I just started Ozempic for weight loss today. I had it in my fridge for 2 months because I was afraid of giving myself the injection. Thanks to your video I got my nerve up and did it today. Super easy and no pain!! Thank you so much for this video!
Please let me know how you feel. I'm worried about nausea, but I bought some chewy ginger chews for that at CVS. I hope they work. They were in the nausea section
OMG, thank you for this video!! Even my pharmacist told me to find a RUclips video on how to use!! Your video was VERY clear, easy to understand, and simple step by step instructions. No annoying music or 30 minute annoying intro. You are "straight to the point"!! Thanks again!
I have diabetes and my doctor said this was once a week and it made me so happy. I got it on Friday and found the directions confusing. I searched how to do Ozempic injections on YT and found this video. You are a great teacher in how to do this, thank you! I did my first injection today (Sunday) and this will be the day each week I do it. I’ll watch the video each time until I’m comfortable in flying solo. Thanks for all you do! To help us novices be able to self inject. May my A1C and sugars fall to healthy levels now! ❤
This was extremely helpful! And for those fearing that first injection let me put you at ease. I sat for several minutes trying to build up the courage to stick a needle in my body. Once I finally did it felt like a bit of a let down because I didn’t even feel the needle. Not that I wanted it to hurt but you go through that emotional buildup you expect something after that stress. Never felt it!
There are many tutorials on u tube on how to inject ozempic but yours is the best. Thank you, your instructions are so clear and articulate. I start Ozempic tomorrow.
First of all, here me out, I cried from anixety when my doctor prescribed me ozempic. I am a person who is scared of needles. I can't stand to look at it - my anxiety goes crazy! Watching this video helped a lot and I thank you very much! For those who are like me and cannot for their lives even look at needles or be poked by one, trust me, you will NOT feel it! I had to ensure I even poked the needle in skin b.c. that's how painless it was. I didn't feel a burning sensation either. Thank you!!!
Although I’ve been injecting Ozempic since September, I watch your tutorial every time before injecting. I don’t want to get lazy and miss a step. Thank you for such a thorough tutorial.
@Angel 110 I eat like 1-2 meals anyway. I have had any change yet. I'm sleeping better. I don't feel hungry. I think the diabetes meds were making me hungry, as I was starting to get hungry pains. I haven't lately. I'm a new diagnosed diabetic so I just started taking meds for it like 3 months now.
@Angel 110 my habits haven't changed. I eat like 1 to 2 meals a day anyway. Plenty of fruit. I just did my 2nd injection ( in the thigh). I just weighed myself I'm 223. So we shall see.
I hate needles. Tonight was my first time using Ozempic. My pharmacist explained the basics, but told me there were RUclips videos to watch it being done. Your video was fantastic. You talked me through it step by step. I was successful and it didn't hurt. Thanks for making this video.
April 2023 I was just switched to ozempic a few weeks ago. I messed up 3 injections. First I didn’t take the little cap off. Next a good part of the medication was lost due to improper needle insertion. Then I somehow broke the pen. Your video is an absolute masterpiece! My pharmacist said so. Lol. From my heart i thank you.
Thanks for sharing your comment because today was my first time using the pen and yes I did the absolute same thing you did. I am so mad at myself for not looking at this video. Now I guess I will have to wait until I can get a refill to begin taking it.😢
Terrible instructions on Ozempic packaging. Found this video and it was so easy. Thank you for great video imaging, easy verbal instructions, and confidence in doing the injection with clear, concise visual instructions.
Thank you so much. I was freaking out because the pen made noises each time I twisted either side. I was afraid I was doing the wrong thing or wasting the liquid. This video helped so much. The most important thing to know, for me, is that you can move the dial back and forth, it doesn't "lock" so don't be afraid you may have gone past the setting you need, you can go back. The "flow check" indicator is easy to miss, and that's fine, again, you can move the dial back.
I have been on Ozempic for five weeks now - I have completed the four weeks at 0.25mg injections 1x week and have taken my first 0.50mg injection 1 x week. I have zero problem giving myself an injection since my pharmacist walked me through the steps on how to inject when I picked up my first prescription. So far I have had nausea and some abdominal cramping as side effects. I am about to order my next refill because I like having more ready before I totally use up one prescription, especially if I only have one weekly dose left. Thank you for your videos. I have liked and subscribed to your channel. You have a clear and easy to understand way of teaching that I appreciate. It is hard to wait for May when I have my next scheduled A1C blood draw to see how Ozempic is doing for bringing down my numbers but I will take the early victory of losing 7 lbs so far!!
@@NursingBizness Hi again, it is now May 7th and I just got my A1C results back. With Ozempic I went from 7.4 down to 6.8. I have now lost a total of 11 lbs so far as well. I have been on Ozempic since late February so I may have to go up to the 1mg shot but my doctor and I will decide that when I see him on the 16th of this month. I know he will be pleased with the weight loss and the reduction in my A1C. Neither figure is low enough in my opinion right now although I do feel better now that the side effects have finally subsided. 👋 😎
I started Ozempic ,last week and wow !!! I’ve had so much energy, no sugar cravings !! And less aches in my joints ,trying my best to eat clean and drink lots of water starting weight last week was 126kg today weighed 124,8kg lost 1,2 kg in 1 week 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Just getting started using this and even as a 40+ year RN, the written instructions were ....were...too much. Your video put it in straightforward, easy steps and now...let's do it. Thanks
I’ve been so scared to do my first Ozempic shot. It’s been in my fridge for a few days. But your video give me the courage to just do it. It was so easy, no pain. Your video was a great help.
I'm so glad I found this and I'm even more glad that it was a registered nurse that did the video, because today is the first day of my taking this injection and so I'm excited
I want to thank you for making this very informative video. I started using ozemic a little over a month ago and I saved this video onto my phone so I could just go back and refer to it each time I have to inject. I feel like you're a bit of a lifesaver.
