is not an issue but morning depends on when I wake.
Update:
My Dr doesn't think Ryebelus is suitable for me so she's going to check my HbA1c in 6 months along with the other tests before my review. I'm relieved tbh.
I have 6 months to make sure that it will be better. If it's improved hopefully Ozempic if it's available might not be required fingers crossed.
Is Nutracheck the paid for version worth it? I have thought about paying the one off price rather than paying monthly. If that's possible.
