My last endo appointment I asked the Dr to level with me, how long can I still eat cake with my A1C at 8 before I start losing toes. I just haven’t been able to rein in the junk food. I’m a picky eater and I love carbs. I’m so crazy busy running around taking care of everyone else that I don’t take care of myself right, and I’m a stress eater so that doesn’t help matters with a feral 2 year old, an autistic five year old, a perfectionist husband, and a business to run. He laughed at me and started me on Jardiance, which has been working well. Planning on seeing an A1C closer to 7 next time I make it to the lab.
My wife jus started on Jardiance ("spensive) she got on some kinna grant....@ about 37$ a month! Was over $1600/monthly!

I had already met my deductible for the year before he switched my med so I don’t know yet how the change is going to affect me. I know my Ozempic is about that price a month until I hit the $3000 mark and then I pay 10%

I was on that briefly until they decided my insurance would pay for Repatha. I don’t think I had side effects but just about every cholesterol med gives me muscle aches

Are you saying you were on Zettia? How long? The hospital couldn't stop the bleeding (gushing) but there was an eye ear nose and throat dr jus across the street....rushed her there..thru the waiting rm..he gowned up and cauterized her real quick...
We won't do ANY statins at all the results are worse than the cure! If you ask Google if Zettia can cuz nosebleeds......1st result is YES!!!!!!

Diabetes is a horrible disease. Hopefully the Elon Musk’s among us will have a cure soon.
Beef.
Lots of beef.it keeps you full longer and kills your urges to snack.
Bacon is good like that too. You don't have to go full carnivore to get the benefits.
My last test tge Dr came out to meet me because I was the only person he had ever seen who had zero diabetes. The needle didn't move.
I was pre-diabetic before that.
