I’m a type 1. I’ve lost about 30 lbs in 4 months. I already eat a very carb restricted diet and have not changed that at all. In my experience, if you eat trash low quality food you will feel a lil nauseous. I eat quality food. Occasionally take Pepcid at night. Feel so much better with the weight off. I am at 180 now. I’m 5’8”. The weight just falls off. I haven’t changed anything. Keep in mind that the media always needs something to talk about try or not true. I am sharing my personal experience.😊
I’m a type 2 diabetic. I have neuropathy in my feet that keeps spreading. I don’t care at all about weight loss. I’m seeing my doctor this week and will be discussing Ozempic as an option to help me control my blood glucose and stop the progression of neuropathy.
I started on Saxenda (Liraglutide) back in March. I wanted to lose 28lbs. I got it on a private prescription for weight loss. It’s been amazing! Yes I had to learn to embrace the nausea and sometimes vomiting and I had to stop using Toujeo while on Saxenda due to constant lows that are difficult to treat because I’m nauseous! But yep I would recommend it as I went from 143lbs to 113lbs in 3 months with very little effort (unpleasant but definitely made things easier!)
I have type 2 diabetes. Ozempic has helped me with weight loss by decreasing my appetite. 2 1/2 months and I’m down 23 lbs. I’m on a lower dose of 0.5mg. I do get a little nausea but that’s usually the first day or two after my shot. This also got my sugars to be in more of a normal range than any other medication I have taken thus far.
I’m also type 1 (LADA). I’ve lost 33 lbs. Now I basically eat a regular size lunch and have a snack for “dinner”. I’ve never really liked breakfast and still skip it. Going to start 2mg in 2 weeks.
I appreciate your video’s. You’re not trying to push an agenda. You present you experience and allow others to make their own decisions. My doctor prescribed Ozempic. I did an initial trial to see if I would get nausea. I didn’t. However, my endo didn’t give clear instructions and I never took it. I think I will since I have high afternoon blood sugars.
I'm type 2. 68 years old. Been on ozempic for about 3-4 months. Went from 113kgs to 104 so far. Fasting blood ranges from 4.6 to 6.2. I also take supplements such as berberine, benfotiamine and a few others. Dr berg is worth looking up on this subject also.
Hello, a quick thank you for your vids they are great! I was on Ozempic for the better part of a year, and I did Not lose weight, I thought the same that I would and I monitored weight but no. I didn't want to lose weight, my doctor put me on it for diabetes type 2. Maybe various body systems react differently, but I did not lose an inch. I have now stopped ozempic because I really didn't want so much insulin in my body cuz I was also on novo rapid and Lantus. Actually since starting the dexcom g6 the early alerts have helped me stay on top of high sugars. That's been a savior for me. I want to get off of all these insulins. This past week I have also cut the Lantus in half. I find as long as I control my diet and keep on top of sugar counts I've been keeping a balanced sugar level. Have a great day!
I’m on ozempic, as a transplant recipient I developed type 2 bc of my anti rejection medications( prednisone and tacrolimus) I was on in 3 years ago before my first transplant declined. I had to start peritoneal dialysis and during the year and half on that I gained 20 ounces and my stomach was distended from dialysis . Last September I was lucky to receive another transplant but still have 20 pounds to loose and a stomach that makes me look pregnant. I restarted ozempic 3 months ago and did loose about 10 pounds the only side effects I had was loss of appetite and nausea . It was good good but now it’s taken a month to get it approved to refill so back to the strong side effects. I think it helps me but I’m willing to try another medication.
Well, I use Mounjaro and it worked for me. I have lost 12 pounds. I’ve been using it for 4 months. Mild side effects (nausea and heartburn) at the beginning . Btw I am a type 1 diabetic. The best is my glucose is “more” steady throughout the day.
When I refused Metformin upon my T2D diagnosis (because I can't do pills and I've heard horror stories about Metformin), they prescribed Ozempic instead. The lowest possible dose (0.25), and it has done *wonders* for my blood sugar (along with improved diet and exercise, of course). I was originally supposed to go up to 0.50 after a month of use, but my endo said my numbers had improved so much, I could continue at 0.25. I haven't yet experienced any side effects after almost a year on the drug, and my weight has been steady (most of my weight loss came pre-diagnosis, as one of the symptoms something was wrong). Interesting: I only notice Ozempic's appetite suppression if I take my weekly dose in the morning. I literally feel full all day then, but if I take the shot in the evening or at night, I don't experience a suppressed appetite.
I'm a t2d... I'm starting mounjaro next week. I was on 2mg of ozempic and i was one of the ones that gained weight on it. :/ I didn't have any side effects though. But I'm also suffering from fibromyalgia pains and premenopausal pains as well which could have limited my movements. 😓😓 I would love to see what you think of mounjaro. Thank you for the in depth dive!!
One thing I've noticed with Ozempic and other such drugs, and I don't know whether there's anything to it or if it's just coincidence: everyone I know who's experienced gastrointestinal side effects with Ozempic or Metformin or [insert other T2D drug here] is also lactose intolerant. Those who aren't lactose intolerant don't experience side effects (or if they did, they were incredibly minor and short-lived). Not sure if there's anything to that or not, just something I've noticed from an anecdotal standpoint.
I am a T2 diabetic for 12 yrs and have been on ozempic for 10 months now. I have always managed my a1c pretty well 6.2 - 6.5. Needed to lose 40 pounds. Haven't lost a single pound. Seriously considering to discontinue taking ozempic and not deal with the constant constipation, stomach pain and nausea and cotinue with my Humalog and Lantus.
