    Ozempic side effects

    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.

    Is anyone on oral meds and insulin?

    They didn’t check it when I was diagnosed or after. I doctor did a c peptide test and saw I was producing a lot of insulin so they changed my diagnosis. I’ve tried tresiba and Lantus but I feel levermier is the quickest to change and respond if needed.
