It’s amazing. I’ve been on victoza for 6 months and saw a few benefit. Nothing as amazing as ozempic. Even if I think of a cheese burger. I feel sick. I crave healthy food and my blood sugars are always stable. One of the best medicines invented yet for diabetics!
Me too!
Did you lose weight?
I did victoza and was sick all the time, no difference in my blood sugars and my body ballooned up, so after 2 years I stopped. Ozempic this far is my answer at keeping my blood sugars under 100
@@mushroompizza5804 yes. I used to be 19 stones of fat. Now I’m 15 stones of pure muscle. (Diet,sleep and hard work in the gym)
My doc prescribed this strictly for weight loss. I lost 10 pounds first month with 3 to 4 days exercise.
This is the best explanation I've seen. Thank you!
The way you have described everything has made me so much at ease. Thank you for caring and explaining. I was just prescribed this and didn’t know where to go for support. Thank you!
Dr. ERGIN you’re the man! Thank you from Canada 🇨🇦!
Wow, thanks! If you like this video, you may find this playlist helpful too:

I just found your channel today - my first day of starting Ozempic. Thank you so much for posting this info. My endocrinologist explained it well, but it was great to have it reaffirmed and to get that reassurance. ( I have a goofy memory after two bouts of cancer/chemo and a bone marrow transplant). I’ve been on steroids since my transplant 5 years ago (!) and my bg numbers have been all over the place. Memory problems as well so I’m hoping the once a week will really be beneficial.
Again, thank you for the information and the comforting tone in which you presented it. I’m now a subscriber!🙂
Thank you for the complement Cruz! Feel better.
I found I couldn’t tolerTe it. Horrible nausea and stomach cramping for two weeks, took another few days to get it out of my system. They prescribed Trulicity instead but I’ve been afraid to start it. Right now I’ve just gone back to my novolog.
It’s just trial and error I guess. 🙄
@Yung sin on da track im all the same meds my sugar was 345 tonight, and I'm
worried about ozempic as well
Are you still on it? What’s the update? How expensive was it? Thank you
@@cruzdirector8637 Ozempic really made me feel sick at first. There are two things that helped me. #1 Start with a very low dose, and as tolerated go up by a couple clicks slowly. #2 For me I found out I was still eating too much, which was what was making me sick. Now I easily eat much less, and have lost a total of 26 lbs in 7 months. It is like you said trial and error. Just don't give up on the Ozempic. It will work if you change your eating habits. Now I can't stand any oily, or greasy food. No heavy meals, or i feel uncomfortable. It takes a while, but since the old eating habits make me sick, I no longer desire things like spaghetti, pizza, etc. Good luck, regardless of what you choose. and My prayers for your success.
dr Ergin i am just now seeing this and i want to cry ... i have suffered all these years and now i find that this product has been available the whole time ... today is 8/3/21 and i go to my doctor tomorrow. thank you so much for sharing this information with us and how simple you make it. thank you again!
How have you got on ?
I'm new to this med..ty for this ever clear tutorial..u rock
My DR started me on 1mg for 2 weeks, I am now on 2.5mg - mainly for weight loss. In 4 weeks I've lost 17 lbs (was 390) I've had a bit of constipation and an upset stomach when I over eat (thought I was going to die lol) but over all this has been amazing for me. My sugars are under control!
Hey can you update us on journey if you don’t mind @bret ruston
I would love to hear an update from you Bret!!!
Sorry all just seeing this now. I’ve lost 90 lbs and my sugars are amazing!!! Side effects wore off and the results weren’t as quick after a few months but slow and steady wins the race!!!

I went on Ozempic about 2 weeks ago and fortunately had no side effects, and it has made weight loss easy. I actually have to be careful not to eat too few calories so I don't lose the weight too fast. 95% of my food cravings for fatty, crunchy, snacks have disappeared, and so has the urge to overeat regular foods. I feel satisfied with eating ⅓ of what I used to eat and I am losing over 2lbs/week. My only negative reaction has been that I am tending toward constipation, probably because of the reduced volume of food, but 4 prunes a day has fixed that.

