DM2 debutant with Invokana and Rybelsus

Good morning!!

I have been seeing my hemo and fasting glucose in spite, controlled by the endocrine at the end, at the end, the time to take medication has come to take the time to take medication since 2020.

Seeing the analytics I took a tremendous disgust because last year I had managed to lower the glucose of 100 on an empty stomach and thought that the efforts had worked, duplicate the days of exercise ..., but in the end the genetics and my brick metabolismThey have helped.

My grandparents on both sides, my father and my mother all diabetic type 2. I also have severe endometriosis, chronic anemia and quite nice hypothyroidism (150 a day of levothyroxine) and the parathyroids go crazy every two by three.

I had always had my glucose values ​​well or pulling at low until in February 2020 they entered the hospital because I drowned me and did not know why, they swell me to corticosteroids in vein that left me shit and even had to come the doctorsFrom the urgency to see what happened to me ... I am a weirdo and give me decreases of tension type 7/4 with the corticosteroids.Maybe that was the trigger or who played now.

From there every year the worst analytics on this subject, fattening and always living on a diet ... doing sports and desperate watching how in spite of everything it worked.

With the analytics before Christmas I went to my endocrine 2 weeks ago with fear and anxiety when seeing the glycosada at 8.7 (it had never passed 6 before), thinking that I was going to take a rage of grade 15 because the fat people are accustomed toThat everything that happens is our fault and that people think we are every day swelling us.My hypothyroidism?By fat ... my endometriosis?By fat ... half life thinning and fattening ... mentally and physically exhausting.

But luckily she is not so even if I were like a flan, she told me that I have a brick metabolism and that it was already worth suffering and suffering, that I was going to put medication and it ended.The famous Rybelsus and has also put me invokana 100. I took the report to the header and I was also prepared with a list of what I do ... and very kind he told me ... if I see in the restFrom your analytics that you eat well, I almost give you a hug ... No one believes me.

I started on Friday and I have been no secondary effect for 2 days.It is soon but I am very hypochondriaca (part of what I have had to live) ... I am afraid of a hypoglycemia ... I've been going out with a disgusting postcovid that left me dizziness of milk and hypersensitivity toLight and strong noises, and now that it began to see the light because we started with this.(And everything ending a master's degree and approving an opposition and with the little one ... I don't even know how I endured standing).

After the initial shock ... Fear of anger, and much tiredness of having to get up from every physical and psychological stony that means being a woman with several pathologies ... little by little I am assimilating.

I have come to this place with the intention of learning a lot to take care of myself better in this new start.

Locking is human, getting up is an obligation ... but my knees of so much host are hurting.

Thank you for reading and forgive for the Bible that I have written to you

Hi, @Cylan welcome to the forum!

First, thanks for sharing your story so open and sincere.Nobody has to apologize for writing a lot, because this forum is just for that: to let off steam, find support and learn together.

What you are living is not easy, and the amount of challenges you face deserves all our admiration.Type 2 diabetes, combined with other pathologies such as hypothyroidism, endometriosis and anemia, makes your path more complex, but the fact that you continue fighting, taking care of yourself and looking for answers demonstrates your enormous strength.

On the fear of medication, it is very normal to feel so at the beginning, especially when you have made so much effort to keep everything under control.The good thing is that you are in the hands of doctors who seem to understand your situation and are supporting you instead of judging you (hopefully all professionals were like this!).So muchRybelsusasINVOKANAThey are modern treatments that are helping many people, and the most important thing is that you now have an extra tool to relieve something of that load you carry.Over time, you will see how you can adjust everything and feel more safe with your treatment.

About hypoglycemia: It's normal to be afraid!But with the combination of medications you have, the risk is not so high.Even so, it is useful that you have something like gel glucose or rapid action candies by hand for your tranquility.Over time you will learn how your body responds and gain confidence.

And what to tell you about that constant struggle with weight and prejudices ... is emotionally exhausting, butYou know you do everything possible.Here nobody is going to judge you, and I am sure that many people in this forum understand and empathize with you.You are not alone!

Finally, I am impressed by your words: "Falling is human, getting up is an obligation ... but my knees of so much host are hurting."It is so real what you say, and I want you to know that nothing happens if you sometimes need to stop, ask for help or simply let someone remember how strong you are.You are doing a master's degree, you have approved an opposition, take care of a little one and, despite everything, you move on.You are an example of resilience.

