Ozempic Full Review - Tutorial, Side Effects 

Been on it for 2 years now. A1C down to 5.2 from 14.8 . Weight is down from 364 to 220lbs. This stuff saved my life. My Endocrinologist recommended it and I am so thankful he did.

I’ve been on Ozempic for about 6 months. I’m 45 years old and have been a paraplegic for 12 years. I blew up to size 56 pants post injury. Since ozempic I’ve dropped down to a 44. 3 sizes more to go to get back down to my preinjury size!! This stuff has brought me back to life!!! I’ve wheeling 5 miles a day, and back to rolling off road.

I am 63 years old and have been on Ozempic for 6 months and it has changed my life! I have lost 56 lbs and my eating habits have changed considerably. I have cut out all sweet things ( sugar, chocolate etc,) and check all foods for sugar content before I eat. The gym bores me, so I walk everyday - to the shops or the shopping centre and use the stairs instead of lifts ( elevators) . I have an exercise bicycle in my room and watch films when I'm on it. I was amazed at the weight loss ( I've had to change my clothes size from 3XL to L ) and feel much better, both physically and mentally. I did suffer some side effects ( flatulence / nausea ) initially, but they only occur if I succumb to the odd 'treat' . I would have no hesitation in recommending OZEMPIC in combatting Diabetes Type 2.

Started me out on 2 MG. The side effects were bad, mainly severe nausea. Just took my 6th shot today, and am from 241 lbs to 197 lbs. I was pre-diabetic, too. Key word, was. Life saver!🎉

I am not diabetic but on Ozempic for weight loss and it’s an absolute game-changer. I’ve managed to lose 25 pounds so far, nearly 10% of my body weight. This has resulted in increasing my stamina and tolerance for more exercise, something I really struggled with before. Just an amazing medication.

I just started taking it this week I feel fuller faster a lil nauseous but hopeful ☺️ ...lords willing it works for me ...

I've been on Ozempic 5 weeks, strictly for weightloss. I originally wanted Saxenda, and my doctor recommended this instead. I do have a history of Gestational diabetes and family history of type 2. I've lost 15lbs and no unwanted side affects! So happy!

I am 79 and my A1C suddenly hit 7.9 and I was put on this medication. This is BY FAR the very best video I have seen to educate yourself on using a prescription product to reduce your A!C. Information and production values are perfect!

I was given Ozempic to help reduce my a1c back in October. I weighed 223 when started now I weigh 172. It's amazing.

I am six month into ozempic, I built up slowly and six months in I am down 100lbs and my sugars are way down to the point I am no longer considered diabetic. At the age of 37 I learnt what it meant to be full after a small meal, and It allowed me to switch to a healthy eating pattern very easily, something I have never achieved with all the many diets I have tried. I did go through all the tummy issues and still need to take something to free up my movements. I would recommend Ozempic to anyone who is able.

Its my first week on Ozempic. No side effects yet. I feel great. The one thing ive noticed is that i am less hungry and feel full a lot longer...if my last meal of the day is at 6-7 pm i dont feel hungry until the next day at about 10-11 am. prior to ozempic i was feeling hungry all the time.

I was just prescribed ozempic and your video was helpful in reducing my anxiety about taking it. Thank you

I've been on it for almost 3 months for weight loss. I've dropped almost 15lbs. I'm not hungry anymore, no cravings, I eat small amounts. I'm excited to see how far I can go. I've had gastric bypass in 1999 and after tremendous weight loss I regained most of it since then. Hunger would not stop, cravings became binges. Ozempic is working so far. The semaglutide for weight loss is not covered by my insurance, but Ozempic is because it's designed for diabetes. I'm feeling better, my ruined joints aren't as bad. Soon I should be able to start taking walks. 🎉

I just took my first dose of Ozempic and finding this video has allayed a lot of my concerns and answered my questions. After finding out how high my A1C had gotten, I kind of zoned out what the doctor was saying. My pharmacist was great, but I thought of questions after I left the pharmacy. Thank you. I think your channel is going to be my go to as I navigate this next journey in Type 2 Diabetes.

