Type 2 is called Insulin Resistance - basically your pancreas works fine but the cells in your body stops responding to the hormone that tells it to remove glucose from your blood leading to a dangerous build up.
I use a drug called Metformin daily which slows down my digestive tract (you feel fuller after a meal longer like Ozempic), lowers the uptake of glucose in your gut and lowers glucose production in your liver.
That and a low carb diet is essential.

- tibbydudeza 3y agoI miss my pasta and rice :).
- glp1guide 3y agoAlso note that drugs like Ozempic (GLP1 Receptor Agonists) work in at least the following ways: - slow down stomach emptying (which was noted) - improving glucose disposal - reduce appetite by affecting brain chemistry GLP1 RAs are really really interesting compounds (I'm a bit biased of course)
- tibbydudeza 3y agoI must note my gut has some interesting moments with it - some days - also I used to love mince (think US calls it a sloppy joe) - now I can't stand the sight and smell of it.
- glp1guide 3y agoThat's really interesting -- I wonder what your body is reacting to in there...
