  I've been treated for Diabetes for a few years now. I no longer need insulin.

  My Doctor has been very supportive.

  Ron Knights As long as you can monitor your condition you need to adapt to a healthy eating habit.

  In the supermarkets there are some good alternatives for you.

  Eating a Low GI (Glicaemic Index) foods will keep you in good shape.

  Keep going, All the best for you.

  If you buy Almond drink as an alternative to Cow's milk make sure it is fortified with vitamin D and calcium. Not all almond drink are fortified for calcium.

  Its probably the Ozempic, I know people who have similar problems from it. Also I never used Ozempic, but I did get horrible GERD/acid reflux from doing carnivore/ketogenic diet for about a year. I had to quit it got so bad. I did lose fat, but felt horrible most of the time. A lot of these diets work to help get rid of the fat, but there is always a price to pay for the quick results. Now I am back on a more moderate mediterranean diet and the GERD is gone and I feel better than ever. Basically listen to your body and also try to eat as you ancestors ate. Odds are that is what will work for you. There's not a one size fits all diet. My grandfather used to eat ice cream every night. He was always thin and healthy his whole life. I started that recently and I've actually lost more weight without even trying. It seems counterintuitive, but it works for me. 2 healthy meals and ice cream at night. Go figure.