Started on Ozempic 7 Month's ago. As of today, 43# down. I Love this stuff. I have changed the way I eat. It's a lifestyle change. No sugar, little to no carbs, and lots of water! Still need to lose 50#'s more. Can't tell you how much better I feel! I can walk much better! No wheezing, my whole body just feels so much lighter! I'm 68 years old, beginning weight WAS 257..TODAY 214. YAHOO!!

I am Type 2 with Fistulizing Crohn's Disease. Ozempic has definitely lowered my A1C. But a fringe benefit is that has also helped tremendously with the diarrhea associated with Crohn's. Apparently slowing the GI transit time induced by the Ozempic helps the Crohn's. Nice benefit for me.

Been on Ozempic for a few months.i just started 1mg injections. Barely any side affects..down 22.4 lbs. This is a miracle drug for me. Thanks for this video. Put me more at ease :) barely any hunger and binge eating disorder under control!!

Thank you for showing this tutorial. It was very informative. ❤I appreciate those who do tutorials because it takes the guessing and fear out of the situation.

In 6 months I’ve lost 40 pounds, lowered my a1c to 6.2 and I’m off metformin! My mom has seen the lowest blood sugars in years since starting Ozempic. Also, I found dosing at bedtime I seem to have no nausea with it.

Been on Ozempic for a couple of years now. I am now 66 years old and was diagnosed with diabetes just over 2 years ago. My A-1 C was 11.7 it is now 5.8. After being on it for less than a year I had to get new glasses because my eyes had improved so much. The 1 side effect I do have is nausea pretty much every day.

Excellent information. I started on Ozempic in early September 2020. I am amazed how physically good I feel. My A1C is between 6 and 7 and I have already lost 18 pounds. I consider this a miracle drug for me. Oh how I wish I could have been on Ozempic much sooner in life. Thankyou so much for explaining this drug to me. My diabetes is well on track! And I feel like a whole new person!

I've been on Ozempic for 12 weeks and have lost 22lbs. My A1C went from 11.2 to 6.4 in 8 weeks. I've been taking .25mg the entire time because my glucose levels have been so good. So far so good!

I just took my fifth dose, which I graduated to and will be moving up to 1mg in a month. The first two doses I experienced very mild abdominal aches, but those disappeared. So far, I've lost 10 lbs. I'm so excited to see what the higher dosage does. My A1C is 5.7 and my doctor prescribed Ozempic for weight loss to match my current health status. I highly recommend if you have the insurance to cover it.

Hi! Clunical Pharmacist here and also a patient who uses Ozempic myself. Please be aware that the pen must be primed each time a patient opens a new box, and needles must be discarded in a sharps/hazard container. That aside, after 3 years of struggling with Diabetes, this is the first medication that worked for me. I recommend it highly for those who are candidates and can tolerate it!

worked wonders with me. I've lost over 45 lbs, A1c down to 6.2 from over 9.0 not hungry anymore, and when I am, it only last for no more than 20 minutes. Avoiding low blood sugar is related to NOT eating due to NOT being hungry. the high cost of my co-payment kept me from getting it from my Medicare PCP but the VA finally gave it to me due to my very bad heart. SO glad I'm on it now. Now, I sometimes see better without my glasses on.

I use Ozempic and love it. It has improved my A1C from 7.2 down to 6.2. The worse side effects are terrible gas, big huge burps, bloating. But after a couple months of using it, it has toned down quite a bit.

Great video...only thing you may wish to mention is forwarding the Ozempic dial to make sure the "goods" are flowing through the needle before administering.....then turn back pen, and reset to the desired shot strength...thanks again for the great video!

