Doctor warns against using Ozempic for weight loss | CUOMO 

I’m a Type 2 diabetic for whom this was prescribed. My weight was not an issue. I stopped using it because I was experiencing all the symptoms of pancreatitis. Now I’m concerned that it may have done permanent damage to my pancreas.

I take it for type 2 diabetes, i only have had mild nausea with it throughout the week. I have been on it since March 2022. My blood sugars lowered and i lost 20 pounds as well. It appreciate being able to take this medicine and hope it is available for the right people. Thank you Chris , it is great to watch you here.🤗🇨🇦

He’s 100% right. Diet and exercise is MUCH healthier.

All the drugs isn't going fix obesity if you don't fix the behavior.

I have thyroid cancer and an Endo suggested this drug who also denies I'm hypothyroid. BTW I never eat more than 4 carbs per meal and track blood sugar like an engineer. A functional MD identified I'm hypo though... conventional medicine is deadly... And BTW Chris, speaking of lawsuits, there should be the largest class action suit in history against the American Diabetes Association and all their contracted educators promoting high carb diets. Did you know the ADA recommendations for carbs to a person with diabetes is the same as the FDA recommends to a person w/ out diabetes? The executives at the ADA should be in prison. And our health officials act like they care about public health all the sudden? CV had nothing over the millions of preventable diabetic deaths yearly.

FUN FACT: People are nuts

Dr H we love you I can’t even think how bad this is gonna be long term

I distrust any prescription drug that has it's on commercial jingle.

Ozempic dangers I'm laying here in bed because I took Ozempic (Semaglutide) for 3 months and almost died. This drug caused me constant bloating which made me feel full, but sick when I did force myself to eat. By the 3rd month the damage was done. My liver developed advanced cirrhosis which led to bleeding in my stomach and upper GI tract. I lost so much blood that my hemoglobin went down to 9 and I needed 2 units of blood at the ER. I had then scheduled a upper GI Endoscopy for 3 weeks later. But on the second week just before my appointment my hemoglobin went down to 5.1 and I became delirious and unconscious. My friends hadn't heard from me and broke into my house and quickly called me an ambulance. I was rushed to a nearby ER for 2 pints of blood they squeezed into me to stabilize me and then taken by helicopter to a major hospital where they had to squeeze 2 more pints of blood into me. They found fluids in my chest (dead blood cells) that has to be drained and performed the Upper GI Endoscopy where they had to band the bleeders. I had received 3 more units of blood just to bring me back up to a hemoglobin of 9. I was discharged a week later. My organs are damaged now and I have been seeing doctors 3 or more times a week. I may need a liver transplant now from biliary cirrhosis. I did have a prior fatty liver, but I hadn't had drink in over 8 years. There is a October 2022 published report from Indiana University School of Medicine of someone else my age (male 50's) that required a liver and kidney transplant after using Semaglutide for 6 months. The report found no other explanation for his diagnosis. My hemoglobin counts are slowly improving, but I am unable to leave my bed for more than a few minutes due to all the complications caused my body.

Just go Keto.

The warning is good, but I’m worried that the warning will be too little too late.

Ozempic made me so sick I had to stop taking it after two months. Daily SEVERE nausea, stomach pain, it just wasn't worth it.

my husband couldnt get his ozempic for his diabetes.

My sis put weight back on more than ever! after stop the Ozempic!!!! Her appetite came back ten times more!!

Jardiance will do the same thing.....but this med is also used for type 2 diabetes along with stopping heart failure.

I love to feel hungry, but unfortunately because of low metabolism I rarely reach that point. To me it is absolutely necessary to only have healthy bio organic whole food and I do that, so I maintain my ideal BMI. I agree with Doctor Hyman that fat people will remain that way, until they change their relationship towards food. Its not easy, I have been on a diet all my life, I have less or equal to 700 calories a day and its really science to get all the vitamins protein carbs (limited) and fat that I need to keep that going, its not a diet its how I live. I feel fine. No way am I going to go and take any medicines. They are always poison, and you should all stay away from those. I just dread the years to come where people who have been on this medicine to complain about stomach disorders and side effects PLUS even more weight gain! Today I saw in the news the CPO of NOVO in Denmark where I live stand up and brag about a net profit gain of 14 billion more than expected this half year results, just because of this hoax! The Shame. Rescue me! I want not to be danish anymore!

It's free to put the fork down.

Doctor assumes prices will stay high forever, and you need to take the drug forever. Both assumptions sketchy.

I wholeheartedly agree.👍🏾

Imagine how much we can save on fast food and medical expenses caused by obesity? The argument that it's too expensive to give to everyone makes no sense. And the price will come down when it's not patented anymore.

Thank you❤ this drug is the new darling cash cow of a drug industry that is only in it for one thing…..and it’s not your long term health. RUN from this drug, as this doc says “it’s a losing game”.

Wrong- The Dr. just said it's $7800 a month. That's a whopping $94k a year. He just said he's concerned everyone's going to go out and buy it. How ? 🤔 By saying that you've lost all credibility.

Cuomo should talk about the VAX . He should get another booster.

