Type 2 diagnosed in 2019 later in life. Metformin right off the bat prescribed. However, three months later, I developed an awful rash over my entire body. During the entire time, the bathroom was my best friend. Good thing I was retired. Anyway, after a year, I was given a combo along with Glipizide, Glipiride, and any other Glip they could think of before trashing all. Ozempic / Trulicity now. Have lost 50 pounds. A1C fell from 15 to 5.
I'm a happy camper now, but feels like I've aged ten years going through these tumultuous six years.