I started Ozempic after being diagnosed. I was overweight and had a high A1C. I've lost 50 pounds and look great. My A1C is around 6 now. I changed my diet and like you mentioned the nausea and vomiting can be troublesome. But it's been worth it. I've almost reached the weigh loss set by my nurse practitioner. Yay!

It's been 3 months since I started Ozempic. I feel torn because I have lost 18 lbs. but I don't feel great. I feel full most of the time. This part is great! I did feel hungry even after eating before Ozempic. Now I eat much less and my blood sugar is much better. I get my A1C checked next week. I am on the 1mg dose.

I’ve been taking this for 4 months and I’ve lost 42 pounds . For me it really just makes my appetite go away completely and in return helps me keep better eating habits.

I have been taking this for 4 months lost almost 50 pounds A1c went from 9.7 to 5.2. It does make me feel sick to my stomach and I burp a lot but it has been an awesome medication.

I’ve been on ozempic for now almost three months and I am happy to say I’ve lost 17lbs with in two months which was shocking to me dealing with thyroid issues since I was born loosing weight was always an issue so knowing this medication is working is such an amazing thing I’ve used trulicity as well so honestly ozempic is really showing me results and I’m happy my endocrinologist recommended it 🥺😌

Ozempic has made a WORLD of difference for my type 2 management. I'm actually losing weight, and my yo-yoing blood sugar has finally leveled out!

I had to have my insulin adjusted 5 weeks after I started. I was having several very low blood sugars 2 to 3 times a day. My blood pressure was so much lower than I’ve ever seen. This also made me very dizzy.I had to have my heart meds adjusted too. I’m having to have .25 /week for 2 months instead of 1 month. The comments here have been so helpful and enlightening. Thanks for the tip on the available coupons.

I am going start ozempic for first time today. I accidentally tune to your video and I am so impressed with positive feedback of ozempic. I was little hesitant, now I am encouraged how to use ozempic. Thank u for your excellent communication explaining how successful ozempic is with individuals like myself with type 2 diabetes. Yes I subscribe.

I’ve been on ozempic for 2 months and the worst side effects is the nausea but that makes me eat less and have lost weight. So it’s a win in my opinion

I am not diabetic, but my doctor started me on ozempic as a weight loss medication. I have tried so many things to lose weight. Despite active efforts to lose weight I have slowly gained weight over the last several years. I was referred to the bariatric clinic due to my BMI (such an outdated measure, but still). I am on the lowest dose of .25mg and have been for about 4-5 months. I have successfully lost 20 lbs doing the exact same things that I have been doing. I have never successfully lost more than about 5 lbs on any diet or exercise plan in the past. There were some side effects at the beginning (I also have gastroparesis, so that doesn't help), but they have subsided to nothing more the my normal level of digestive issues. I am thankful that my insurance covers this medication with a manageable copay.

Thank you! Your video was extremely helpful. I took my first dose of Ozempic today. Was so easy after watching your video, everything went perfect with the application. I have had Type 2 Diabetes for several years and the doctor just added the Ozempic to what I am already taking.

I bought Ozempic from Shopper’s Drug Mart in Canada two weeks ago for $284 for a months supply. The price has come down but it still is out of reach for those without private insurance. Thankfully, my company insurance covers the full amount. I noticed that the only time I had gastrointestinal issues (really bad diarrhea) was last night when I ate an unhealthy snack. I’ve been on keto and one meal a day (OMAD) for the last few months so my body wasn’t use to eating crap and I have been losing weight before I started Ozempic. Funny thing is I didn’t even enjoy that snack. Will continue my keto diet with OMAD and exercise while taking Ozempic to lower my blood sugar. Also, I take Ozempic every Friday after work when I am at home to avoid any side effects at work (who wants to get diarrhea at work?). Plus I’ll have Saturday and Sunday to recover.

I love the way you explain everything, your videos are great. I am new to Ozempic so this helped so much, thank you

I was just diagnosed and have felt really overwhelmed. So thank you for your videos...

I love Ozempic! Went from A1C of 7.4 to 5.5. Lost 17 lbs so far!!!