More water too. I had that issue too.
Thanks for the tip on constipation
Thank You so much for putting this up here to help patients and caregivers who need extra help understanding.
Going to start Ozempic next week. Thank you for your explanation - it made me feel better.
I was just going to take this medicine and I must say that you explained it beautifully! Thanks very much! You made the whole process so much less stressful for me
You are so welcome!
Thank you for posting this video. I too am a bit sensitive to medication, and get nervous taking something new. After watching your video, I spoke with my Dr. and she approved me starting at 6 clicks, to 10 clicks and then to 17. I got to 17 today, and it has been much easier I think, giving my body time to adjust to this medication. I only have a 1/3 of my colon and I was concerned about the constipation. I have found that prunes and water are very helpful. Thank you again! You made it possible for me to feel comfortable moving forward with this!!

Very informative - Thanks Doc!
You're welcome
Very helpful. I was prescribed this after my A1C went from 5.7 to 6.0. I was doing keto dieting at the time. Keto nearly killed me... I am losing weight exercising and eating properly. Just started. I feel great. Have not yet reached 0.5 dose yet. I have one more weak to go. I am being closely monitored by my Endocrinologist, Cardiologist and Nutritionist. No problems, no side effects so far. It was prescribed for me just as you described it. You have to stay compliant with your eating. Good product.
How is this working for you now???
Keto nearly killed u how ?
Any updates on this?
Thank you for making this video, I have recently been prescribed Ozempic and am researching the medication. The suggestion to begin with a lower than .25 dose iwill be so helpful! I would not have been aware of the possibility of a lower than .25 dose if I had not watched your video!
Very good info! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! If you like this video, you may find this playlist helpful too:

Very good and informative video, Love his accent!!!
Thanks! 😃
I tried Ozempic last year but had to quit because of nausea. However, I decided to try it again and so far the side effects have been much more manageable. So, if at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
Thanks so much! I love your videos and appreciate the information. My doctor just prescribed Ozempic for me and I have lost 6 lbs in the first 5 days. Thankful for the sample because it is so expensive and my insurance deductible is extremely high so I’m not sure about how long I’ll be able to stay on it. Hope all is well Dr. Ergin. Keep the info coming because you are a light!!
Hello, what's the gimmick you spent three hours at the gym daily or run 5 miles?
@@bobboscarato1313 nope my mom lost 6 pounds in 6 days but we just went for a 45 minute walk and eat less carbs
All - when this video was made, Ozempic didn't have FDA approval for weight loss, so some ppl had issues getting insurance approval. It has now been approved by the FDA & ozempic for weight loss is called "Wegovy" & can be dosed higher (Ozempic's highest dose was 1mg, Wegovy can be dosed at 2.4mg).
In Australia the drug is only approved for Diabetes control and not fat lose.
The good news is that just recently Medicare subsided the drug otherwise a full course was $1,700 and now its $41.00 for a script and those with a concession card its $6.60 per script.
I want the information on thyroid cancer. It has a big warning for that.
Thank you for this very enlightening video. My doctor subscribed as weight-loss aid. I cannot take a stimulant product. I’m concerned with black box label of this product bc I may have underlying thyroid issues. Bloodwork always normal.. however I have a family history of hyper and hypothyroidism maternally. I do have modules which Doc monitors closely. Will it be safe to start ozempic knowing this?
Great review!