It took me a month to finally do my first shot (0.25). Although I’d watched your video (which is perfect, btw), I was still scared I’d do something wrong. So, I watched it again last week and went for it. Tonight was my second one and you better believe you guided me here again. Thank you SO much!!! ♥️
Thank you so much, I just took my second injection at home with your guidance. My first was at the medical centre with a nurse, but a week is a long time so I wanted to be guided again to make sure I was doing it correctly and your video was just perfect for that! I'm going to be watching this every week until I'm confident. Thank you thank you, from Australia!!!
THANK YOU! I just went back to Walgreens to have the pharmacist show me and he had no idea because he had never opened a box.HETOLD ME TO LOOK ON RUclips! ARRE YOU KIDDIONG ME?! So I did and found BEAUTIFUL YOU! That's the best adsvice from that pharmacist I'll ever get! 1st injection in the books thanks to you!!🙂
Just picked up my prescription yestrday. Went over and over the paper insert with instructions but still was nervous and unclear. Your video has made me more confident. I'll start with my first injection tomorrow morning. Thank you so much!
Thank you! The only instructions my doctor gave me were talk to the pharmacist, and the pharmacist said absolutely nothing. Without your video, I would have no idea what I was doing.
The BEST tutorial that I have come across and done in such a calm and reassuring manner. Here’s to all those who are on this journey. May it be a healthy and blessed one
I just gave my 2nd Ozempic injection. I watched your video 3 times before my 1st injection, and when I gave it, I stopped the vid with each step. It was a breeze. This time, I watched it again and stopped it as I needed to. Thanks for such a helpful video. The needle is painless and the administration is simple, but it's nice to have that comforting instruction so I don't miss a step.
THANK YOU!!!!! I have NEVER even pricked my finger at home much less give myself an injection. I wasted the first dosage by pressing the botton holding the pen sideways in the air! Lol Real smart. I watched your video the night before I got my first pen. And I put you on repeat for my first try. Nothing to it but to do it! Teeny tiny needle. No pain. I will play your video once a week to remind myself what to do. You shouldve seen the first dosage fly through the air. Lol Learning! Thank you. God bless you!!!! ❤❤❤❤
My wife (RN) typically gives me my injection. She's out of town and I don't want to call and bother her, so I watched your video. Thank you so much for posting this! It really helped!
Neither the nurse practitioner nor doctor would give me instructions on the very medication my doctor ordered. I would have been lost without you giving step by step directions on giving myself Ozempic. I have been on it since January; A1C down, weight is down, leg swelling gone, and everything is perfect thanks to your video. Bless you
I did it today I didn't hit the pen for the liquor to come out but hopefully but I have a question when does it start the side effects and if I don't see if I don't see a doctor
@@whaynnaaraujo637 I took mine Fri night (it's mon evening now) and I've felt mostly fine. Barely hungry, when I am it doesn't take much to fill me. If I eat past that point I get nauseated. That's about the only side effect I've had.
I am so glad I found this video. You are a much better instructor than my pharmacist or the printed instructions. I kind of think with the first pain free injection I didn't get all the medication. However going forward thanks to your tutorial I'll be able to perform my other 5 injections perfectly. Can't waste this expensive stuff. Thank you again for providing this valuable information. You are appreciated.
I was really scared. At the doctors, they bacically gave me Ozembic and said I had a prrescription for testing supplies. On to the next patient! Being newly diagnosed with diabetes, I was really scared. Thank you so much for making this video. You really made a difference for me!
I've just done my second dose and appreciate so much your video so I can be sure I'm completing every step. I agree with the previous commentator. You have been a lifesaver. I have confidence in doing it on my own.
Excellent!! Straight to the point!! Step by step!! A child can understand your clear,precise instructions and teaching!!you didn't rush thru your demo and instructions,,and you put my fears so at ease,I couldn't wait to try my new injection pen!! It turned out just as you said!! Wow!! You're good!! Yours is the best how to video I've seen and listened to yet!! Even your voice was soothing,reassuring,kind,,,,,like a mother instructing and explaining to a child!! Best,clear cut video ever!! I refer to it again and again,,,,impressive!!
I just started my Ozempic for Type 2 diabetes. I watched another video, and I didn't hold for 6 seconds. Today was my 3rd week injection. Thank you for your video.
Thank you! I am starting Ozempic today and your video was the BEST one to simply explain how to give the injection. It took away my anxiety about giving myself injections. A+ video!
@@waquar905 it has worked fine for me. I went from 249lbs to a current 233lbs in 3 months and I am not even trying hard. The biggest effect is the decrease in appetite. Don't really want food much and I don't overeat. I have felt no after effects. But it is only a tool, not a miracle. You have to still eat better meals, move around more and change how you deal with food.
Thank you so much for doing this video!I did not know it would be this easy!I was scared and I hate needles! Love that you used a lemon that made me & my family laughed!
I just started ozempic today. Watched your video twice. Then watched it as you walked me through my first injection. Easier than I ever imagined!! Thank you for your video.
Many many thanks for this video!! After watching the video it became as easy as ABC. Once I got delivery I was swamped with instructions. Even the pharmacist advised me to go to a health facility to get the first injection. Then I came to your video the instructions was to the point and crystal clear.and it saved my time, money and the associated hassles.
I just started OZEMPIC yesterday. I read on how to do this.! I was on a different shot for my type 2 Diabetes but they been having trouble getting it. So I decided to talk with my Dr and she put me on this one. Thanks for sharing this video. It will help so many who need a Lil help. Great plus is that it help me loose weight but my goal is to keep my sugar level in great shape. Yes on the another shot help me lose weight. So again thanks for this video.
Oh wow! Im so glad i things your channel first! I was so scared. Following your instructions, when it was done, i was afraid it hadnt actually injected correctly because i literally didn't feel anything! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this vid.