I've been on Ozempic now for about 6 weeks and it has dropped my blood sugar so that I am in normal range all the time. I am so happy after having such a hard time regulating my blood sugar. I have noticed a noticeable decrease in my appetite but that is ok since I am eating enough. Definitely pleased so far., and I've also lost a few pounds.

Taking this for weight loss. I’ve been sick as a dog for weeks! Lost 10 pounds, but it’s been rough.

Before Ozempic my A1C was 11 but now is 5.5. I also lost 45 pounds in 9 months. My doctor and I are very pleased with the results.

I have been on Ozempic for 7 weeks and I have decreased my use of Lantus from 80 units to 30 units and Apidra from 10 units per meal to 3 units. Really no side effects to complain about.

Thank you ... thank you, thank you for this! I just got prescribed this & was so worried & unsure if I should even use this ... but , now getting clarity & explanation from your video I feel good about my decision.

PS. When taking the full dose ,make sure you serve yourself smaller portions (believe me,you'll be satisfied !) Because I was used to serving myself a certain amount ,it gave me nausea. Once I got the point that I no longer needed that much food ,nausea went away. You'll adjust.... You won't be hungry and will lose weight.

Thanks so much for this video. i just started on my first full dose today. I experienced some nausea but not bad the first 2 weeks but so far all is going great. I can’t believe how it has controlled my hunger! i’m never hungry! I’m 63 this month and been Type2 for about 11 years. i’ve been on Tresiba and Farxiga and Kombliglize for years got my A1C to low 7- now trying Ozempic with xigduo to lose weight etc. I can’t thank you enough for this information. You are a blessing!

Have just started taking this drug for my Diabetes, I found the video helpful on how to use it. I also appreciated that you cut through a lot of the hype and discussed the side effects as you saw them based on your practice. Really appreciated the advice, demonstrations, and frank discussion. Thankfully here in Australia we can get it for just $30 per month thanks to our government health subsidies. However, it has been hard to get for a few months.

I get my healthcare at one of the world's most famous hospitals. The Attending Physician at the Endocrinology Clinic of that hospital described Ozempic to me as being "a miracle drug" (her exact words). I like it a lot...it's helped me a lot and I've had no problems at all with it...no side effects. I wish it wasn't so expensive though.

Your presentation was worthwhile, Thank you. Clear and concise. The literature, my endo, the diabetes educator all mentioned diarrhea and vomiting. HOWEVER no one talked about the severity of diarrhea and vomiting or how to manage food intake to decrease the risk of these horrible episodes. I have found it is important to pay attention when I start feeling full. Sometimes that can be after three bites. At that point stop eating until the full feeling passes & eat a little more or stop eating until later. There have been times my blood sugar was low, in the 60's, and I felt if I ate I would vomit. I was able to take 4-6 glucose tablets to bring the glucose level up. Have also found Healthy Choice meals are just about the right quantity of food for me for one meal. I can't quite finish the meal, so leave it and finish about an hour later. I have lost 35 pounds in 6 weeks and plan to continue with Ozempic hoping things get easier,

I am just starting Ozempec. This video was SO HELPFUL as I was confused on how to use it! I wasn't instructed on how to dial up the dosage. Wish me luck! ...and Thank you very much🤗

I was on this medication for 2 years and it did work. I developed pancreatitis and no longer can take it. Just wanted to let people know to keep watch of the symptoms of pancreatitis and blood work.

I started taking Ozempic two months ago. First month on a .25 I had no side effects and no noticeable effect on my glucose or appetite. The second month on 0.5 was great. Then I moved up to the 1 milligram and it was awful. It wasn’t so much nausea, I had terrible cramps and diarrhea and I simply could not eat at all, I had no appetite, I would force myself to have one slice of toast a day and I was feeling so weak I could hardly function. I was told by a diabetes nurse that rather than go back to 0.5, I should take 1 mg pen but not turn the cap all the way to the full dose, but to count the clicks, there are 75 clicks from 0 to 1 mg, and to count about 50 clicks and see how that goes. That’s about 2/3 of a dose. If that works out OK, to increase my dose each week by five clicks until I reach the full amount. It’s been working brilliantly, I have already lost 5 kg in the last month and my glucose levels are at normal level. And I have no nausea or other stomach issues. I can’t wait to see what my HA1c is at my next blood test.

