I’m 54 and I take 25 mg. Jardiance and 1000 mg. (x2) Metformin daily, and a .75 mg. shot of Trulicity once a week. My primary doctor put me on a 37.5 mg. daily dose of Adipex to jump start some weight loss. I want on a paleo/low carb diet starting in June (no bread, rice, potatoes, pasta, etc. - lots of meat and green vegetables, no junk food, a lot of tea and sparkling water), and have gone from 266 lbs. to 240 in five months. My oncologist noticed my platelet count, while still dangerously low, is rebounding a little, and the enlargement in my liver and spleen are lessening. I see my primary again in two weeks, and I’m anxious to see where my A1C is now after almost six months of a new diet and weight loss. It was 9.2 in June.
I’m willing to bet it’s going to be a lot better, on it’s way to being normal. You’re on the right track. Cutting out the fast carbs (anything white basically) from the diet is the key. Once you’ve got the numbers looking right, you can probably add moderate amounts back in.
Of course, people read ‘studies’ like this and think they need to starve themselves instead, but that will very likely result in hormonal disruptions and decreasing lean mass, which will cause other problems.
let me know where your A1C landed
