I was put onto Ozempic in May 21, and I am currently on the injection dose of 0.5 and managing my sugars well. I have lost 10kg in 8 weeks (combining this with a low carb diet and complete change of eating habits). I have always been reluctant to start this medication and saw it as a short term aid. I have managed to completely stop my insulin and also Empagliflozin that i was taking. I know I will need to lose a lot more weight (currently 95kg and aiming for at least another 15-20kg off) but I am hoping to be able to come off the Ozempic. Has anyone else managed this transition of using Ozempic for a relatively short time and finding that they can then maintain their sugars through diet or diet/metformin?
