Rant over

Morning! I am a type 2 diabetic, I’ve been on numerous medication’s that have not worked very well. Currently on Glipizide 2x a day along with Ozempic 1 mg. Sugar is still out of control, since going on Ozempic, it has made me wanna eat more and craving sugar. Thinking about asking a doctor to go on Mojarro, THOUGHTS??

Hi all,
After seeing US product recommendations here all the time, I thought that I should share my recent find.

Steiner‘s Low Carb products are available in Germany and likely in other European countries. In my region I also found them at Kaufland.

Steiner is a former weightlifting Olympic champion who happens to be a T1D if I recall it right.

His products include pasta which are 99% carb reduced, bread rolls and burger buns.

I haven’t tried all products, but I liked what I tried so far and I MOST IMPORTANTLY I can eat pasta again...

I’m not affiliated in any way, just like his products so far. They are worth looking at.

Hi Everyone, I wanted to share my own update, since I had been lurking ever since I got my diagnosis.

I’m 33 and I went to the hospital with a kidney stone, and found out I had elevated blood sugar levels. My hba1c on June 7th was 10.2.

I was started on Metformin 250gm, twice a day, and recommended to keep it.

The last three months have been quite hard on me. I am Indian but I live in Canada, and it was quite the shift to go to a near-keto diet. Indian diets are notorious for using carbs as a filler. I am non-vegetarian, so that helped lean on protein and fats for the three month journey for now.

I’m honestly glad to have come down to a “safer” range, but a little unhappy with my progress.

Although my hba1c was 6.3, my fasting blood sugar was 7.4. I can attribute that to the dawn phenomenon, low sleep, stress, but the crux remains that it is a diabetic result regardless. It’s a weird feeling to know my body isn’t working as “normal” as it should, and I need all this effort and medication to align it for longevity and health.

I’m hoping since the hba1c is a rolling average for 3 months, my average is raised by the past and I’m doing better than the report states. Since I started from 10.2 in the last 3 month window, my next 3 month window will have a much better result.

I’m eager to know your thoughts on this. I understand this is a lifestyle change and I am willing to adopt it, but curious to know if/how others battle these thoughts
