Type 2 diabetic -weight loss pill???



Recommended Posts

OK i need some help. A while back I had seen someone talking about a pill they were taking to help control their type 2 diabetes. It was also suppose to be a weight loss "helper" I think? Anyway what is the name of it?

Heres the reason I am wondering now. I have been type 1 diabetic since I was 12, I'm 29 years old now. Taking 4 shots a day! Well my doctor (Ive been seeing her for 2 years) decided to double check that I was indeed type 1. Well the results came back Friday and they show that I am actually type two!!! I am still in shock. I feel like Ive been living a lie for the past 17 years! How could no one have not figured this out before? I have so many questions. I go back to see her next week to decide what we will do from here. But i was curious to know what the name of that pill was so that I can do more research and maybe mention it to her while I'm there.

Id be interested to hear anyone's opinion on this matter. I wasn't always over weight. In fact when i was diagnosed I was probably average weight.

Your diabetes could be managed to a mild level. I might not consider it a lie because it may be that you were a II. Congratulations on the better state of health no matter how you got there.

I took Glucophage (sp?) which "helped" by kicking my butt with "dumping". Yipes that hurt. Good luck.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
