40. Sad To Hear

Tue Sep 12, 2023, 07:59 PM

Sep 2023

Diabetes is a nightmare. I'm on Jardiance and Glipizide and Metformin for years and couldn't get my A1C down. Had to quit Metformin because off all the GI side effects.
Went on Ozempic about six months ago and I'm down from 10 last year to 6.9 a few months ago. They were talking insulin before that. It's been a miracle drug.

I had a couple years where I took celebrrex for peripheral neuropathy. I still have issues. Having worked in hospitals I'd read charts where patients had diabetes related surgeries. They always scared me.

I really hope you do OK.
