Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="AndBreathe" data-source="post: 2530963" data-attributes="member: 88961">The thing is, most GPs will refer to the NICE Guidelines for medication pathways, and that gives Ozempic and the like a few paces on from Metformin.Ozempic isn't the weightloss silver bullet that some would have us believe.  We have had people on the forum who have found their weight didn't shift at all.  It also comes with the usual risks of side-effects, including nausea and vomiting.  Those could obviously help with weight loss, but in a very unpleasant way.My advice to you would be that you don't latch on to any individual drug, but look at the bigger picture, including your mental health.  Diabetes isn't a lot of fun, but there are worse things to live with, for sure.Take it steady.</blockquote>