I put off my very first shot for a month because I didn't know how to do it and was a bit afraid. I didn't want to take up an entire doc appointment just for her to show me how to do it. Thank you so much for explaining and showing how to do it from beginning to end with no frills, but with the art of a true teacher. Fantastic nursing!!! Thank you for taking the fear out of it. I had to laugh at myself when I was done, how at easy it turned out to be and didn't even feel the tiny needle!
This is the best layman’s term video on how to use. My older sister will understand this perfectly and will send her the video as she wasn’t sure how to use. Thank you very much!
Thank you. I was calibrating every time (not just the first time with a new pen) to check the flow!! Wasting medication because it was squirting out. Also I didn’t realize I was supposed to hold down the dose injector button at the top for an ADDITIONAL 6 seconds after it was done. I thought just leave it in for an extra 6 seconds- but I wasn’t holding down the button.
I’m a diabetic and metformin was too rough on my tummy so my Dr changed my dose and included ozempic. I’ve never had to give myself an injection for anything before and I am scared of messing this up. So I will be watching and following this video step by step until I’m comfortable 😂 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS
When I looked at the huge paper of tiny instructions, I said, I'm going to look for a video. I watched yours and now I feel much more prepared to do the injection. The nurse showed me how it works, but she didn't go over every step the way you did. Thank you for making this video! 🌹
Thank you just started Ozempic and had to get my first injection at my doctors office cause I had done the injection without the needle my nerves got the best of me but today I did my second injection all by myself through this you tube video.
Even though it's been a few weeks I still come here weekly so I don't miss a step. Thanks so much for this very helpful tutorial!!! I go for my labs tomorrow and will let you know how/if they have improved
Thank you for creating this video. I just starting using ozempic. This is week 2 and seeing how easy it is to inject myself is helpful. So far, I haven't had a lot of side effects, which is great.
@@NursingBizness I am doing well. I am losing about 2 pounds a week, typically. I did have a few side-effects, but only after start the 0.5 dose began. My side effects were feelings of nauseaum and twice I vomitted. The vomitting happened the following day after an injection, but has since stopped.
Best video demo out of the many I have seen. No one else said that the dosage check should be done only once when the pen is new/unused--a question I've had for a long time. Thanks! The med is expensive and I worried about wasting any amount.
Thank you! I have been procrastinating taking my first dose for 2 weeks now because I have been so apprehensive. I have no more fears because of your fantastic explanation and demonstration.
@@selin_ma NO! Start it today…trust me, you will need the weekend to recover. For about 2-3 days I feel like I am constantly seasick 🤢. Thank God for Zofran! They say that will diminish in time but I definitely would not start on a Monday…those days already stink enough haha 😂
@@missyallen4610 I’m taking it tomorrow the sixth time. I’m doing pretty well. Some times I fell nauseous and I have no appetite most of the time. Hope u also have a good start with it! Good luck!
Thank you so much. This was my first time using Ozempic and I was worried about doing it right. Your tutorial was so easy to follow. Thank you for your help!
Thanks for the video! Gave myself my first injection today after watching your video and had no problems. Didn't hurt at all and turned out to be easier than I thought!
Thank you so much for this video, it’s so helpful! I love that it’s to the point and visually & aurally tells the steps so I can follow along. I just took my first dose tonight and was terrified of 1) doing it wrong and wasting doses, 2) possible pain (I hate needles lol), and 3) possible side effects to come. You’ve helped me overcome 2 of the 3 now, so here’s hoping I manage the side effects well and that all my issues with blood sugar, cholesterol, weight, etc etc come under control and allow me to live my life in some ease again. Thank you! ❤
@@missyallen4610 I promise you that it is the most pain free thing you will ever do. The needle is so tiny and you don’t feel it go in. Just make sure you hold the button down until it gets back to zero then count to 6. Really easy! I promise. I’m on week 5 today and it’s so easy!
Quick question… do you use the pen once? Does one pay for different pens? And then you get different syringes and vials? I got a doctor who is selling it for £250 per pen and I’m just trying to figure out if it’s once per week and have to use it for a couple of month and the pens as single use then that’s expensive
@NursingBizness so glad I watched the video. I was able to help a lady at a pharmacy in Las Vegas. I work at a PBM and got a call from a lady who didn't take off the inner cap. I referred her to your video after I explained where she could find the video.
My Ozempic sat in the refrigerator for a month because I'm afraid of needles as well but after watching your video, I can finally conjure up the courage to inject myself. Thank you for the video no pain no gain.
Started Ozempic in October. Already lost 14 pounds because I'm not hungry all the time anymore! Simple and informative video. Very easy to follow instructions. Thank you. March 13, 2023 Good news and bad news: Lost another 10 pounds. Insurance won't cover my Ozempic anymore. Gonna use my last dose this week, then I'm starting Victoza next week. Insurance will cover Victoza to a degree...
I can update in more detail now that it's been almost 3 months. I started Sep. 12th and weighed exactly 169. Lbs I immediately started seeing results losing about 4.5 pounds weekly. Taking the lowest dose I never felt any nausea or any symptom. It was easier to fast 16 - 18 hours and eat only the recommended portions or even less because I wasn't hungry at all. Today is Dec. 10th and I am 136. Lbs. Still using up the last bit of my Ozempic pen. I calculate another 3 shots so 3 more weeks. I feel great, fit into my old size 7 clothes comfortably. I had a full suitcase in storage of clothes that were too small 😅 Nos they fit. Once in a while I miss my noodles so I only consume Konjac noodles. And when I want a sweet, I eat 3 dates or prunes. I also take vitamin D and K after I snack on 8 cashews. I'm scared to feel excessive hunger once my Ozempic is finished but hope that because my stomach has shrunk a lot I'll be able to keep my healthy lifestyle. Water and coffee have also helped a lot to curb any appetite or cravings. Hope this helps somewhat.