Thanks Doc. I just got mine today! Hope it works for me.
I hope so too
Thank you Dr
I’m not diabetic but my insulin levels are very high. I read ozempic induces the secretion of insulin so isn’t that counterproductive ? My endocrinologist prescribed me this knowing that I have very high insulin levels.
Thank you sharing

My doctor prescribed me 1mg of ozempic per week. After my first shot, I woke up every morning with nausea and brain fog. I even threw up a couple mornings and I missed a day of work because of nausea. I told him I’m not taking it anymore. I still take my insulin twice a day. I did not take the week 2 dose of ozempic and I feel right as rain again.
I think your doctor should have started you on .25mg then slowly increase
I take Ozempic for weight loss, I was 129kg when I started and within 8 weeks I lost 2 kilos. Doctor up it to 1mg just this Wednesday, more nausea, tiredness and now consitpation.
It slows digestion so be careful to not overeat... I snack on dried prunes and try to have more fiber.. I hope your doing ok!!!
2 kg in 8 weeks that nothing to be honest
I'm up to 1 MG of Ozempic and my Doctor just started me on Jardiance. Can you please do a review on Jardiance? Thank you!!
I was put on ozempic in May. I was in hospital and spent 3 months in fear of losing my left foot. I still have foot, lost 4" off my waist and last hba1c is 6.7
Hello there , do you have any side affects? I was on trulicity and trulicity was killing me with side affects
Hi, I started taking Ozempic about a month and a half ago and it did well on controlling my blood sugar but I had awful side effects. I did lose about 10 pounds but I also had constipation, couldn't eat anything and everything tasted weird. No nausea or anything like that but since I couldn't eat, I got really weak and a little dizzy. I missed four days of work because of that. I don't think I could ever use it again!
I switched from 1.8 units of Victoza to 0.5 of Ozempic, and in 4 months I have lost 13 pounds on a regular diet. I just stopped craving certain foods like pasta, pizza, and foods high in fat.
Do u take ozempic daily or once a week, if u don't have diabeties?
@@aizazaheer8995 I take it once a week but I do have diabetes.I am not sure why anyone would take it unless they have diabetes. It would make your blood sugar too low. It is for people who have diabetes that have difficulty lowering their blood sugar. It helps with your body's ability to make it's own insulin. It is not for weight loss, even though that is one of it's side effects.
Thats only 3lbs a week no different than slimming world
@@deborahmasjedi7932 I am now down 26 pounds total 6 months later.
@@TOMTUSA1 hope it goes well I just started today.
I learned about ozempic from your video, I have never had true blood sugar control. I made an appointment with my doctor and asked to be put on it.
I am happy to say since the second week my morning blood sugars have ranged Grimm 87 to 98. And holding. Thank you Dr. for this critical information for diabetics I truly needed this. So far no side effects on the lowest dose, however DON'T eat fat or a keto diet high in fat because the toilet bowl will be your best friend. 🤣
Plus I have gone from 231 lbs to 224 in the beginning of my third week.
This drug has been the answer for me so far. Thank you, thank you and THANK YOU!!!A forever fan.
You missed the first step . You have to test the needle before first application by dialling to test notch then seeing if droplet appears.
Hello I was just prescribed Ozempic and my first week with .25 dosage I lost almost 10 lb and also my Glucose has been under 100 most of the time. I just started my second week and I hope I continue with my weight loss as well as my glucose management.
10 lbs in one week? That's amazing congrats!
Hello are you type 2? I'm currently on metformin for two months now and I'm obese but haven't lost any weight at all on metformin. I don't see my endocrinologist untill December but being that I'm obese and not losing weight I'm thinking about trying to get a earlier appointment and switch from metformin to ozempic
@@TemayaCurryAlston Yes I am type 2 and I just wanted to give you an update all together I have lost 15 lb using both ozempic and Xigdyo 5/1000
