when does a person decide if a drug they are taking is doing anything? ive been taking ozempic 1 mg for nearly a year (begun at lower doses) and the only thing thats happened is a worsening a1c from 6.6 to 6.8 i dont want to blame the medication but my original reason for trying it was to lower the amount of insulin i use which hasnt happened do i continue to risk side effects for what seems like no benefits? what would you consider in deciding to continue?
An a1c of 6.6 to 6.8 is not really a worsening! I would consider that well within the realm of a measurement error.