We are here for what you need.Question, share your doubts or simply evoke when you need it.

Among all, we can make this path a bit more bearable.

A huge and welcome hug to this community.

Millions of thanks.Joe that even a tears falls and all with your words.

Any recommendation on glucose or candies?I am totally lost and my endocrine has not given much importance to that when I told him.

Ah and I approved the Master with a 9.86 😉

@Cylan don't worry, here we are here to help you organize and feel safer.Although hypoglycemia episodes with medications such asINVOKANAeitherRybelsusThey are not common, it is always a good idea to be prepared.Here are some recommendations:

Recommended glucose gels or gels

• Glucose gels: They are practical because they already come with the necessary amount of sugar (15 grams per dose) and act quickly.

• Glucose candies: Look for those that are specifically to raise blood sugar.Glucose pills is what I use normally.

• If you do not find specific gels or candies,Any hard candy with sugar (never sugar)It can help you in case of trouble.

How to prepare:

• Always carry something with you:A pair of candies, a small gel glucose package or even a 200 ml zumito (such as Tetrabrik).The latter also have the fair amount of rapid carbohydrates.

• Have an "emergency kit" at home, in the bag or even in the car.

• If you ever notice rare (dizziness, tremors, cold sweat),Measure your glucose if you can before acting, but if you can't, a candy or a gel will not hurt you.It is better to prevent.

Extra tips for hypochondriacos like us (I am also 🙃):

• Make sureKnow your target levels.Ask your endocrine what is your ideal range, so you know when you should worry or when you can be calm.

• Take a newspaper or use an app to record how you feel with medication.That will help you gain confidence and recognize patterns.

By the way ... a9.86In the master!That deserves a giant applause 👏👏👏.

You are amazing!With everything you have, you have managed not only to move forward, but to highlight.That speaks a lot of your strength and determination.

You are not alone, and here you have us for any questions or scare you have.Your path already has many victories (and that 9.86 is proof of it!), So keep going at your rhythm.

You do not exace more than necessary:You are doing incredible job.

A huge hug, @cylan and don't forget to celebrate a little every day!

Thank you !!!

Jo, you don't know what I understand you about what you go to the doctor and everything is because you are fat and do not look at anything else, thank you very much for telling your experience.

A hug and welcome.

This Christmas I realized that he eats more than me and weighs 44 kilos!It is short and with the metformin because it went down a few kilos.

He told me ... are you just going to eat that?Are you not going to eat some dessert?Are you going to hunger?

And I had to say mom ... it's that I don't like it!But my body takes advantage of everything but good.

The fear and anxiety of going to the doctor and do not look beyond ... and I am also nervous and that is the second thing ... you go to the doctor and everything is anxiety ... before the endometriosis will diagnose myEverything hurt by nerves according to some doctors ... until after pilgrimage I found the right one and the cake opened!3 laparoscopies had to make me the tomato that there was ...

Infinite patience!

Do not be overwhelmed, to me by father and her mother, my grandmother, I am type 2, like healthAnd on Sunday the same .... If I get more, then sport, water, until it lowers me ... and I had anxiety, fears, but you have to be strong .... here you have a friend ....KISSES......

Anxiety gives a lot of this and since I had enough ... I will not have been able to be born quietly as other people not ...

At the moment I feel good, that helps to be calmer.

No serious side effect with medication ... just some gases and that I live alive at all hours!

@Cylan you are a champion !!!

Like all diabetics, the only comfort is to do what we can.I stop blaming me for everything, except for the weight, that there is no form.

With new medication sure that you improve values ​​and weight.You will feel much better encouragement.

Thank you @ruthbia little by little.

The weight this does not help either mood because I understand the psychological battle that it is.Each one is a world.As I usually say ... I am a hormone disagreed with legs ...

Today I started looking at my analytics after a conversation that I had with the head of the header who hinted that I had had patients who had been quite a dose of corticosteroids and from there Katapum ... and indeed I have a January analyticalOf 2020, they entered me in February 2020 because I was drowning and at that time they did not know why (now we already know that Bichejo appeared at that time) ... total that they put me corticosteroids to tons in vein ... I hit me some tripsAstral because the tension lowers me a lot ... I reached 7/4 and in the hospital I gave them a few scares.I was admitted for a while and since I did not get worse and they didn't know what more evidence was ... and the serious percar was putting on the hospi.On the covid because they sent me home.