Haven't started on Ozempic fearing hypoglycemia (I have seen a family member experience it - twice - and almost lose their life. It is scary). I thought you could not experience hypoglycemia on Ozempic because it is not insulin. Now I see in the comments that IT IS possible. For now I am on Metformin, Glipizide and Invokana. My Dr. said to discontinue the Glipizide, but I forgot to ask her about the Invokana. Now I am more afraid than ever to start :(
possible for diabetics. important to still eat regardless of not feeling hungry or of course your blood sugar will tank.
I had a low sugar reaction on Ozempic, so I’m now drinking something to keep my sugar from plummeting. I have nausea most of the time, and feel dehydrated on .25. I wonder if the nausea will get better?
I want an honest suggestion here. Can ozempic be used just for weight lost purpose even if one is not diabetic or pre diabetic
@@Cool.stranger-1989 It has been prescribed for that, but most insurance won't cover it for that, and at $1000/mo without insurance it is a pricey luxury.
I started 3 days ago and dizzy and so weak and tired. Trying to have small light snacks but i just want these side effects to subside. I only did 0.25. So scared these effects will last.
Well I started the Ozempic on Tuesday 23rd Nov 6 days ago by Friday 3 days later I was down 5lb could believe it so had im doing it on the big machine at the gym that tracks you weight and sends to you phone because I couldn't believe it so I shall be weighing myself again on Tuesday tomorrow so I shall be sending an update guys plus apart from acid reflux if I eat certain foods iv had no side effects my dosage is 0.5 once a week
I am a type 1 diabetic with an A1C of 8.4 . We have been having a hard time to control my sugars . My Dr. Just prescribed me this I used to be a type 2 but my condition progressed into type 1 over the years . I am 39 260lbs I also take u500 in combination with Ozempic today is actually my first day using it .
I’m also 39 and type 1 but I think I’m something I’m learning to be 1.5. How has it been working for you so far?
@@stargreen2818 lost 25lbs and it has helped me decrease overeating . While I do think it has helped my sugars . I still feel I get extreme highs at times especially in the morning I can be 250-300+ when I wake up it’s really annoying .
@@LikquidDutch Wow! I hate that you’re still having highs but that’s an amazing amount of weight to have lost in a month. Congrats! Are you taking in conjunction with insulin? I wonder if you’re kind of in the middle between type 1 and 2 like me and if a small amount of insulin would help.
@@stargreen2818 I’m a type 1 but originally was a type 2 which later turned into a type 1 . My body makes very little to no insulin according to the cpep test . But the Dr says my condition is much like a type 2 . I am very resistant to insulin .
Is the fullness One feel with Ozempic a direct cause/ design of the medicin or is it a fluke/Side effect? Im very glad for having the chans to try Ozempic.
This doctor forgot to mention that Ozempic slows your digestion down... Thats why you feel so full.. Even a glass of water can make me feel full.. One bite of pizza feels like 5
Thank you
You're welcome
I’ve been on Ozempic for over a year. My A1C is much better and I’ve lost some weight but I deal with side effects on a daily basis. Sometimes they’re bad.
I have a question about ozempic please. So before I started taking ozempic my blood sugars were always high, even if I ate well. But recently I was put on ozempic and wow night and day. I used to take novolog before my meals and the dr took me off of novolog because I was experience low blood sugars during meals. And I was on 50 units of tresiba and because of ozempic I now take 40 units a night. So last night I fell asleep early - didn’t plan onto and woke up at 830am. I totally missed taking my tresiba. But when I woke in the morning my fasting blood sugar was 103! I have a drs appt in a few weeks but does that mean possibly I can get off of insulin? I am amazed on how Ozempic is helping me more than insulin.
That is amazing.. How are you doing now? Did doc take you off insulin??
Can a doctor prescribe higher dose like 1.5 - 2 mg of Ozempic? ( Like for a tall man who does not feel that 1 mg helps anymore with satiety)

