Semaglutide not working

My daughter recently restarted oral Semaglutide after not being able to take it due to its unavailability. It really helped when she first started it with weight loss and improved readings. Her recent Hba1c has Increased considerably, however, along with weight gain. Does anyone have any idea why this would be? Thank you 😊

Welcome to the group, Cinka . 😀👍

What did your daughter’s doctor say about the A1c result? What was the A1c? When was the last appointment?

Does your daughter count carbs. for each meal and/or snack?

Thank you, Activity2004. So sorry not to have replied earlier. It's been difficult keeping track of her diabetes journey. Her last Hba1c was 70 which was concerning so Semaglutide was increased and an additional medication added . It hasn't been easy for her 😔 She hasn't been calorie counting but is about to begin the NHS Soup and Shake diet so we're hoping for a miracle! It can be the path to reversal for some, so we're praying that this will be the outcome for her. Thank you for replying to my original post. Do you have any other advice you could give? 🙂