I started using it because I was diagnosed with diabetes last summer. I couldn’t take Metformin. My Dr prescribed Ozempic. I was already watching what I ate. I cut carbs and sugars out, even during the holidays! 😮 I have lost 25 pounds. If by losing weight and using Ozempic will keep my A1C down, I would like to stop using Ozempic. My whole family is/was diabetic so I wasn’t too surprised when I heard that I had it. I’m working on getting that number down and keeping it down so I can mark that off my list. ❤

I would never take that drug I’m not a diabetic

I have type 2 I would never take this

Chris needs to do an interview with an Obesity medicine specialist that can eloquently explain how obesity isnt a result of eating more and exercising less AND explain how this isnt the simple fix for most of those who are obese. They NEED additional support, things in addition to lifestyle improvements as their own pathology has been altered and doesnt respond anymore to the simple fixes. Obesity is a chronic disese that needs to be treated as such.

I DONT WANT TO DO IN THE EASY WAY BECAUSE, I DO MY RESEARCH ABOUT EVERYTHING AND SEE MANY PEOPLE LOSING THEIR HEALTH THROUGH PHARMA DRUGS AND PLASTIC SURGERY SO LETS NOT GENERALIZE...EXCELENTE SHORT DOCUMENTARY, LETS TALK REALITY FOR CHANGE...HAPPY END OF AUGUST 2023...EAT LESS EAT HEALTHY COOK MORE AT HOME GO FOR WALKS DO EXERCISES BE HAPPY!!!

I feel like this guy just rolled out a bunch of stigma and could benefit from more informed medical opinion here on obesity. Also you're already paying for the cost of morbid obesity and health related impacts

Why is this drug so expensive in the first place? It has no benefit to me. I am not overweight and have been type 1 diabetic since 1971. What pisses me off is over priced pharmaceuticals and medical school graduates like this guy who are incapable of addressing the problems in our healthcare system.

Its a normal reaction to over population for human being to live with lesser food, and I mean a lot less. Years back a strict diet counted 1200 calories a day, today this is the max intake for many, and a strict diet would be 1200-500 calories a day = 700 my friends.

Why is the drug so expensive??????

Remember when they used to have good news on tv like we are building a dam and hiring 3500 equipment operators to get it done

My husband have type two diabetes for more than 10 years and he use metformin 🙏

Who I. Their right mi d would take it if your not a diabetic it could hsve very bad affects

That Dr. Has a Million Dollar Smile!

Lose weight or your kidneys lol Listen I'm type 1 diabetic as soon as u stop taking this u will gain the weight back and more

This man talks like US healthcare is covering the medication for people. 😂🤣

If the media is telling you not to do something, it's usually a good cause TO do something. Of course, get a doctor's advice, but these are the same people who told you quad-vaxxed people were "safe". I'm just saying.

Good grief. Hearing about how you can buy the ingredients yourself to mix up to inject conjures up disturbing digressions. Need I say more? Here's one for you, Chris - ask your doctor friend to enlighten you about metabolic syndrome, a constellation of issues that tend to run together causing increased risk for heart disease, diabetes and stroke. Includes high blood pressure, high blood sugar, increased abnormal cholesterol levels, and increased body fat around the waist. Before the 80s was unheard of. We need some lifestyle changes alright.

So its about the money? Not the evils of GLP. And this from one of the biggest jerks in communications.

Why am I the only one taking ozempic for type 2 diabetes and haven't lost a pound? I'm destined to be fluffy the rest of my life!!!🥴😫

Great video!

why is so expensive? they produce ozempic from gold?

Peanuts make me swell up. Outlaw peanuts!

Or like we're building 50 powerplants in the next five years and hiring 20,000 knuckleheads

Eating real food. Ok. Easier said than some. It’s expensive to eat real food.

POISON.

This is a hormonal issue Dr Hyman!

That doctor looks 97

👍

Great watching naturally skinny people talk about it. Metabolic syndrome is real and ozempic treats it. This doctor is against ozempic because it hurts his bottom line business.

rather take the easy way. reading a book and listening to a podcast takes too much work.

This wife is 30 yrs younger..

Humans are so selfish that it's an Achilles heel to the survivability of the species.

This guy has his diet that he promotes for profit(one that many dietitions warn against.) Of course, he wouldn't like anything else.

It works, the side effects are horrible. It gave me nasty gall stones, in which I had to remove my gall bladder. Once you stop the medication, you start putting the, weight back on. Your appetite comes back ten fold. The best way, is respect your body, exercise, take care of your mind and body, eat well and sleep. Obesity is choice. All the best success everyone ❤

Why are none of the drug’s benefits mentioned? Both of you are not fully informed on the GIP and GLP-1 agonists. This guy talks about pancreatitis and thyroid cancer but none have manifested in humans. Only in rats. The cardiovascular benefits are great. If I had taken this drug at 35, I wouldn’t have had a heart attack at age 45. You both really need to do your homework.

Eat less exercise more .. get off your fat arse .. go for a walk .. clean your house ..swap processed foods for natural foods .. repeat every day ❤

Q: Are there any circumstances where insurance will pay for the shots? (i.e. if you have Type 2 Diabetes) Thanks