Ozempic comes with 4mm needles. My experience with 4mm needles and Lantus insulin was not good. Sugar kept going up. When I reverted back to 8mm needles, things stabilised. So the question is: Can I use 8mm needles with the Ozempic pen? Thanks for your guidance.
Ask your Doctor.
Hi, I write from Italy. For me it was a tremendous experience: vomiting at least three times a week, very strong nausea, dyspepsia, aerophagia and exhaustion.

Just took my second dose , I havent loss ANYTHING or stop eating anything😞😞
Thanks to share informative video
Sir How long will use ozempic
Does weight gain happen after completion of drug course?
I feel like dying of side effects. Overall, I don't eat much. but this causes metallic taste, nausea, headaches, diarrhoea and a strange sensation in my ear canal to throat and chest (not GERD) is there any meds I can take to help control the side effects in Australia pls?
My husband lost weight on this and it kept his diabetes in check, however, the dr said it was messing with his pancreas so he took him off. My husband wanted to reduce the dosage but his dr took him completely off it....bummer for us.
How does this medication benefit for a patient with heart failure and fluid restriction?
What about people without diabetes who wants to reduce weight?
If you have multiple thyroid nodules, the biggest being 1.4cms, 2.2cms and a history of Graves Disease that has been in remission for many years is it too risky to take Ozempic given that rodents developed thyroid cancer when taking Ozempic? Currently on 2 Metformin and 1 Jardiance in the morning, 2 Metformin at night.
My doctor has put me on Ozempic because my liver keeps producing glucose I am not overweight and have been living on Keto diet for several years and prior to that a low carb diet similar to Atkins since 1970's. I want to know how many carbs should I eat on this new medication to avoid ketoacidosis. I am currently eating about 40 carbs / day prior to that only 10 but it did not stop high blood sugars. Nobody seems to know the answer. I am going to find it difficult to start eating more carbs after all this time. I am 75 and last A1c wat 11.1, no other diabetic symptoms.
Dear All, we have Ozempic 0.5 but it created a lot of problems last couple of times. How we have to adjust the syringe to make it 0.25 instead of 0.5. There are 35 clicks between 0.5 and zero. Shall we do 17 and then use the injection to make the dose 0.25? 🙏 thanks
You skipped/forgot the priming part...? (To check that the flow-through is OK). It seems that this first mark is not on your pen? Maybe they changed the design in 2020?
One time priming is enough at the beginning
My hba1c was 5.6 and I’m over weight with a BMI > 30, my MD put me on Ozempic to help assist with weight loss. I’ve lost 12 lbs so far and just went up to the 0.5 dose but I’m very concerned with hypoglycemia. Is this likely? Should I be checking my blood sugar? My doctor just told me “it’ll make it better” but my fasting blood sugar is already around 75-80
how do you know the effects are from all the water it makes you drink? it's made you pass a lot more water hasn't it?
Can you do a video of Ozempic and Metformin together. Especially with PCOS and insulin resistance? 😊
Hei, do you take azempic and metaformin together? My doctor just prescribed med azempic after 3 years taking metaformin. I also have PCOS.
Same here! Do you Thame them together?
I take them together ☺️
I took my first dose and I could only eat 1/4 of what I normally eat for breakfast. I feel full and have no desire to eat only to drink water. I was on Trulicty before but the cost is so much more than Ozempic. I did lose 37lbs on Trulicty; can't imagine how much I'm going to lose now. Wish m luck and better health ❤️
OneTake, in what time frame did it take for you to lose 37 lbs?
How long did it take you to lose weight on Olympic

