As someone who is diabetic, and took Ozempic, yea I lost weight. However I was visit-the-hospital sick for 5 weeks. Yes my A1C went down, but at the cost of not being able to eat, drink, or sleep for weeks on end. I will never ever take that medicine again.
My dad really benefitted from using it, he has lost a quarter of his bodyweight so far and still has a bit to go to get to a healthy weight. Here in the UK diabetics are struggling to get it from the NHS because people are buying it privately for weight loss and taking up all the stock.
Oh it’s the same here in the US. I had to spend weeks fighting with insurance that I actually was diabetic and needed it. It’s a “fashionable” drug so it was hard for the people who actually need it to get it.
If I start having trouble finding metamucil I'ma be pissed. I have ass problems and I need it!
Ozempic hospitalized my husband. It is not as safe as it's made out to be.