Forgot to also mention that originally I wanted to go down to 130 but 135 lbs is better for my height of 5.2 The last 5 lbs are a pain in the butt! I lost most of the weight in 2 months. The last 5 are taking a whole month! You have to stick to your diet and walk or swim the last bit is stubborn
Thank you much for this content. I am a registered nurse and was still Leary about administering my 1st dose. I do appreciate you and thank you and I am subscribed now
I just started this today, my PCP demonstrate in the office for me, but i just now started using it and your video was very easy to understand . Thank you
I really like your video! I've come to count on it. I watch it even when I don't have to prime my pen just to make sure I get it right. The one time I didn't I broke the crank on my pen somehow. So thank you for sharing.
Super clear and simple instructions. Thank you! I just started tonight and nobody showed me how, although I had to administer other insulin injections to people I was looking after.
Today was my first day with ozempic. I am a diabetic. Also overweight I was afraid to do it because I didn’t want to mess it up. Medication is expensive but thank you so much for your video. It was simple informative. It was so great of you to share that with us scaredy cats lol.
I was just prescribed Ozempic on yesterday and took my first dose last night. I struggled with giving myself the shot and found it Video. Thank you for such clear instructions!
Thank you for this! I wasn’t sure if the amount of liquid in the clear part should have decreased or not but I noticed there was no difference in your example. I think I did it right!
@@Ohgrowup1 sorry I’m so late to respond to this. I hate to say I have made absolutely no progress at all on ozempic. I’ve been on 1mg for at least a couple months now and nothing! No side effects at all :(
I read the directions in the box, but it said my doctor should show me how to inject. I called the doctor, whoever answered the phone said "just watch RUclips". Thank you for your informative video. It was painless!
My pharmacist tried really hard to explain this to me, but I was so confused. Thank you for the video! I'm terrified of the side effects and to do the shot but I think I can do it now. ❤
it was suggested to me, that you should take the pen out of the fridge for 10 minutes let it get closer to room temp, and the test flow, point the needle down, to let the drop of ozempic fall OFF the needle, rather than coat the outside of the needle, for people with possible reactions to their skin
Omg thank you so much for sharing this video I have been waisting my shots by completing the process everytime I put on a new needle I was wasting the fluid! Now I know the process is for every new pen not needle! Again thank you so much!
I just started Ozempic for weight loss today. I had it in my fridge for 2 months because I was afraid of giving myself the injection. Thanks to your video I got my nerve up and did it today. Super easy and no pain!! Thank you so much for this video!

Please let me know how you feel. I'm worried about nausea, but I bought some chewy ginger chews for that at CVS. I hope they work. They were in the nausea section
I did the same thing! I was terrified I would waste an injection! This video made it easy!
@@brandelynmarie I would like to see your results too. I'll update mine on this thread if I can.
@@nituna27 I’m ok so far, but I’m still in the low dose. I do feel less hungry and get full quickly. The only thing I’ve been having is watery stool.
OMG, thank you for this video!! Even my pharmacist told me to find a RUclips video on how to use!! Your video was VERY clear, easy to understand, and simple step by step instructions. No annoying music or 30 minute annoying intro. You are "straight to the point"!! Thanks again!
Thanks for the kind words! No need for fluff!
Same here and that is why I looked for a video myself.
You can find a "how to do video " on RUclips for just about anything.
Thank you for the video. I had been doing it wrong half the time with the Ozempic pen. It is not just "inject". There are methodical steps.
Smart Pharmacist!
I’m 2 weeks in. SW 205 CW 199. A little nausea, never hungry. Also no thirst queues. Please keep yourselves hydrated!!!!
Agreed - hydration is very important!
Yesssss me😮😢

Patti, your words are beyond kind. I am rooting for your success from afar! I have had many patients succeed on this medication.
Do u have to refrigerate after use?
@@monserratelapuerta2320 Nope, it’s stable for 50+ days at room temp.
How does this help with weight loss?
It says keep refrigerated on my label
This was extremely helpful! And for those fearing that first injection let me put you at ease. I sat for several minutes trying to build up the courage to stick a needle in my body. Once I finally did it felt like a bit of a let down because I didn’t even feel the needle. Not that I wanted it to hurt but you go through that emotional buildup you expect something after that stress. Never felt it!
😂 Glad you went through with it!
Me too 😂
I've watched so many TikToks where no one even flinches, so I'm not worried! :D
I didn't feel it either! I hate needles and I literally had to make sure it was when in because I could NOT feel it at all. Not even a small pinch.
@@lynn9229 the needle goes in less than 1/2".
There are many tutorials on u tube on how to inject ozempic but yours is the best. Thank you, your instructions are so clear and articulate. I start Ozempic tomorrow.
Thank you so much for the kind words!
I agree with this, I start tomorrow and this is the fifth I’ve watched and it’s been the most clear and showed everything perfect
Kike Flores 👋 how is ozempic working for you? I start this weekend
How were results?
I Absolutely agree! My 10 year old even said, "Mom, her voice is so soothing and helps you to feel comfortable! "
Pharmacies should use your video to teach patients how to use it. Very concise and clear well done!
Thank you so much, it’s bizarre they prescribe without any guidance
First of all, here me out, I cried from anixety when my doctor prescribed me ozempic. I am a person who is scared of needles. I can't stand to look at it - my anxiety goes crazy!
Watching this video helped a lot and I thank you very much!
For those who are like me and cannot for their lives even look at needles or be poked by one, trust me, you will NOT feel it! I had to ensure I even poked the needle in skin b.c. that's how painless it was. I didn't feel a burning sensation either.
Thank you!!!
Hooray 🎉🎉🎉
OMG!!! Easy clear instructions with NO BS whatsoever. Thank you so much!
You're welcome! 😊
Although I’ve been injecting Ozempic since September, I watch your tutorial every time before injecting. I don’t want to get lazy and miss a step. Thank you for such a thorough tutorial.
How much ,if you don't mind have you lost?
