Over the last couple of years my HB1ac was starting to rise, peaking at 61 in June this year despite my weight being stable, but too high at 16 stone. I was 18'5 when diagnosed, went down to 15 stone then very gradually gained a stone.
My HB1ac in June was 61 which I was unhappy about, as was the doctor so he suggested I try Ozempic, at 0.25mg for 2 months then 0.5. In the three months since I have lost a stone without being hungry, and I think I am eating about 500 less calories a day. My new HB1ac was down to 48.
I am hoping that as I lose more weight it will come down further. My diabetes does seem to be very weight related.
So what i wanted to say was that Ozempic seems to work really well, with minimal side effects for me, apart from some gastro-intestinal issues at the start, and sometimes sitting down for a meal that you just cannot force down.
Been diabetic now for 13 years with no complications.
