Semaglutide has facilitated my loss of 30+ pounds over 3.5 months- and dropped my A1C from 8 to 6. I say, "facilitated", because the real key is a low carb/high-protein diet. The Semaglutide does its part by helping to control my appetite. Without some willpower on my part, I wouldn't have done so well.
Plz help me out here.. If we do low carb with semaglutide .. won't it make us hypoglycemic.. as alredy our sugar levels r low .. and adding diabetic drug to it?? I m not diabetic bt I m obese person.. I hav been doing keto on n off my whole life.. I loose wt bt again put on if I go off keto.. plz help
I started Rybelsus (semaglutide) on 8/27/21 and as of today 10/19/21 I am down 27lbs. As well as the medication I have been being mindful of carbs without cutting them out completely. Last A1c on 8/25/21 was 8.6. Will update at next 3 month follow-up around Thanksgiving.
As of now I’ve been on semaglutude at the 1mg for 9 months. In combination with a very low carb diet, my A1c went from 10.0 to 5.4 at my last dr appointment. Was on 2 insulins and metformin. Now off all except the once a week smeg. Shot. It helps my appetite, the low carb and watching what I eat controls my glucose.
@@Neelima.wasik2024 not at all. My lowest reading has been 85 and average is in the mid to upper 90’s. After meals I’ll hit in the 105-118 rang. According to my meter my 90 day is at 99.
Dayum~ Excellent A1C!~ Hope mine gets that low too~ Started in May. 8.1 to 6.6. Weight is still going down. BG numbers are much better, BP is improving as well. Check A1C again in December. Crossing my fingers
I've used Semaglutide, lost 30-35 pounds within a two month period. Now since the 30lbs I've noticed its harder to further lose the weight. Still I'm consistent in continuing the dosages and watch my eating (Food, Habits, etc.) while weight lifting and no less then three days of cardio to burn at a minimal 400 calories each time. I know the drug was a great help to get over the first hurdle and my choices will only determine if I reach my end goal, started at 314lb, Currently 285lb, Goal 250lb.
Hi, I know I am a year late but I wanted to ask how it ended up going for you. I am currently looking into semaglutide and would love to hear how it’s worked for you
He is down now from 320 to 240..A1c is perfect.. They switched him from ozempic to monjaro a month ago and he is still losing weight. I will caution.. If You do this to lose weight You really need to exercise because it does create muscle loss .He has even noticed it recently..
Start started Ozempic earlier this week at .25. I am currently at 268 and 6 2. I work out a few days a week, but have a tough time controlling eating. Will see what happens.
My AC1 was 7.1 at the start of using Ozempic (March). After 3 months my AC1 was 7.6 (June) and then in September my AC1 was 7.0. I have since dropped 55lbs. (220 down to 165), I still take oral meds. The side effects have been nothing less than brutal. Gas, bloating, diarrhea, vomiting, dizziness, nausea were at the top of the list, and I have other lesser side effects which are just as uncomfortable. I still experience all of those side effects but only slightly less so than at the beginning of taking Ozempic. So after 9 months I have realized a 25% reduction in my weight and I'm hoping my next AC1 has also improved. My family has been less than thrilled, they have been concerned due ro the severity of the side effects.
@@PrincessPorkchopQT in the past I have tried a number of "diets" and healthy eating programs. Currently, my family is only just coming to terms with my very much limited diet caused by Ozempic. I eat so very little (because I just can't) my husband often gets angry with me. I am now down another 10 pounds. My last AC1 was 6.7, which my doctor was happy with. My side effects are still with me, but I am learning to cope with them. My bouts of vomiting and diarrhea are slowly becoming less frequent (at about 7 week intervals as opposed to weekly a year ago)
Semaglutide definitely has improved my A1C. I eliminated short-term insulin I don't take a strong enough dose of Semaglutide for weight loss. Too much risk of low blood sugar.