How effective is it has ur diet Changed have you lost weight plz do share ur experience with us xx
@Angel 110 I eat like 1-2 meals anyway. I have had any change yet. I'm sleeping better. I don't feel hungry. I think the diabetes meds were making me hungry, as I was starting to get hungry pains. I haven't lately. I'm a new diagnosed diabetic so I just started taking meds for it like 3 months now.

How did you feel in the first week with 0,25?
How has it worked for you?

Thanks for sharing your comment because today was my first time using the pen and yes I did the absolute same thing you did. I am so mad at myself for not looking at this video. Now I guess I will have to wait until I can get a refill to begin taking it.😢
This just happened to me.should I try to inject again? This is my 2nd week
I messed up big time on my first injection. Should of watched this video first. Trust me I know how you feel.
Terrible instructions on Ozempic packaging. Found this video and it was so easy. Thank you for great video imaging, easy verbal instructions, and confidence in doing the injection with clear, concise visual instructions.
Thank you! 😁
Thank you so much. I was freaking out because the pen made noises each time I twisted either side. I was afraid I was doing the wrong thing or wasting the liquid. This video helped so much. The most important thing to know, for me, is that you can move the dial back and forth, it doesn't "lock" so don't be afraid you may have gone past the setting you need, you can go back. The "flow check" indicator is easy to miss, and that's fine, again, you can move the dial back.

@@NursingBizness Thanks, I will definitely come back to share my A1C results. 😁
@@NursingBizness Hi again, it is now May 7th and I just got my A1C results back. With Ozempic I went from 7.4 down to 6.8. I have now lost a total of 11 lbs so far as well. I have been on Ozempic since late February so I may have to go up to the 1mg shot but my doctor and I will decide that when I see him on the 16th of this month. I know he will be pleased with the weight loss and the reduction in my A1C. Neither figure is low enough in my opinion right now although I do feel better now that the side effects have finally subsided. 👋 😎
This is excellent! I’m so proud of you for sticking with it - your results are amazing. I bet you feel amazing 😀
@Dana Biryukova did you ever get an answer to your ?
I started Ozempic ,last week and wow !!! I’ve had so much energy, no sugar cravings !! And less aches in my joints ,trying my best to eat clean and drink lots of water starting weight last week was 126kg today weighed 124,8kg lost 1,2 kg in 1 week 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I'm so happy for you ❤
Just getting started using this and even as a 40+ year RN, the written instructions were ....were...too much. Your video put it in straightforward, easy steps and now...let's do it. Thanks
Yes! The written instructions were annoying
Thank you, this video was much better than the printed instructions that came in the box
I read the instructions that came with it and the paper is so big it looks like a map! Your video made it so much simpler! Thank you!
I’ve been so scared to do my first Ozempic shot. It’s been in my fridge for a few days. But your video give me the courage to just do it. It was so easy, no pain. Your video was a great help.
That’s awesome to hear! 😊
Where did you inject.? Just curious. I'm about to do my first one
@NursingBizness 😮

@NursingBizness 😮
I'm so glad I found this and I'm even more glad that it was a registered nurse that did the video, because today is the first day of my taking this injection and so I'm excited
ITS GOING TO BE MY FIRST TIME USING, SO I DECIDED TO FIND A VIDEO, AND FOUND YOURS, IT WAS LOTS OF HELP. THANK YOU.
Just took my first injection while watching your video…thanks for making it clear and easy!
I want to thank you for making this very informative video. I started using ozemic a little over a month ago and I saved this video onto my phone so I could just go back and refer to it each time I have to inject. I feel like you're a bit of a lifesaver.
It took me a month to finally do my first shot (0.25). Although I’d watched your video (which is perfect, btw), I was still scared I’d do something wrong. So, I watched it again last week and went for it. Tonight was my second one and you better believe you guided me here again. Thank you SO much!!! ♥️
That’s awesome! Come back anytime. I am putting out a video soon on the different injection sites with some tips and tricks 😃
Yes me too I just found out where was the 0.25 ty😊
@@NursingBizness have you had a chance to make another video on the different injection sites ? Highly considering this medication.
@@tgf5652 ruclips.net/video/LYGweW3YkJY/видео.html
I don’t have the options i just have 1 ml on my pen.. should i go for it ? Its my first time
Thank you so much, I just took my second injection at home with your guidance. My first was at the medical centre with a nurse, but a week is a long time so I wanted to be guided again to make sure I was doing it correctly and your video was just perfect for that! I'm going to be watching this every week until I'm confident. Thank you thank you, from Australia!!!
Awesome to hear! Glad it was helpful 😎
THANK YOU! I just went back to Walgreens to have the pharmacist show me and he had no idea because he had never opened a box.HETOLD ME TO LOOK ON RUclips! ARRE YOU KIDDIONG ME?! So I did and found BEAUTIFUL YOU! That's the best adsvice from that pharmacist I'll ever get! 1st injection in the books thanks to you!!🙂
Just picked up my prescription yestrday. Went over and over the paper insert with instructions but still was nervous and unclear. Your video has made me more confident. I'll start with my first injection tomorrow morning. Thank you so much!
I was terrified of using ozempic. Of doing something wrong. But your tutorial is a massive help!
How has it worked for you?
Did you have to use an organic lemon, or is non organic OK?
Thank you! The only instructions my doctor gave me were talk to the pharmacist, and the pharmacist said absolutely nothing. Without your video, I would have no idea what I was doing.
I’m so glad you found the video! How frustrating to get the run around 🙃
Thank you, I started ozimpic tonight. The actual written instructions were confusing. You made it easy.
The BEST tutorial that I have come across and done in such a calm and reassuring manner. Here’s to all those who are on this journey. May it be a healthy and blessed one
I just gave my 2nd Ozempic injection. I watched your video 3 times before my 1st injection, and when I gave it, I stopped the vid with each step. It was a breeze. This time, I watched it again and stopped it as I needed to. Thanks for such a helpful video. The needle is painless and the administration is simple, but it's nice to have that comforting instruction so I don't miss a step.
