Hey all,
I am Kevin, 47 M from Chicago (Bear down, Chicago Bears!)
Managing my weight has been a struggle for me since getting diagnosed with Dx Type 2 two years ago. I am moving away from glyburide, which I had to stick with for a long time because of GI intolerance with metformin and also because it was what my insurance could only cover. I recently got a promotion at work and I am going to switch plans soon. I stumbled upon grey market in this forum but I don't know how to verify their legitimacy? Anyway I hope someone can enlighten me on that
Long story short, glyburide has made weight management incredibly difficult as weight gain is a known side effect, but also I worry about working out too much to avoid hypoglycemia. GLPs on the other hand just sound like magic, but I'll talk with my endo if I'd have any adverse effects from the transition. Does anyone here have a similar experience transitioning from a different treatment, e.g. insulin, to GLP-1?
I really like to lose weight (380 lbs right now) because my new position requires a lot of mental sharpness and energy and I've been feeling more easily tired with my weight gain. I am looking forward to make this transformation with you guys!
