    I think I have hyperfagia and need ozempic but…

    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...

    Ozempic

    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

    Please can someone explain like I’m five…

    If I’m a type 2 diabetic with severe insulin resistance, why does insulin being my sugar levels down but my insulin doesn’t? Secondly, if I do low carb and I have to take insulin for protein to bring my sugar levels down, what is the point in lowering carbs? It seems I have to do it regardless...

    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

    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. I’m gutted because this drug has helped me lose weight and gain good control. I’m also exhausted and barely eat...