I just looked this up- all the GLP-1 drugs have warnings on their websites that they have a potential to cause thyroid cancer- and liraglutide in particular has been linked to pancreatic cancer. Was this discussed at the event? I have heard a whole lot of good about these drugs but pancreatic cancer is one of the most fatal cancers there is
@@daniellemgodfrey that’s what is listed in the product insert but there are many documented cases of people getting pancreatic cancer after using this drug for two years- many cases in China
Are there scientific references relating Ozempic to sex drive? I've taken Ozempic for about a month and, to my surprise, sex drive has improved a lot. Does anyone else notice the same? I take antidepressants and they were relly affecting this aspect. I tried testosterone and gestrinone but none of them had too much effect.

TLDR: Semaglutide at a higher dose of 2.4 milligrams has shown significant benefits for weight loss in people with and without diabetes, but patients need to be aware of the dosage they are taking and focus on physical activity and lifestyle changes for overall health improvement. 00:00 💡 Semaglutide at a higher dose of 2.4 milligrams showed benefits for weight loss in people with and without diabetes, but many patients were unaware they were already taking a lower dose for diabetes treatment. 01:25 💡 Semaglutide at 2.4mg with intensive therapy for obesity, and the importance of continued usage. 01:41 📊 Semaglutide at 2.4mg led to 14.9% weight loss after 68 weeks, with continued gradual weight loss over time and 86% of participants reaching a 5+ pound loss. 02:31 💡 Adults without diabetes who took semaglutide experienced a weight loss of 15.3 kilograms, but 4.5% discontinued due to gastrointestinal side effects. 03:04 📊 Semaglutide for weight loss resulted in a 3.5% reduction in total fat mass and a 2% reduction in visceral fat, but also a 10% decrease in total lean body mass. 03:33 📊 Semaglutide shows promising results for weight loss in clinical trials. 03:34 💡 Patients need to focus on physical activity and lifestyle changes in addition to taking medication for weight loss in order to become healthier. 04:07 📊 Women had greater weight loss success with semaglutide, and those with lower baseline weight lost more, but FDA approval and reimbursement are still needed.
My AC1 was 10.1 before starting ozempic and 8 weeks later my AC1 is down at 6 and stable now plus i lost 20lbs. I lost my apetite which is very good because i would would eat double portions at supper Time , now i eat very small portions the équivalence of a 1 year old child if i try to eat more i get nautious.
Drug trials are great because you’re in a controlled environment and the medication is free for participates, however, in reality semaglutide for weight loss in the general population is absurdly unaffordable at $1700-$2000 month whereas most health plans deny it’s coverage and use.
That last note the Dr made about FDA approval for weight loss will change a lot of that. Step 1 in the process is proving it works, which I think has now been fairly well demonstrated. I think we can confidently say Novo Nordisk (the pharma co that makes it) will be pushing for that approval, and given that it's getting better results (by a little) than liraglutide (Victoza) which is the other drug in the same class which is also approved for weight loss, they've got a strong case. Once that happens, it's much easier to get CMS to cover it on Medicare/Medicaid patients and private insurers typically follow those coverage changes fairly rapidly after that. The big thing is that they want to see cost effectiveness, a return on investment, so to speak. If they give that patient with resistant obesity the very expensive drug ($24,000/yr is the kind of thing that makes healthcare costs skyrocket, friends, and we ALL pay for it), they'll need to see that over the course of the lifetime of that patient, they end up with reduced healthcare usage down the road. At this cost, it's a tough sell. No one talks about the price, but we darn well should be with every one of these drugs. The prices for these new drugs are often astronomical, especially at the beginning because the pharma company is trying to recoup the $2.5 billion on average it takes to develop a new drug.
Is Semaglutide as good as the potato-based diet which boots FGF21 (Eli Lilly, 2005)? FGF21 is the hormone released by the liver which increases metabolism, reduces body fat, increases longevity while eating more calories.
Wegovy is available but it keeps being out of stock . You may find a doctor willing to give you a prescription for Ozempic which is really the exact same thing but is made to prescribed for diabetes instead of weight loss. It’s the exact same medicine though
This made me so sick. Sulfer burps stomach pains and constipation. I lost 12 lbs first week after that not much. I was so sick i quit and im still sick feeling. NOT FOR ME
I was prescribed this for type 2 diabetes ok on 3 mg but 7 mg made me nauseous , headaches, stomach cramps and severe diarrhoea. I did lose a bit of weight only because I couldn’t face food with these side effects. Needless to say I stopped it. Feel better and am following the glucose goddess method.
