Hi was recently put on metformin. O was already on diamicron and jaunivia but my BSL regardless what I ate where getting high my Endocrinologist said my BSL are ok but could be better. So was put on metformin in October 25 but I became severely bloated and gassy and having crohns colitis was causing lots of issues for me. So he has suggested trailing ozempic but stoping metformin and jaunivia. He is also wanting me to lower my dose to half of the standard starting dose for 4 weeks than move to the starting dose 0.25mg then stay on this till I see him again in 3 months. I haven't gotten prescription filled as yet but I've read that ozempic may help with weight lost but can cause muscle wastage as well. I'm ok with the weight lost if that happens but a bit concerned about muscle wastage anyone have any suggestions to help prevent muscle wastage whilst on ozempic and any thing else I may need to also be aware of. Thank you if you read to here and appreciate any information
Cheers.