THANK YOU!!!!! I have NEVER even pricked my finger at home much less give myself an injection. I wasted the first dosage by pressing the botton holding the pen sideways in the air! Lol Real smart. I watched your video the night before I got my first pen. And I put you on repeat for my first try. Nothing to it but to do it! Teeny tiny needle. No pain. I will play your video once a week to remind myself what to do. You shouldve seen the first dosage fly through the air. Lol Learning! Thank you. God bless you!!!! ❤❤❤❤
What a sweet message - thank you so much for watching! 🥰😁
I’ve been using Ozempic for a month now because of your video I realized I was using the pen improperly thank you so much for posting this
My wife (RN) typically gives me my injection. She's out of town and I don't want to call and bother her, so I watched your video. Thank you so much for posting this! It really helped!
That’s awesome! Nurses are always on-call for family/friends 😃
Neither the nurse practitioner nor doctor would give me instructions on the very medication my doctor ordered. I would have been lost without you giving step by step directions on giving myself Ozempic. I have been on it since January; A1C down, weight is down, leg swelling gone, and everything is perfect thanks to your video. Bless you
I just started my Ozempic journey. Your video gave me the courage to take my first shot! So easy, no pain. Thank you, for clear and easy instructions
You’ve got this! You are going to do great 😌
How's it going?? I'm so scared of side effects!
I did it today I didn't hit the pen for the liquor to come out but hopefully but I have a question when does it start the side effects and if I don't see if I don't see a doctor
@@whaynnaaraujo637 I took mine Fri night (it's mon evening now) and I've felt mostly fine. Barely hungry, when I am it doesn't take much to fill me. If I eat past that point I get nauseated. That's about the only side effect I've had.
@@mirandaclark7186 thank you so much
I am so glad I found this video. You are a much better instructor than my pharmacist or the printed instructions. I kind of think with the first pain free injection I didn't get all the medication. However going forward thanks to your tutorial I'll be able to perform my other 5 injections perfectly. Can't waste this expensive stuff. Thank you again for providing this valuable information. You are appreciated.
Do you keep using same pin
I was really scared. At the doctors, they bacically gave me Ozembic and said I had a prrescription for testing supplies. On to the next patient! Being newly diagnosed with diabetes, I was really scared. Thank you so much for making this video. You really made a difference for me!
Thank you for the kind words!
I've just done my second dose and appreciate so much your video so I can be sure I'm completing every step. I agree with the previous commentator. You have been a lifesaver. I have confidence in doing it on my own.
That is so sweet - thank you so much!
Excellent!! Straight to the point!! Step by step!! A child can understand your clear,precise instructions and teaching!!you didn't rush thru your demo and instructions,,and you put my fears so at ease,I couldn't wait to try my new injection pen!! It turned out just as you said!! Wow!! You're good!! Yours is the best how to video I've seen and listened to yet!! Even your voice was soothing,reassuring,kind,,,,,like a mother instructing and explaining to a child!! Best,clear cut video ever!! I refer to it again and again,,,,impressive!!
I just started my Ozempic for Type 2 diabetes. I watched another video, and I didn't hold for 6 seconds.
Today was my 3rd week injection. Thank you for your video.
Thank you! I am starting Ozempic today and your video was the BEST one to simply explain how to give the injection. It took away my anxiety about giving myself injections.
A+ video!
How was your experience? Did you lost some weight?
@@waquar905 it has worked fine for me. I went from 249lbs to a current 233lbs in 3 months and I am not even trying hard. The biggest effect is the decrease in appetite. Don't really want food much and I don't overeat.
I have felt no after effects. But it is only a tool, not a miracle. You have to still eat better meals, move around more and change how you deal with food.
Thank you so much for doing this video!I did not know it would be this easy!I was scared and I hate needles! Love that you used a lemon that made me & my family laughed!
So glad it went well!
This was SO helpful. Thank you. Wasn’t sure how long to turn it to my dosage. Tonight was my first time using it. God bless you.
I just started ozempic today. Watched your video twice. Then watched it as you walked me through my first injection. Easier than I ever imagined!! Thank you for your video.
Many many thanks for this video!! After watching the video it became as easy as ABC. Once I got delivery I was swamped with instructions. Even the pharmacist advised me to go to a health facility to get the first injection. Then I came to your video the instructions was to the point and crystal clear.and it saved my time, money and the associated hassles.
Whew! Your tutorial was so much easier to follow than the giant page of instructions! Thanks!!
You are welcome! You wouldn’t believe how many times I had to read that giant page of instructions! 😅
The instructions are too much gave me anxiety
Ty, straight to the point with no extra babble. I appreciate that
They don’t call me Biz for nothing!
Just took my first shot today. Thank you for walking me through it!
Same with me 😂
I just started OZEMPIC yesterday. I read on how to do this.! I was on a different shot for my type 2 Diabetes but they been having trouble getting it. So I decided to talk with my Dr and she put me on this one. Thanks for sharing this video. It will help so many who need a Lil help. Great plus is that it help me loose weight but my goal is to keep my sugar level in great shape. Yes on the another shot help me lose weight. So again thanks for this video.
Oh wow! Im so glad i things your channel first! I was so scared. Following your instructions, when it was done, i was afraid it hadnt actually injected correctly because i literally didn't feel anything! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this vid.
Me tooo!
I put off my very first shot for a month because I didn't know how to do it and was a bit afraid. I didn't want to take up an entire doc appointment just for her to show me how to do it. Thank you so much for explaining and showing how to do it from beginning to end with no frills, but with the art of a true teacher. Fantastic nursing!!! Thank you for taking the fear out of it. I had to laugh at myself when I was done, how at easy it turned out to be and didn't even feel the tiny needle!
It’s such a tiny needle, isn’t it?!? 😎
This was so quick easy and absolutely painless! Couldn’t be easier! Thank you! I watched your helpful video and it was a pleasant experience!
Awesome to hear this!
This is a fantastic tutorial. So easy to follow in real time.