I've ramped up to 1.25 mg over a period of 7 months. So your dose is higher than I have taken, and I've lost 20 lb, 10 lb in the last month. Why don't you try dropping the dose a lot?
@@ThingsILikke hi, yeah my weight was already relatively low I guess but I wanted to trim down and lose fat for my weeding. It definitely works but it created disordered eating for me… People were considered that I was getting too skinny and some said I looked like a sick bride, so I stopped the medication and started eating normally again. Now I weigh about 110 pounds … I miss being shredded though so I’d like to start it again but I am concerned about what it does to my body… The only real complaint I have with this medication is that it has given me SEVERE constipation. I’m still very backed up even though I’m not taking the shot anymore. For the past four months I have only pooped about once (twice if I’m lucky) per week, which is always VERY painful which have caused several hemorrhoids and I bleed every time… I’m not sure this is normal, so I am going to make an appointment with a doctor soon to get everything looked over… My husband is still taking the shot once a week and is down about 30 pounds since starting… Hope this helps.
@@MasterYourOwnDestiny Oh my gosh I am so sorry- not pooping for a month is seriously hazardous- bowel blockages can kill you. I am type 1 diabetic and I asked my doctor about GLP-1s because I heard such good things about them but they haven’t been proven safe and have been strongly linked to cancer. My doctor said that metformin is a better option but I already take that. Thank you for the info- if a GLp-1 that does not risk cancer comes out I would try that.
@@ThingsILikke in this video she does say it seemed to work better on people with lower weights (and on the women) so this is good to hear. might be great for people struggling with the last few pounds
My biggest complaint is that it’s made me excruciatingly constipated. I only poop once a week, and when I do, it’s extremely painful and bloody from the hemorrhoids it’s caused. But hey, At least I loook great!
I had to almost eliminate cheese from my diet, and I started taking 1-2 fiber pills a day. I do a lot with vegetables and any grains are whole grain. That solved the constipation problem.
I was 180 after a week I lost 20lbs trying to loose more and my A1C went from 6.1 to 5.5 it never got to 7.0 I was lucky now with ozempic I don't think I willl get to 7.0
Primarily it reduces your appetite. You eat at the time times, but your stomach will feel full after eating less food. It also slows how fast food moves through your system. For diabetics, we also note that the drug increases insulin secretion. These are good things to talk to your actual doctor about for more details.
Of course, it doesn't matter what ratio you want to dilute it to. What matters is that you do the math right when you're injecting it, so you get the number of milligrams that you planned on.
I have never experienced anemia in my life until being on Liraglutide then Semaglutide. The tiny bit of A1C improvement wasn't worth the constant fatigue and inability to stay awake during most days. Weight loss? Never happened.
I am normally a very energetic person, very high energy. This drug has almost shut me down. I hate it and am going off it. I have every single side effect x 10. I would rather deal with the hunger without meds. This drug makes me highly nauseous and dizzy 100% of the time. Weaning myself off as quickly as I can, with my doctors guidance. Glad it works for so many but definitely does NOT for me.
@Medscape Hi, thank you for the information. You mentioned STEP 1 through 4 but didn't mention STEP 5. Is there any information on that study, as it seems critical for the long term? Thanks!

@@s13rr4buf3 I’m taking it for blood sugar so the 7 mg is the level it would work here.
I lost 17 pounds in 2 months (at 1 mg injection weekly) .. I currently weigh 104 pounds now 😊
Really? So your weight was low already and you still lost that much? May I ask if you are diabetic?
@@ThingsILikke hi, yeah my weight was already relatively low I guess but I wanted to trim down and lose fat for my weeding. It definitely works but it created disordered eating for me… People were considered that I was getting too skinny and some said I looked like a sick bride, so I stopped the medication and started eating normally again. Now I weigh about 110 pounds … I miss being shredded though so I’d like to start it again but I am concerned about what it does to my body…
The only real complaint I have with this medication is that it has given me SEVERE constipation. I’m still very backed up even though I’m not taking the shot anymore. For the past four months I have only pooped about once (twice if I’m lucky) per week, which is always VERY painful which have caused several hemorrhoids and I bleed every time… I’m not sure this is normal, so I am going to make an appointment with a doctor soon to get everything looked over… My husband is still taking the shot once a week and is down about 30 pounds since starting…
Hope this helps.
