My Journey to halt/end my psoriasis

[Sheila]

Wow   

Great job!  I'm sure it wasn't easy!!!

Hi KatT,

Oddly enough, losing the weight was easy. After I kicked the gluten habit and getting a huge helping hand from Ozempic ( a diabetic drug), I have now lost 30 lbs. You see, Ozempic KILLS your appetite. Drink 8 0z. of water and you feel like you have just eaten a 12 oz. steak and a baked potato. So no problem. Trouble is I have to force myself to eat so my blood sugars don't bottom out. It's a cross I am willing to bear however.

Cheers!

Ohhhh!  I will keep that in mind    my last blood sugar tests weren't so good and I may end up having to take medication for diabetes  

Start by kicking that gluten out of your life. It's amazing how it will effect your psoriasis and it will help your A1C too. So give it a shot! And yes, Ozempic is a good med. See, Manitoba doesn't cover the cost for insulin, but does cover the cost of Ozempic. I am also taking Metformin. I hope you can turn things around, KatT! I hope you aren't diagnosed with diabetes. It isn't the end of the line though, if you do. I can and will support you, if and when you are diagnosed with diabetes. Although, I suspect that I will have to do that through PM's as this is a Psa site.