Hello, hope you are doing well. I started using ozempic in September 2022 with 0.5mg . Initially i felt nausea i lost appetite i lost 4 to 5 kg in the whole period of 1 to 2 month of period after that it stopped losing weight neither it was losing in inches i increased my ozempic dose to 1mg since November but still no loss in weight no nausea . Im eating like normal no decrease in appetite as if my body got used to ozempic and it doesn’t effect anymore . What should i do should i stop using ozempic as it is not effecting 😞
Can i start ozempic course
With my daily use insoline which use insoline last 6 year
Hi Doctor, does other medications during the Ozempic usage impacts slow absorption? started Ozempic 3 weeks ago with initial two dose of .25 and from 3rd .5ml. The blood sugar levels already great, lost 6 lbs in 3 weeks. Any solution to control constipation ?
Can you have some dried prunes with half an apple? It might help
@@rosedolch8637 thanks
Aloe juice Walgreens or Walmarts 1 gal under $7.
Take 1/4 cup daily with water or fav drink.
Prunes are great as someone else said. Apples however can contribute to constipation. They contain pectin, which is like a thickener for your poo. That being said it can work both ways for people. Some it relieves diarrhea and others causes constipation, so be careful.
I was on Victoza; Dr. called me and told me to stop taking it; about 21/2 years ago I started taking Ozempic ,25 ml. then went up to .50 ml. ; about 4 months ago we upped to 1 ml. I have not lost any weight whatsoever. Pretty distressed!
I am doing low carb/ dirty keto long with it and getting great results. Try it.
I am the same been on it now for 5 weeks been on 1 mg for a week now and have lost absolutely no weight so far getting very disheartened did you eventually loose any weight if so what did you do.
@@sameday7144 Yes, it took a few months but I lost 23 lbs. Now I'm switching 2 - 2mg. Ozempic. looking to shed more pounds.
Just started 2nd week two days ago on ozempic. I typically drink a few beers when I get off work, I notice last night as I stopped to get beer,,, the thought of drinking it kinda made me bit sick...humm guess that's a good side effect...I don't think drinking beer is going to be an option no more.
Hello Doctor, I just got my blood results, and I have prediabetes , my doctor prescribed me the first 4 weeks the 0.5 then 1 mg for the following 2 months,
I took the first dose 3 days ago, I had nausea and vomiting for 2 days, went back and I was dehydrated, got some IV FLUIDS, feel much better at DAY. 3, but I really can't eat, I guess it is a good thing, doctor instead I stay on the same doses, thanks.
@Lena Eshky I’m having similar reaction to Ozempic. I’ve been on it for two weeks. I’ve been dehydrated and I think I’ve had low blood sugar. I’ve lost 13 lbs my dr wants me to continue I need to loose weight and my a1c is getting to high. The nausea is difficult. I’ll post again good luck.
Hi doctor I used it for 3 weeks I find out my thyroid hormone drastically gone up from one to 4.80 I’m always tired and no energy my blood sugar still same range pls reply thank u
Really bummed out started ozempic this week ended up in the Er. I had severe stomach cramps, throwing up and had bloody direahea. The doctor told me not to take anymore, believe I will not take anymore ever again totally not worth it.
Is Ozempic (Semaglutide) injections insulin? Are they bad for doing keto omad?
No they are not insulin which is great
Hi
Do you do any lab work for starting the medication ? Or during the medication
Dr Ervin is this drug more effective than Victoza or Saxenda?
Ahmet Ergin, MD thank you for replying. I have one more question. Can you take Ozempic long term?
@@SugarMDs Thank you.
@@indigoarcher of course. Anytime. I hope it was helpful.
@@indigoarcher yes ozempic can be taken years and years
Yes definitely It can be used for long-term
I did great on 0.25, when I moved to 0.50 I got pancreatitis. Do you believe I should give it another try and stay at 0.25? Because for 4 weeks it was working great
My Dr said she wasn’t going to move me up in dosages until it stops working. So if I can stay at .25 forever I think I will
we have to keep fridge after ?
My problem with being put on it is the cost. My doctor wants me to take it instead of flipside but cost has kept me from making change

