Weight loss drugs

I am a 72yr man with type 2 diabetes and a bmi of 37. Unfortunately I am also under "active surveillance" for stage 2 prostate cancer, which basically involves nothing more than a blood test every 3 months. I only mention this because it is precludes me from accessing any weight loss meds privately. The minute I mention the cancer I am automatically precludes from treatment. Is there anywhere in the UK I can get access to private weight loss treatment?

  1. Hi . Unfortunately, we don't have any UK resources, but I hope a member cimes in and is able to help. Are you aware that we also have communities for people with type 2 diabetes and prostate cancer? Here are links if you are interested: https://type2diabetes.com/ and https://prostatecancer.net/ . I also moderate in the type 2 diabetes community, so feel free to reach out if you join. Were you ever referred to a dietician to help with your diabetes? Often, they can help with obesity as well.
