My mother has T2 Diabetes and is in her late seventies. For the last few months, she's been on steroids to manage a condition involving chronic pain.
The steroids work, but her appetite has increased and she's put on quite a bit of weight around her stomach.
She's always been someone with a huge appetite for life who throws herself into things (to a much greater degree than me, tbh). I don't want to spoil eating and drinking for her since that obviously gives her pleasure, but I am worried about the effect on her health.
Is it worth suggesting that she speaks to her GP about semaglutide? Does anyone have experience of it being used in a similar situation?
Tbh, she'll probably tell me to get lost/stop worrying etc. anyway, but I feel I should do something.