Thank you for such a great step by step instructions. It was extremely helpful.
This is the best layman’s term video on how to use. My older sister will understand this perfectly and will send her the video as she wasn’t sure how to use. Thank you very much!
Thank you. I was calibrating every time (not just the first time with a new pen) to check the flow!! Wasting medication because it was squirting out. Also I didn’t realize I was supposed to hold down the dose injector button at the top for an ADDITIONAL 6 seconds after it was done. I thought just leave it in for an extra 6 seconds- but I wasn’t holding down the button.
that keeps happening to me? what am I doing wrong?
Thank you, that was so easy! I had been procrastinating on this for two months. But you video made the process seamless.
I’m a diabetic and metformin was too rough on my tummy so my Dr changed my dose and included ozempic. I’ve never had to give myself an injection for anything before and I am scared of messing this up. So I will be watching and following this video step by step until I’m comfortable 😂 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS
You got this! ☺️
How has your stomach been on this]?
@@fallenangelapril it’s been fine. I haven’t lost any weight though 🙄
When I looked at the huge paper of tiny instructions, I said, I'm going to look for a video. I watched yours and now I feel much more prepared to do the injection. The nurse showed me how it works, but she didn't go over every step the way you did. Thank you for making this video! 🌹
Thank you just started Ozempic and had to get my first injection at my doctors office cause I had done the injection without the needle my nerves got the best of me but today I did my second injection all by myself through this you tube video.
That’s awesome. Best of luck 😎
Even though it's been a few weeks I still come here weekly so I don't miss a step. Thanks so much for this very helpful tutorial!!! I go for my labs tomorrow and will let you know how/if they have improved
I appreciate you coming back! Yes, please keep us up to date 🥰
Thank you for creating this video. I just starting using ozempic. This is week 2 and seeing how easy it is to inject myself is helpful. So far, I haven't had a lot of side effects, which is great.
Are u eating they same is appetite gone ?
That’s great to hear - can you give us an update?
@@Alba4 My appetite is lower. I get full much quicker. So far, I've lost about 16 pounds.
@@NursingBizness I am doing well. I am losing about 2 pounds a week, typically. I did have a few side-effects, but only after start the 0.5 dose began. My side effects were feelings of nauseaum and twice I vomitted. The vomitting happened the following day after an injection, but has since stopped.
@@stephaniemodkins4624 That’s awesome to hear!
Thank you so much! This tutorial was so easy to follow. I was nervous about how to do this. Such a huge help!
Glad it helped! 😃
Best video demo out of the many I have seen. No one else said that the dosage check should be done only once when the pen is new/unused--a question I've had for a long time. Thanks! The med is expensive and I worried about wasting any amount.
I have watched three videos so far and this is the absolute BEST video! Simple, clear instructions and directly to the point.
Thank you! I have been procrastinating taking my first dose for 2 weeks now because I have been so apprehensive. I have no more fears because of your fantastic explanation and demonstration.
Did you take it now ? How was it ? I just got it today and I’m kinda afraid and also procrastinating 😅. I think I’m going to start on Monday ☺️
@@selin_ma NO! Start it today…trust me, you will need the weekend to recover. For about 2-3 days I feel like I am constantly seasick 🤢. Thank God for Zofran! They say that will diminish in time but I definitely would not start on a Monday…those days already stink enough haha 😂
I'm procrastinating my first injection too..but I'm going to do it 💪🏻
@@missyallen4610 I’m taking it tomorrow the sixth time. I’m doing pretty well. Some times I fell nauseous and I have no appetite most of the time. Hope u also have a good start with it! Good luck!
@@NCJoMamaSC does it matter when you take it? Can you eat before you take it? Sorry first timer here 😅
I followed your tutorial real time step by step including the injection countdown. Very helpful - thank you !
Excellent! I wish you the best!
Thank you so much. This was my first time using Ozempic and I was worried about doing it right. Your tutorial was so easy to follow. Thank you for your help!
Thanks for the video! Gave myself my first injection today after watching your video and had no problems. Didn't hurt at all and turned out to be easier than I thought!
My husband just started and this video is the best of how to use. Thanks for all you do.
Thank you so much for this video, it’s so helpful!
I love that it’s to the point and visually & aurally tells the steps so I can follow along. I just took my first dose tonight and was terrified of 1) doing it wrong and wasting doses, 2) possible pain (I hate needles lol), and 3) possible side effects to come. You’ve helped me overcome 2 of the 3 now, so here’s hoping I manage the side effects well and that all my issues with blood sugar, cholesterol, weight, etc etc come under control and allow me to live my life in some ease again. Thank you! ❤
Sending all the positive vibes your way 🥰
@@NursingBizness thank you so much!
So far so good 😊
I would love to hear how things are going for you after being on the ozempic for a while now?
Thank you for the easy explanation! Today is my first dose and this makes it so much easier to understand.
Today will be my first time. I'm scared to do it wrong. This is my 3rd time watching this video
@@missyallen4610 I promise you that it is the most pain free thing you will ever do. The needle is so tiny and you don’t feel it go in. Just make sure you hold the button down until it gets back to zero then count to 6. Really easy! I promise. I’m on week 5 today and it’s so easy!
I just did my 1st shot and I have you to thank!! You made it easy to understand and I know I didn't mess it up. Thank you once again!!
You are very welcome! 👍🏼⭐️
Quick question… do you use the pen once? Does one pay for different pens? And then you get different syringes and vials? I got a doctor who is selling it for £250 per pen and I’m just trying to figure out if it’s once per week and have to use it for a couple of month and the pens as single use then that’s expensive
@@momihi5watch the video. The pen has multiple uses. The video gives you full details on using the pen.
@NursingBizness so glad I watched the video. I was able to help a lady at a pharmacy in Las Vegas. I work at a PBM and got a call from a lady who didn't take off the inner cap. I referred her to your video after I explained where she could find the video.
