Okay so I’m a type 2 diabetic on ozempic, metformin and empagliflozin and insulin. Ozempic is the only drug that stops the hunger from being SEVERE and I mean I can eat a full roast dinner and dessert and I’m still hungry. I don’t ever feel full. Diagnosed as a type 1 at 26 years old but...

I’ve tried trulicity but that was even worse sadly. Not tried any others though.

Actually I lied [emoji23] I have, it’s in my beside drawer.

I don’t think I have…thanks

I’m at my wits end. I’ve been on and off Ozempic for two years I think, could be less. It worked but side effects nearly sent me crazy so I came off, went back on because it’s the only thing that helps my glucose levels… On and off throughout. I’ve had enough now— [emoji90] accident in the...

I’ve tried to change it on here but it won’t let me—I will aim to get to a desktop to change this as I’m on insulin. Thank you

I could’ve wrote this. I’ve been tested for everything but apparently I’m a type 2 diabetic with severe insulin resistance. I am on ozempic, metformin, jardiance and insulin. It’s a nightmare but my eating doesn’t help. I eat carbs (hides) but I’m really trying not to

Just here to say I’m in the same boat, be kind to yourself. It’s hard sometimes.

Thanks everyone. I’ve just heard of the antiviral stuff so if I’m still feeling this bad on Monday I’ll give the doctor a call.

Hi, Has anyone here had Covid? I’ve got it right now and I’m struggling with the symptoms. Major tiredness and spaced out etc, blocked nose and sore throat with cough. I felt I was getting better but I’m now on day 8 and feel like I’ve got the flu. I don’t have shortness of breath and my...

Hi all. I’m on 1mg weekly of ozempic and the diarreah has become almost unbearable. I feel like I’ve got food poisoning and I can’t even go for a walk without fear of a sudden onset. I’m gutted because this drug has helped me lose weight and gain good control. I’m also exhausted and barely eat...
