It’s not all about losing weight with managing diabetes - and I understand the weight thing believe me. I have several endocrine issues that make it very hard for me to lose weight. In the past before my “issues” I used to lose 11kg (24lb) a month easily. Now the only reason I can lose any weight at all is because of the sugar free stuff, calorie restriction and one of the diabetes meds I’m on (Ozempic) which is the low dose of the Wegovy weight loss drug but just for diabetes. (It was always designed for diabetes not weight loss). I know people going through menopause and post menopause who have had some success on it too. (I’m in a Facebook group where people talk about what they’re on it for). I realise this might sound like “I can do it so you have no excuse” but im really not trying to say that. I truly understand reasons for not being able to lose weight. I’ve lived that for years. I’m just trying to say that it’s possible and not to give up hope.