Your tutorial is the best! I had massive angst about giving myself a needle, but you talked me through the whole thing, and after the injection I thought, "Is that all there is?" Thank you so much!

I watched this video as I administered my very first dose of Ozempic. Thank you for explaining the little dashes!! I was so lost 😳😂 I was on Mounjaro previously and suffered debilitating back pain, that stopped after I stopped taking it, then started again when I resumed. I told my Dr I had no intention of taking Mounjaro again. So she suggested Ozempic. I managed my diabetes with diet, prior to taking any injections, to get my A1C down from 14 to 9.6. Mounjaro and my diet got me from 9.6 to 5.8. Today, with no injections, my daily spikes are what concern me. I’m hoping Ozempic will be the answer to keep those from happening. Best of luck to you all!! 🫶🏽

Slow gastric emptying is something folks need to consider. Are there any nutrient deficiencies caused by the medication? Does it lower acid secretion (raise pH) which will lead to many issues downstream? Many questions for sure.

This was wonderful. Thank you much for making this video. I am about to start my third week tomorrow. The nausea has been up and down but that's about it. I am prediabetic and using this for weight loss. I'm looking forward to the future!

My primacy care just put me on this. I have not begun as of yet. My A1C is currently an 8. I was never this big but a motorcycle crash in 2013 had me out of work for a combined 1.5 years. I was a FedEx driver in good shape. I gained over 100lbs! Two years ago I was 346lbs with a 52" waist. Then became diabetic. I lost 70lbs and currently have a 44" waist. Doc still wants me on Ozempic. This video is greatly appreciated because I know nothing about the product or the side effects.

This is the best explanation Of this I have heard!!..simple..and very effective!!

Absolutely love this. I've been on Ozempic almost 4 weeks. I've lost 10 lbs. No more cravings. I eat healthier. And I am not hungry all the time.

Here I am 3 years later and am appreciative of your video. Thanks!

I’ve been on it for a year. Lost 2 stone and blood sugar down to normal. Occasionally feel nauseous but nothing too much. I feel my digestion works again. Very glad it’s on the NHS in UK. Feel very lucky that I’ve been prescribed it. I don’t get so hungry and eat less, and much better.

Best thing that has happened in my 25 years battling diabetes 2!

I just was put on it about 4 weeks ago. I love it. Changed my life.

I'm so glad I came across this very awsome explanation. It hit the nail on the head. My second injection was like the first one. Feel great the 1st day, nauseous the second day. Blood sugars still a little high in the am. Appetite sure had changed but I'm not sure I want to loose too much. Thanks a lot.

I've been using ozempic since June. First 3 months I had a lot of nausea and diarrhea and sulfur burps. The nausea doesn't occur as often but those awful sulfur burps continue. Taking pepto helps a lot. My a1c went from 11 to 6.1 by August. As of today 12/19/20 I've lost 39lbs. I get an AIC check on Monday. I had previously taken lantus which made me gain close to 50lbs. I was then switched to Tresiba and lost the weight. My insurance the drug formulary and stopped covering Tresiba and I started gaining the weight again. After a year they started covering Tresiba again but I was having problems taking the weight off until I started ozempic. I'm thankful for Ozempic!

This is a very complete video and easy to follow. Thank you for producing this. I am going to take Ozempic for the first time today. My A1C is 9.7. Metformin isn't working anymore, and I'm eager to improve my blood sugar.

