I've been #debs g I had over a year on Ozempic. It helped me lose 2 stone. I've kept more than 1/2 of that off since refusing to pay $500/pen. My words of caution would be very sparing with the drug. If you start out with 0.25/week and only gradually move up as necessary you'd avoid all the...

I'm in the US and I'm on Ozempic. I had an A1c done in January and that came in at 6.5 (just inside the diabetic threshold). Last 6 years I controlled my T2DM via daily exercise of either 90 minutes cycling or 75 min uphill hiking. I'm down now nearly 2 stone, but more exactly 25lbs. I've got 15...

If you can get along with it, have a word with your PCP or your endocrinologist about Ozempic. I'm down 23lbs and I don't think I'm actively suffering as from DM. I'm out of town at the moment but when I get back to Los Angeles I'll get a fresh A1c done to confirm.

Novo Nordisk the manufacturer of Ozempic is having issues delivering the drug.

@Simes2112 That is a lot of weight to have lost in a short period of time and congratulations on that success! I've been on Ozempic since January. I'm only down 18 lbs right now and have somewhat stalled out. You didn't mention the size of your current dose that you're taking. I'm now up to...

Novo Nordisk the manufacturer of Ozempic is having issues delivering the drug. I weighed myself this morning and I'm down 19 lbs in 5+ months. I can feel the improvement in my feet vis a vis neuropathy. I walk about 3 miles every day in the afternoon. I know that in the UK drug companies are...

Has anyone on this thread asked their DSN about GLP-1 Agonists? Like Ozempic yet? In the US Ozempic is all the rage and thousands of patients are losing weight and getting their lives back together.

I'm now on Ozempic for 21 weeks or about 5 months. I have only just started to go to more than 0.5 mg/week. I've been giving myself 2 injections / week one of 15 clicks (= 3days of dosing) & one of 20 clicks (= 4 days of dosing). I've just upped my dose by 1 click / day. For those that don't...

Have you read any of Dr Jason Fung's work or any of his books? Complete Guide To Fasting (Heal Your Body Through Intermittent, Alternate-Day, and Extended Fasting) available from Amazon

I've found this video about losing insulin resistance from Dr. Annette Boswell important to me. Instead of eating in the evenings I try and drink just green tea from about 4pm onwards and give my body a chance to lower my weight over the longer haul.. So I eat a good meal in the mornings a...

Semaglutide is the name of this new injectable drug. Ozempic is the size of the dose. Originally here in the USA you could get Ozempic up to 1.0 mg /week. The FDA has allowed the size of the dose to now be 2.0 mg / week. There is another two variants of this drug. Wegovy is the same drug but...

@shamrock69 Thanks for making us all aware of what side effects can occur. I had an eye exam done back in early January. The ophthalmologist, gave me a clean bill of health vis a vis my eyes, and said to come back in a year's time. On the + (-) side of things I'm now 13 weeks in and down 15lbs...

@maruam1851 How about looking into Ozempic? I think its now available in the UK from the NHS? If you have to pay out of pocket, (which I've done) its should be about 120 Quid / 4mg pen.. I started myself on Ozempic on the 10th of January 2022. I'm now down 14lbs. I've got 30lbs more to go but...

@happy I'm 3 months in on Ozempic. I'm suffer from T2DM. I 'm making good progress I'm down 13lbs. & I'm starting to sleep better. Taking Ozempic is a struggle at first (with the side effects) but I'm making it happen. I'm on 0.5mg/week so with the large pen I'm making it last 8 weeks. Hope...

Have a look (now that its available in the UK) at Ozempic. I've been on it 3 months and I'm down 13lbs. I hope my A1c will be lower next time around. Talk to your diabetic nurse or endocrinologist soon!

I'm 10 weeks in on Ozempic. I started with 2 weeks at 0.25mg then 2 weeks at 0.385mg since then every week at 0.5mg. I've found that it takes a while to get going. This last week has been quite amazing. The weight seems to be coming off fast. I'm down 4 lbs since Monday. To me there seems to be...

Hi @Pipp I've experienced nausea, soft stools, and constipation. Everyone's experience is different. One has to think of this as a genuine medicine. It is a medicine it is in one's system and it doesn't "Taste" nice. I'm working on fasting from lunchtime onwards. That should lower my basal...

@Pipp I'm on my 7th week (= 7th injection). I'm down 8lbs, from 226.8lbs. Nothing amazing but steady weight loss. I started with 0.25mg/week for two weeks then 0.385mg /week for two weeks and now three weeks at 0.5mg. I'm not in a rush to up my dose. The side effects at times are rough. Yet...

I'm four weeks in and on my 5th dose of Semaglutide. It is not a tough drug to use but I sense I've got the very faint smell of stale diesel in my mouth all the time. I take weekly injections and the drug is known to lower one's weight. I plan on being on the drug for about 1 year to lose about...