how much is this, o need it
Hi, I have a full pen of 0.25-0.5 of ozempic, I need to take a 1mg dose , can I take two doses of .05 shots to make up my 1mg shot, I don’t want to waste that pen. Also I’ve been on it now for 5 weeks and have not lost any weight at all, please can you tell me when you think my weightloss will start happening, I’m getting very discouraged. Thankyou.
I produce insulin !!!! More than the normal. Can l use it ? My diabetologist prescribed --- gave it to me.
My pharmacist showed me how to prime the needle to make sure there’s no air bubbles in the injection. This was not mentioned in this video! Just fyi
@laurenzmoekeiberg9581, Thanks for mentioning that helpful tip about priming the needle, I'll include that in future videos. It's vital to get accurate and important information across. Appreciate it!
Merhaba Dr bey, ben saxenda kullanıyorum ama istahimi kesmediği icin doktorum bugun ozempic ısmarladı daha başlamadım cunku side effect lerinden korkuyorum. saxenda da 3 de oldugum icin ozempic de direk 1 den baslamami tavsiye etti. Saxenda 3 deyim ama bazen basım donuyor ve midem bulanıyor. Siz direk 1 den baslamak konusunda ne düşünüyorsunuz? teşekkürler..
Turkce yazinca cevap alamıyoruz anlaşılan.
Direk 1 den başlama. En alt dozdan başlamalısınız vücudun alışması için. Direk 1 den başlarsanız çok kötü yan etkilerini görürsünüz.
Can type 1 diabetic take this as well?
I have a hurt burn can I go with that injection
If I am in remission for colitis can I take ozempic?
I have a few questions but mainly I would love to hear more experienced opinions on my case.
My toddler is 24 months old, and still breastfeeding 5 times a day, she is big and healthy with a good healthy appetite, and loves her mamas milk so much.
Thing is I have PCOS and I'm hypothyroid and I have increasingly back and hip pain. Also high cholesterol and pre-diabetic.
So I feel in a pickle, a few of my doctors said that because my toddler is already 2 years old, that there would not be a problem, another suggested to pump and discard 24 hours after the shot to minimize risk if any.
I would love to hear your experience and input.
Thank you!
I've read precautions for breastfeeding. It transmits to the baby.
My Doctor put me on 0.25 for the first week and then 0.5 for the next 3 weeks. I hope this is ok. I noticed you said we should take 0.25 for 4 weeks and then start on 0.5
as long as you tolerate the drug it is ok.
Hi Dr I am not diabetic I wanna use actually I did my first one for losing weight I got to much headache is that ok

@@SugarMDs not quite 100% but slowly on the mend
I tested positivt for covid this week on tuesday, i take Ozempic on saturdays, can i take Ozempic as usuall. This coming saturday? My fever broke today (thursday).
I thought OZEMPIC I’d a hormone and is not insulin.. so why in the pop up writing as he explained how to use it, it said “Inject insulin”??
I had an A1C of 11 in June and my doctor prescribed Ozempic. In November my A1C had dropped to 7.3 and my doctor was happy. I lost @ 12 pound also.
The problem I have is the first 2 days after the weekly injection, I'm sick and don't feel like doing much of anything. During these 2 days, I have diarrhea and a terrible amount of gas in both my stomach and my colon. I have never burped or pass gas like this before. I thought maybe at first the problem would stop as my body became accustomed to Ozempic. No such luck! After 6 months on Ozempic my side effects have not changed. The problems are the same as the first week on Ozempic. I keep using Ozempic only because it has lowered my A1C which I could not control without it.
I just started with the highest dose 😬
Hi I start my first does today I’m nervous and excited if I experience nausea maybe should I take with food would that help. I know you said with or without but just curious
I have been just prescribed Ozempic. I am very scared of the side effects since I am typically pretty sensitive to medications. I have read many reviews that people have serious issues with the side effects of the medication. I liked your recommendation of just doing a few clicks. Would that minimize the GI side effects?

2 years later how did it work for you? Any side effects?
Is there a good time to use ozempic to reduce the side effects? Before or after a meal, or maybe at bedtime?
Hi Linda, No, time of the day does not matter for ozempic side effects. It peaks in 48 hours typically and side effects may last for few days. to reduce side effects you can have small meals, avoid fatty food, and avoid eating late. Ginger also help as natural antinausea food.
@@SugarMDs Hello Dr., since you have said avoiding fatty foods reduces side effects, does this mean that ozempic shouldn’t be used in combination with a low carb/high fat ketogenic diet ? What is the best diet to use with ozempic for non-diabetics taking it for weight loss ?
Hello...I read it's better to take it at night..you feel "less" bad about nausea etc...next week is my 3rd dose. I will take it at night. Took it in the morning this week..two days of nausea. Couldn't eat.
I am on ozempic and it is working for me but it is so expensive can you please offer suggestions for this?
What else have you tried? What if you had a Guilt-free Gameplan to build confidence, realistic focus, and accountability to reach your weight loss goals?
Can I stop it after weight loss or I will gain what I lost?