I just started my weight loss journey I’m excited

I am 63 & have been on Ozempic for 2 months for weight loss for upcoming brain surgery & I am diabetic, my food intake hasn't changed much but the weight is falling off me, as of today at my dr's appointment I have officially lost 10kgs. I am very fortunate that it only costs me $6.70 per pen in Australia. I have had no side effects. The only issue really is I don't have any clothes that fit, I didn't realise how big everything I had looked on me until I saw a photo of me wearing my comfy leggings which were baggy & looked awful, I am personally blown away by how much weight has just dropped off & I also have Hashimoto's Disease, my thyroid doesn't work at all. I also don't crave chocolate anymore which I am very pleased about.

Thank you for this awesome video.. You totally rock!!! I just starting the medicine..first time and finding out a type 2 diabetes. This was the best video I've found ..actually the first and you nailed it..Thank you!!

I have been on Ozempic for two years and it is magic. I went from A1C of 8.6 to 5.4 and has maintained that level for 24 months. I had some side affects in the first 8 weeks but none since. It works for me.

Hi David, first, Excellent and highly informative video - Thank you! I am being evaluated for Ozempic tomorrow and have a couple questions regarding the side affects you mentioned: 1) If I did experience nausea or diarrhea, is it something that will pass after a while? (i.e., on and off, temporary type thing that I can just deal with?) Or does it go on constantly all day? 2) And if I do experience side effects the first few days, does that mean they will continue? i.e., I should stop it immediately if I feel a little nauseous? Thanks again!

Loved your video and very clear on how to use. Today is my 3rd dose.

My Ins approved. Just picked up today. Will make Sunday my injection day. I'm also taking diabetes med in a pill form. Segluromet 7.5/1,000 twice a day with Glimepiride 2 mg. My endocrinologist wanted me off the Glimepiride as it causes you to gain weight. My PCP put me on it. Well anyway, wish me luck. Ill check back in a couple weeks.

Thank you so much for a great video. I’m a PA working in liver disease and use Ozempic to treat my patients with NASH.

Love your thoroughness. Just started on Ozempic. Excited to see how it does. 3rd dose tomorrow. Early, but no side effects. Sending to spouse, as well.

On week 2...haven’t weighed myself yet, but intend to tomorrow. My appetite is a bit suppressed, can’t hold down as much food as I used to (which is GOOD), sweet cravings kinda stopped as well. Sometimes (maybe a couple of times a day) my stomach will feel queasy for a few min, I just pop a saltine in my mouth. Eating a lot of apples and not constipated like some ppl complained about. Energy is ok, still working out 3x a week. I get it in🇲🇽 and paid $162 or $172 for it. I’m pretty happy with it.

I have been on Ozempic since last April along with Forxiga. I have lost 60 pounds since January. The nausea was significant in the beginning but eventually went away after about 3 months. What I am still dealing with is diarrhea anywhere from 3 to 5 days per week. The sulphuric gas, bloat is daily. Sticking closer to a plant based diet has helped me the most. My sugars were much better in the first 6 months of use, but eating more meat lately they have gone back up somewhat. As far as ease of use, convince etc, I think its terrific. I have a relaxed work, home care, so I have been able to manage side effects and a very understanding roommate... Bottom line is 60 pounds down and that's great for a 53 year old lady. Its a tool to help with weight loss, not a miracle cure on its own, in my opinion! Update... Another year later I have kept the weight off. Nearly losing another 5 pounds. I feel the best the close I stick to plant based diet. Bloat has never left me, no has the terrible gas. Getting on a good magnesium supplement is the only thing that has helped the endless diarrhea. I am now down to just a day or two per week. My A1C is still above goal, last two were 8.2 and 9.4

Thank you I’m new with this and you made all my questions be answered and peaceful. God bless you , a new fan ❤️❤️❤️❤️😊😊😊

Been 4 weeks with Ozempic, my blood sugar never been this good for almost 2 years!! Went from 15mmol to 5.7mmol this morning!! Really helps with my cravings as I didnt really feel hungry all the time like I use too!