Seeing the analytics ...

01/2020 Glucose 91

03/2020 Glucose at 115

I don't have this time

And from there increasingly worse in general with some better analytics like last year ... he probably accelerated something that was going to end up happening sooner or later.

Corticosteroids are a pump, glycemia rises a lot, a lot.As DT1, I left them, it was 300 glucose and insulin did not work.

I got analytical 2 days ago.My great diabetic data, photo frame, but I have triggered the entire white range by chronic inflammation and cholesterol !!!!.What ever, high cholesterol, and high calcium, tall.

So I am without sleeping for the damn chronic inflammation that produces terrible jaquecas that the pain awakens me, and they do not operate for being diabetics.

Come on, you manage one theme and spoil another one.

@Ruthbia

Much encouragement with the issue of pain and inflammation.You are right that this seems to never end.And congratulations on the analytics regarding diabetes.It is not easy and it is good news !!!

My gine told me that there are now nutritionists who can advise you anti -inflammatory diets ... I always have the high -blood reactive PCR that is a symptom of inflammation ... but we go with the beginning of the medication I told him that enough changes was going to putIn my life as if to get into another one ...

Mine there is no diet that solves it.It is an autoimmune chronic rhinitis;They would have to reduce the mucosa that when inflaming goes up and jaquecas.I am based on oral and nasal antistamines.

It shoots me with the wine, horrible, which ever, but with thousands of things.And not always, goes to days.

@Cyla, with the new medication you will be much better, I do not understand why they take so long to prescribe the glucose control is not achieved.

Covid virus could also influence diabetes.There are already many cases that relate diabetes to that type of virus.

I hope you get everything easier.Sometimes everything consists of finding a clear diagnosis.

You will see that everything will be much better.

@Ruthbia a lot of encouragement, sometimes we have to get strength from where we don't have.

@Egina thank you very much for your words, I think they expected to lose weight and pass alone, you know that for the fat people everything is the fault of the weight ... That is why they took me medication.

I didn't know that COVID was related to diabetes.Damn bug ... two and a half years with dizziness that luckily have been passed and my husband with hives who suddenly came out without doing anything ...

And you are right, the truth is that I find myself better, I realized in Pilates on Tuesday that I could do more abdominal series without fatigue me so much.It is as if he could now throw coal to the boiler.

It is also true that now I write to you sitting on the "throne" because it has given me a good decomposition ... They told me that the medication has these things.

Happy Friday!

Hello!

Here I continue after the initial shock.

I wanted to write a small update in case it serves someone of help.

These months have been a circus of physical symptoms and emotions.From urticaria of unknown origin, extreme diarrhea, top anxiety, I have hump me the two knees (one sleeping ... I am a case) ... but they have done a thousand tests and here I put a summary:

Pros:

• HBA1C from 8.7 to 6.6 in 3 months.
• Fasting glucose from 187 to 121.
• I have dropped from 125 to 110 kilos ... 15 lesspats without hardly changing habits.
• All analytics has improved a lot, even things that were well controlled as my TSH that has gone from 4.7 to 2.2 without changing medication.And it is not to lose weight because I have had the same medication with much less kilos and was around 5.

Cons:

• Ferric metabolism for the soils, they have given me medication and I have earned a gift colonoscopy in the coming weeks.I know that it is not assimilated but my header was scared a bit for the family history.
• It keeps chopping everything from time to time but not as at the beginning.
• Also once or two a week I have one day that at night I run to the bathroom.
• I don't feel an empty stomach and it is a feeling that I miss.Sometimes I take the Rybelsus when I get up to the bathroom early and stomach my stomach enough and I can't sleep anymore.
• I have a little triggered anxiety, I don't know if it is the medication, the changes in the body or the ton of curro that I have.

I am more careful with food but without obsessions.I have eaten out many days, a few days I have given myself a whim ... He told me the endocrine that we were seeing and that I did not want to put on diet or glucometer (on Tuesday I have the review with her).

There is already the billet that I have written to you.But I hope someone serves him.

In my little knowledge 6.6 is okay?Taking into account that I have to go down another 40 kilos at least ...
