Had any experience with GLP-1?
I have type-2 diabetes, seems like I have High cholesterol despite a healthy diet, the doctor said it is primarily caused by genetics.
Endocrinology recommended GLP-1 to help me with my diabetes and high cholesterol. But he also mentioned that there is a 0.4 - 1% chance I might get pancreatitis. I have mild to severe side effects with allopathy medicine, I even have metformin intolerance, so the doctor prescribed me imeglimin.
I understand the risk of high cholesterol and such. He also said I can take it for 3 to 6 months, then I can just try to maintain. But also he mentioned I have to inject GLP-1 throughout my life, if I don't want reversal, since high cholesterol could be genetic.
My concern is GLP-1 causing pancreatitis. With fibromyalgia I'm worried about handling it in the future. If not do I have to live on GLP-1 forever?