Excellent presentation, thorough and clear. It is obvious that you care. Thank you.

This will be my first time using this med. This was very informative and I think I will shock my doctor when I go in tomorrow for my lesson.

I’ve been on ozempic for 3 weeks. I’ve never felt better! No side affects and have lost almost 1 stone! Worth the money!

I’ve been on Ozempic since September 2020. This, combined with a low carb diet, has helped me lower my A1c to 5.8 and I have lost 46 lbs. I am nauseous and when I increased my dose to 1 mg, I vomited nearly every day. I have gone back to 0.5 in the hopes that would help with the vomiting. Still vomiting about twice a week which is better than every day but wondering if eventually that will taper off? I hope so because in spite of the nausea, I feel better than I have in a long time. Before this I was on a tight insulin regimen of Apidra and Lantus and was able to stop them within 2 weeks of starting Ozempic. When on insulin I could not lose weight at all, in spite of eating low carb and exercising daily. Honestly I feel like this is a miracle drug.

I'm 81 and a type 2 diabete I have been taking Actos for 31 years. I started Ozempic 6 months ago my account is down to 5.8. I have bad diarrhea on the average of 1 day a week but my blood sugar is in complete control. My weight loss has been 8 lbs but I was not over weight when I started Ozempic

I have been using Ozempic at the.05 dose for about 14 months.Along with doing so I also changed my eating habits.I changed my diet to my choices and not any given by a Doctor or Dietitian.I eat all of the Protein,Vegetables that are Low in Carbs,and Fresh Fruits such as Grapes, Blueberries, Strawberries, Cuties,& Peaches that I want.My A1c was 13.8 when I started being treated and it’s now 5.5 and it was 5.4 the visit before my last one.I have dropped from a size 46 pants to a size 36 pants and before now the last time I wore a size 36 I was in the 9th grade in 1974.I Rarely ever get hungry because I always have plenty of foods that I can eat all that I want of.All of my blood work and blood pressure are Excellent as well.I have had high blood pressure since I was in my early 20’s and I also have a fatty liver from Alcohol abuse as a teenager and into my late 20’s.I have very strong willpower and I have not Cheated on my eating plan even once and I don’t Reward myself with junk foods.I skip the carbs every day all day.I don’t do any exercise due to having severe Neuropathy in my feet,hands,and arms.The Ozempic helps with my hunger but I can control my diet.I have lost well over 100 lbs so far and these 36’s are getting looser every single day.I also have seen Zero side affects from the Ozempic.I will be coming off of the Insulin Pump in June since I only refill it every 6 to 7 days now.When I started on my change of life I was refilling the pump every day and a half to two days Max.I feel great and life is good.If I could get rid of the Neuropathy Pain it would be AWESOME.👍👏❤️

So far my issues with the side effects (7 weeks now) is I eat too much. It’s honestly been a problem for me since I was a kid. So now that I feel full quicker, psychologically I “HAVE” to finish the food on my plate because I don’t know when I’ll eat again. This has cause a lot of nausea and vomiting twice (once this week and once last week) and I haven’t vomited in 12 years. I’m still learning my lesson on eating less. BIG HEADS UP TO ANYONE TAKING THIS - listen to your body, not your mind on this. Helps with vomiting and nausea. Trust me!

