They do, however, accept HSA cards to pay for your order
[2] [10] The low risk of hypoglycaemia when used as monotherapy or with metformin is another important benefit, as the glucose-dependent mechanism of insulin secretion means these medicines do not typically cause dangerously low blood sugar levels

If nausea becomes severe or persistent, it is important to consult your GP, as dose adjustment or additional supportive measures may be required
Foods to prioritise for their fibre content and overall nutritional value include: Whole grains : Oats, barley, quinoa, brown rice, wholemeal bread, and whole-wheat pasta provide sustained energy and both types of fibre Legumes : Lentils, chickpeas, black beans, and kidney beans offer protein alongside substantial fibre content Vegetables : Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, carrots, sweet potatoes, and leafy greens supply vitamins, minerals, and fibre Fruits : Berries, apples (with skin), pears, oranges, and kiwi fruit provide soluble fibre and antioxidants Seeds and nuts : Chia seeds, flaxseeds, almonds, and walnuts offer healthy fats alongside fibre (keep to a small handful for portion control) Psyllium husk : A concentrated fibre supplement that can be added to smoothies or yoghurt (take with plenty of water and separate from other oral medicines by at least 2 hours) Foods to limit or avoid , particularly during the initial treatment phase or when experiencing digestive symptoms: Ultra-processed foods : These typically contain minimal fibre and may worsen blood glucose control High-fat, greasy foods : These can exacerbate nausea and slow digestion further, compounding GLP-1 effects Excessive simple sugars : Sweets, sugary drinks, and refined carbohydrates offer no fibre and may cause blood glucose fluctuations Alcohol : This can increase nausea risk and provides empty calories that may undermine weight management goals
Oxidative stress happens through several ways: Homocysteine goes through oxidation and auto-oxidation [18] Low folate reduces antioxidant enzyme activities, including superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase [18] These changes create an environment that hurts cell function [18] Folate supplements can work as antioxidants by lowering homocysteine levels and boosting intraerythrocyte glutathione directly [19]
