A type 1 diabetic friend of mine who is around 73 ended up in hospital for 4 days from Ozempic. He had several issues with his inner organs. Just be careful using these meds.
Works very well for my DMII. A1C down a full point lower than the oral drugs (6.5 down to 5.5 and holding). It has a similar panel of side effects to what my friends that have had gastric bypass experience (minus the iron absorption hinderance) but it did not require surgery and I can stop it if i need to (a possibility for some procedures/surgeries, etc.). I also do not have the issue I had with metformin (Januvia did work pretty well for me as an alternative to metformin) Just like the gastric bypass, you don't have carte blanc to eat anything and everything and just let the drug do the work. You DO have to avoid excessive fat, and excessive food consumption generally. It DID nearly eliminate the "food noise" that was constantly droning in my head to eat. So much so I forget to eat cause I'm not hungry .... YMMV and I would not suggest it just for weight loss (50lbs so far, but it's a good side effect of the A1C reduction) but for DMII sufferers, it is an important new and effective tool. No insomnia here, btw.
Yup but I can't get it because people that don't have it are taking it. There for its always on back order. My a1c Is 10.9 has gone down. To 9 with eating better . I would love to try ozempic. I see some people are ok on it.
@@sarahsilva3481 yes! It took about 6 months of stepping up dosage but at around the 6 month mark he started dropping the weight because he was less hungry. He also lost his taste for beer, but not vodka haha
@@tracyharris7 well thats good to hear that it works for some people. You know what it's probably better to drink vodka then beer anyway less calories? 🤷♀️ I think?
He found three whole comments re insomnia. Out of how many comments? Come on now. All meds have side effects for some. An obese, type II diabetic has bigger fish to fry (bake 😉).
So crazy because you could lose 22 pounds easily without taking drugs and I’ve had my clients A1c numbers drop dramatically without drugs. I just hate this drug and what it’s doing to this industry. Horrible!
My a1c was 10.9 went down to 9 ....taking glipizide and metformin.....my dr won't take me off metformin I want to try ozempic but dr says none of his patients can get it because it's on back order.
I’m 300# and since my blood sugar is fine my insurance says no. My insurance also says no to medical weight loss clinics. My union insurance company once did cover such things but since Obama they no longer have too. Weight is not a health risk where the new health insurance rules are concerned.
Find out if your health insurance will supplement your gym membership. Also ask your primary to refer you to physical therapy for targeted weight loss exercises. Believe me, you DON'T want the quick fix Rx's like these, they cause more problems than they solve. ps - I used to weigh over 400lbs. Diet and exercise work.

Lol personally. If it's not natural I rTher stay away from it.
Please don't try other drugs. It's risky
Explosive flatulence!
Seriously???
Yeah? I've heard it's more common to get backed up for days...
@@MitchCalvert wow...
The guy on the radio show I listen to says the same thing. He said it was awful.
Type 2 diabetic taking Ozempic Trying my best to get off of it. Lots of side effects
Wow...I can't believe what I'm reading I'm type 2 and can't even get it.. its on back order. Does it give u a bad stomach?
@@sarahsilva3481 yes
Isn’t Ozempic used for diabetes type II?

yes it is but people are taking it for weight lose which means at times we cannot get any

No issue for my husband. His weight and a1c is down.
Thats good to hear so I guess it's only some people....im type 2 I can't get it. It's on back order. Is he less hungry?

@@sarahsilva3481 true 😆
Anyone taking medications is playing with fire. Yes that includes medications for health conditions. Change yiur lifestyle

My husband’s A1c went down From 9.7 to 6.4 in 6 months and has lost 22 lbs. but it hasn’t been smooth sailing not a fun ride
Trade offs for sure, but probably worth it with that high an A1C and the risk factors of eventual Type 2 diabetes.

ps - I used to weigh over 400lbs. Diet and exercise work.
I took it and three days later had to have my appendix removed
What?!?? are you serious?
Omg!! Maybe I won't try it...... what was your a1c ? Or were you taking it just for weight loss?
My a1c was 9.2 I wouldn't recommend taking it