My Ozempic sat in the refrigerator for a month because I'm afraid of needles as well but after watching your video, I can finally conjure up the courage to inject myself. Thank you for the video no pain no gain.
Debra, I have faith that you are going to do great! 😊
I can't thank you enough for this demo. You're awesome ❤
Started Ozempic in October. Already lost 14 pounds because I'm not hungry all the time anymore!
Simple and informative video. Very easy to follow instructions. Thank you.
March 13, 2023
Good news and bad news:
Lost another 10 pounds.
Insurance won't cover my Ozempic anymore.
Gonna use my last dose this week, then I'm starting Victoza next week. Insurance will cover Victoza to a degree...
Rats! Keep us up to date with Victoza!
@@NursingBizness I'm still losing weight with it, and I'm not nearly as hungry as I used to be!
@@Gyarren That is great to hear!
Took my first dose tonight! You made it so easy! Thank you!,❤️
That’s awesome! I’m glad to hear the video helped 😀
Took my first shot today. Completely painless and easy. This video was def helpful in setting the pen up with simple instructions. Thank you!
I had my first shot ever today. I weigh 165. Lbs. Want to go down to 130. We'll see how it goes 😊
may I ask if there are any progress? :/ I'm about to do my first injecting now@@AHJ135
I took my first dose today also. I’m 220 hoping to get down to 130.
I can update in more detail now that it's been almost 3 months.
I started Sep. 12th and weighed exactly 169. Lbs
I immediately started seeing results losing about 4.5 pounds weekly. Taking the lowest dose I never felt any nausea or any symptom. It was easier to fast 16 - 18 hours and eat only the recommended portions or even less because I wasn't hungry at all. Today is Dec. 10th and I am 136. Lbs. Still using up the last bit of my Ozempic pen. I calculate another 3 shots so 3 more weeks. I feel great, fit into my old size 7 clothes comfortably. I had a full suitcase in storage of clothes that were too small 😅 Nos they fit. Once in a while I miss my noodles so I only consume Konjac noodles. And when I want a sweet, I eat 3 dates or prunes. I also take vitamin D and K after I snack on 8 cashews. I'm scared to feel excessive hunger once my Ozempic is finished but hope that because my stomach has shrunk a lot I'll be able to keep my healthy lifestyle. Water and coffee have also helped a lot to curb any appetite or cravings. Hope this helps somewhat.
Forgot to also mention that originally I wanted to go down to 130 but 135 lbs is better for my height of 5.2 The last 5 lbs are a pain in the butt! I lost most of the weight in 2 months. The last 5 are taking a whole month! You have to stick to your diet and walk or swim the last bit is stubborn
Thank you much for this content. I am a registered nurse and was still Leary about administering my 1st dose. I do appreciate you and thank you and I am subscribed now
Thanks Janice! ❤️
I just started this today, my PCP demonstrate in the office for me, but i just now started using it and your video was very easy to understand . Thank you
Glad it was helpful! 😃
I really like your video! I've come to count on it. I watch it even when I don't have to prime my pen just to make sure I get it right. The one time I didn't I broke the crank on my pen somehow. So thank you for sharing.
This makes me so happy! ☺️
Super clear and simple instructions. Thank you! I just started tonight and nobody showed me how, although I had to administer other insulin injections to people I was looking after.
Today was my first day with ozempic. I am a diabetic. Also overweight I was afraid to do it because I didn’t want to mess it up. Medication is expensive but thank you so much for your video. It was simple informative. It was so great of you to share that with us scaredy cats lol.
You are going to do great! 🤗
She is AMAIZING I do this every week with her with ease and confidence !!!
So sweet, thank you! ☺️
I was just prescribed Ozempic on yesterday and took my first dose last night. I struggled with giving myself the shot and found it Video. Thank you for such clear instructions!
Love that you found me! 😁
Thank you for this! I wasn’t sure if the amount of liquid in the clear part should have decreased or not but I noticed there was no difference in your example. I think I did it right!
I’m sure you did great!
Just took my first injection, thank you for your clear and quick instructions!
I hope you have great success!
@@NursingBizness Thank you! Just came to watch for my 2nd injection to make sure I was doing it right. :)
Just took my first dosage, thank you for this very helpful tutorial.
Thank you so much for this video. I’m on week four, but each time I always come back and do it with you! ☺️
Hello… I’m starting Ozempic this morning. Can you tell me about your progress? Can you feel a difference?
@@Ohgrowup1 sorry I’m so late to respond to this. I hate to say I have made absolutely no progress at all on ozempic. I’ve been on 1mg for at least a couple months now and nothing! No side effects at all :(
@@XxChantelley perhaps try the Semuglutide (aka WEGOVY) maybe that brand will work better for you ☺️❣️🤩
I was nervous about injecting myself. Your video really gave me the confidence to do it. I have just injected myself. What a relief ! Thank you.
I read the directions in the box, but it said my doctor should show me how to inject. I called the doctor, whoever answered the phone said "just watch RUclips".
Thank you for your informative video.
It was painless!
My pharmacist tried really hard to explain this to me, but I was so confused. Thank you for the video! I'm terrified of the side effects and to do the shot but I think I can do it now. ❤
Ok. I did the whole thing, step by step, including the counting, with you. Thank you
You are going to do great! One step at a time!
it was suggested to me, that you should take the pen out of the fridge for 10 minutes let it get closer to room temp, and the test flow, point the needle down, to let the drop of ozempic fall OFF the needle, rather than coat the outside of the needle, for people with possible reactions to their skin
Great advice! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thank you for such a simple and easy tutorial for my hubby!!! 😊 This helped me give his first dose easy peasy lemon 🍋 squeezie!!! 🎊 🎉❤
Great video. The pharmacist explained how to do the injection; however, this video was much more detailed. Thanks!
Omg thank you so much for sharing this video I have been waisting my shots by completing the process everytime I put on a new needle I was wasting the fluid! Now I know the process is for every new pen not needle! Again thank you so much!
