T2D and UC

Rant/advice request. The weekend my first UC flare started my blood sugar crashed as my body was using the Ozempic too well even though I was only on .25 ( my meds had been steadily decreased since April due to lower blood sugars and this is where we landed). During trying to find out why I was so sick I had my A1C taken and it was 5.9 - the silver lining in my life at the time. Now fast forward to yesterday. A1C test. Result 7.1. Those of you here with T2D and UC which I understand can negatively affect each other and the diet for one is contraindicated for the other - How do you manage that balance? Any advice?