I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes It took me three weeks to get the medication, do the back locks and it sat in my fridge for one week while I debated taking it because I was already getting my numbers down on my own after making a few minor adjustments to my diet and I was doing well but my doctor insisted that I take it because I wasn’t gonna be able to control a random spikes. Regrettably on July 1 I took my first .25 dose. The absolute worst mistake of my life within an hour. I ended up in the emergency room. The ER doctors were wonderful and they shared with me there discussed on the hype over this medication and I’m not even on it for weight loss, but strictly for diabetes and they’ve seen many people sick on this medication. I had a severe allergic reaction to it. I’m so angry that I went against my gut feeling and took it when I came home, I grabbed all the medication in my fridge and threw it in the trash. I sent a message to my doctor to let her know that I ended up in the ER and I was going to do this on my own without medication. I simply cannot imagine people taking this drug for weight loss. I understand that they are desperate to lose weight, but the long-term effects per the ER doctors are scary. I’m equally upset with pharmaceutical companies that push the stuff and mislead people. I’m still sick and I can’t eat anything which has become detrimental as I’m diabetic. My stomach hurts and I just feel overall horrible and there’s no way to flush this out of your system faster the ER doctor said I will probably not feel great for another month but there’s no such thing as flushing Ozempic out of your system. Never again will I go against my gut feeling. My neighbors daughter used it to lose weight after having a baby I couldn’t even believe it but now she can’t get the medication because her insurance company will only cover it with a diagnosis of diabetes and it’s very expensive without insurance, and she is already going back to her old ways of gaining weight and then some. Ozempic is just a crutch. Once you get off of it, the doctor is right away it will come back, unless you make strict modifications in your life and stick to them. Sadly, many people have a fast food mentality. They want to lose weight fast that they gained steadily over the years and years of bad eating habits. Doing it with this medication is definitely a roll of the dice with your life. The best thing I did with all of the Ozempic I had was throw it in the trash and never look back. I wish everyone well but please please be very careful just because it may appear to be working now. Doesn’t mean it will long-term this drug is very unpredictable per the ER doctors ♥️🙏🏻

Started .5 this last Monday…….25 didn’t do much…… hoping this works! I was happy to come across this video…… I’m always so afraid to take meds!

I've been on .25 for 3 weeks now. Did great the first week, no sides effects. Second and third week developed gas that smells like rotten egg and have increased flatulence. I'm so hoping this subsides because it has decreased my appetite and my testing shows much better.

It nearly killed me. In and out of hospital. Vomited and had diarrhea for 40 days. Finally figured out it was ozempic. Lucky to be alive.

I’ve been on Ozempic for 5-months working up to 1mg dosage and lost 25lbs very quickly. My A1C is down 1.5 points. Side effects were total loss of appetite, food smelling badly, and the nausea often, especially in the first 2-months. I’m a Canadian over 65-yes of age, so thankfully our government health insurance covers the cost. I would highly recommend Ozempic to assist in controlling diabetes.

I’ve been on ozempic for 6 months. I’ve lost just over 50 lbs. waiting on my a1c update. I do have nausea but it’s manageable. I also have gastro and diarrhea issues. When my stomach gets bad I stretch my dose from every 7 days to 10 to let my stomach heal. Diarrhea is only the first 2 days after my dose.

Great explanation.. I start my cycle tomorrow. First time using it.

The burping and upset stomach hits me 2-3 days a week, but I am losing weight and I found that changing up my diet and using Phazyme helped ease some of that. I did have to crank my water intake up way up.

Doctor, what is your opinion for this medication used purely for weight loss by people without diabetes?

Thank you for your solid explanation on Ozempic. i was one that had a problem with the dosage ( with the 1s all the way down) very confusing. Since I was coming to Ozempic because the side affects from Mounjaro were debilitating. On it first the body aches for so severe. Once the dose was in the next two days was hell. I couldn't move it was flu like body aches times 100. I continued using the dose monthly as prescribed. My body never got use to it. I was told to take the shot with a full stomach etc. I had to advocate for myself and say look it's been 4 months and 3 out of 7 days I'm laid up. Finally, my doctor switched me to ozempic. Today there are no side effects and can go about my days without pain. That brings the question: What was in the mounjaro that's not in ozempic? Lastly, why is my stomach talking to others in the room. It's so loud, does an antacid work? Thanks again Ellen

I'm extremely lucky I was out on a 2 month trial so I didn't have to pay but I do have Pcos and fatty liver! No diabetes but it runs on both sides in my family. Yesterday was my first day and I'm excited to see what happens :)