BTW no, I am not diabetic. My husband has Type 2 though I think…
@@MasterYourOwnDestiny Oh my gosh I am so sorry- not pooping for a month is seriously hazardous- bowel blockages can kill you. I am type 1 diabetic and I asked my doctor about GLP-1s because I heard such good things about them but they haven’t been proven safe and have been strongly linked to cancer. My doctor said that metformin is a better option but I already take that. Thank you for the info- if a GLp-1 that does not risk cancer comes out I would try that.
@@ThingsILikke in this video she does say it seemed to work better on people with lower weights (and on the women) so this is good to hear. might be great for people struggling with the last few pounds
My biggest complaint is that it’s made me excruciatingly constipated. I only poop once a week, and when I do, it’s extremely painful and bloody from the hemorrhoids it’s caused. But hey, At least I loook great!
I had to almost eliminate cheese from my diet, and I started taking 1-2 fiber pills a day. I do a lot with vegetables and any grains are whole grain. That solved the constipation problem.
Take probiotics, it will help
Just take a stool softener !!!
Take Dulcolax pills
I take Miralax 3X per week to avoid this side effect.
@@sabetibrahim860 dulcolax only for max of 5 days. You can't take that too often
How Do I get It do you except Medicare And medicade
Is it better than Metformin
I was 180 after a week I lost 20lbs trying to loose more and my A1C went from 6.1 to 5.5 it never got to 7.0 I was lucky now with ozempic I don't think I willl get to 7.0
Were you dieting and exercising?
She keeps on saying, “step”, whereas she means, “group”.
Semaglutide Treatment Effect in People with Obesity (STEP)
Do you have to have a prescription
Yes
The only benefit is there I will feel no hungry? Or does it makes body burn more calories or something like that?
Primarily it reduces your appetite. You eat at the time times, but your stomach will feel full after eating less food. It also slows how fast food moves through your system. For diabetics, we also note that the drug increases insulin secretion. These are good things to talk to your actual doctor about for more details.
If you have 3mg semaglutide, how much bacteriastatic water would you put in?
Of course, it doesn't matter what ratio you want to dilute it to. What matters is that you do the math right when you're injecting it, so you get the number of milligrams that you planned on.
id like to stay on it indefinitely
Can we get this medicine over the counter or dr.’s prescription is required plz reply . Thank you so much
prescription only
I have never experienced anemia in my life until being on Liraglutide then Semaglutide. The tiny bit of A1C improvement wasn't worth the constant fatigue and inability to stay awake during most days. Weight loss? Never happened.
@Simon Hadley
My husband says he's tired after the shots too.. But never equated it to anemia.. It isn't on the side effect list..🤔🧐
@@nobodyknowsanything705 Fatigue is one of the possible side effects but they don't specify the source of the fatigue which is very clever of them.
I am normally a very energetic person, very high energy. This drug has almost shut me down. I hate it and am going off it. I have every single side effect x 10. I would rather deal with the hunger without meds. This drug makes me highly nauseous and dizzy 100% of the time. Weaning myself off as quickly as I can, with my doctors guidance. Glad it works for so many but definitely does NOT for me.
@@LivingMyBestLife517 agree. That is my experience too.
@@LivingMyBestLife517 what was your highest dosage?
Mraz Extension
WOW! Hang your banner on the Berkeley over pass on the freeway..... Semaglutide works tu r d
I can't taker her saying that word wrong over and over. Read the word. English has rules, follow them. That sht drives me fkn nuts.
@Medscape Hi, thank you for the information. You mentioned STEP 1 through 4 but didn't mention STEP 5. Is there any information on that study, as it seems critical for the long term? Thanks!
She briefly mentioned that effects were still noted at 68 weeks