Lyumjev and Tresiba are better. Also add Jardiance or the new BRENZAVVY. It is cheaper. Mounjaro is better than Ozempic for weight loss. Even better will be the new triple agonist, retatrutide when the FDA approves it soon. Diabetes is a tough job. Don't give up. 😂
I have the same feelings about ozempic. I did lose 35 pounds on rybelsus (we did move to a newer house during that time). I have noticed that it takes much longer to break outof a low sugar episode. I do not care for that.
I know of people with LADA slow onset type 1 diabetes being placed on Ozempic by doctors and doing well on it but also know of a person whom got stomach paralysis a rare side effect even though she was placed on it for her type 2 diabetes but after this rare side effect got her taken off it.
Ozempic has really helped me I can randomly check my blood sugar and I have good numbers. I am losing weight also. I also take fiber to combat side effects but I do get heartburn. I have been eating a lot of cultured dairy like Greek Yogurt and Kefir.
I started with Ozempic after starting Jardiance. I lost a lot of weight. Loose stools was my side effect. Mounjaro came out with the extra agonist, GIP, so i switched over and as of now I've lost 86 pounds. A new me. My A1C is 5.4.All of this is made easier by using a Dexcom G6 then G7. I use time in tight range of 70 to 140. 180 is to high and is damaging to your body. Good for titr is 50% of the time. Regular time in range (70-180) is 70%. My tir is 95%. Male, T2, 71.
I have been on ozempic since feb 2024. No weight loss, medicos want to max me out on the dosage. Have had severe constipation, which i added metamucil to counter it with some success. More notable is that when i have a low (dexcom g7 lets me know earlier than the body) it takes longer to recover from it since the stomach does not pass the cards to the intestines where most of the glucose is absorbed, i tend to over treat the low, and it kicks the rollercoaster into high gear. Arrgh. I have had to reduce the insulin dosages a bit. About 10%.
Well, there has to be an explanation to a question that seems very valid to me. Is that weight loss with Ozempic primarily targeted at adipose tissue, or is there a significant loss of muscle mass as well? I believe there should be more accurate information available on this matter, showing how effective Ozempic is in reducing body fat without compromising muscle mass. Now, is it possible to continue the necessary exercises while undergoing treatment with this medication to prevent muscle loss? Especially considering that it affects appetite and therefore food intake, which, in my opinion, impacts the amount of nutrients consumed throughout the day, especially proteins, since this medication triggers an unpleasant reaction to the consumption of fats, and I'm not referring to unhealthy fats.
Yes, most often the studies reference body weight and not body fat. You can exercise (and are encouraged for the most part encouraged to do so) while taking Ozempic
I loved Ozempic and I hated Ozempic. When it's good, it's really good. I lost a lot of weight. At least 12 kilograms. I also dropped to two meals per day but also wanted to vomit when I drank too much water while exercising. A couple of months ago, I had my 2nd overreaction from Ozempic. I couldn't eat for a couple of days, everything that went down came back up again. I ended up vomiting my electrolytes and knew I had to go to the hospital. I wasn't struggling to breath but I needed to think about how I was breathing.. Before I went to hospital, I decided to pack some clothes but struggled to move in my apartment, collapsed onto the floor most of the time. I was seriously messed up. I still want to use Ozempic... but I know it's not a good thing. I'm having a toxic relationship with a medication.
Hi again, I have a question, if ozempic is causing weight loss, what's going to happen down the road, are people goin to just keep losing weight cuz that wouldn't be good either, especially if one has to stay on it to control their diabetes, not weight loss?...
I'm on Trulicjty 3mg it seems to be helping lower A1C but no weight loss, and that's ok. Lowering my A1C is most important. Just wondering if it works the same?
Simply put Ozempic works by reducing the desire to eat by increasing the time it takes for your stomach to empty. You know the old saying about feeling "full" after Thanksgiving dinner. Well that "full" feeling is the result of an excess of food in your stomach. The benefits of delaying stomach emptying are twofold when it comes to an overweight diabetic. First by reducing appetite and the resultant drop in food consumption it helps you lose weight. Second by slowing stomach emptying it also slows the effect that food consumed has on blood glucose increases. So that's the good news. Here's the bad. One of the most difficult complications of diabetes is a condition called gastroparesis which is the medical term for...drum roll please...delayed stomach emptying. There is currently no effective medical treatment for this disabling condition. It usually beings with bloating and a feeling of fullness but as the condition worsens it results in the very same symptoms mentioned in this video as Ozempic side effects: nausea and vomiting! And boy oh boy does it ever cause you to lose weight. In fact in some cases it leads to death. Years ago a woman in my diabetic support group suffered such severe side effects from gastropresis that she committed suicide. Can I say for sure that taking Ozempic may lead to a diabetic developing gastroparesis? No I can't. But can the company manufacturing it and profiting handsomely be trusted to tell you that's a possible side effect? No it can't...and even if it could it wouldn't.
Hello everyone. I don't feel that the weight loss is not worth the risk. My Type 2 diabetic friend who was on kidney dialysis took Ozempic. He died. I've since read that Ozempic can cause kidney problems, among other serious problems. Although Ozempic was not stated as the cause of death...why the doctor prescribed it to a person on kidney dialysis, knowing that it can cause kidney damage, I don't know. But I sincerely feel that Ozempic contributed, if not caused his death. If you don't have kidney disease, why risk it? If you have kidney disease, why risk it? Just stick with a low carb diet and get involved in some sort of activity or exercise if you want to lose weight. Slowly, but surely, you will lose weight....slowly, but surely, and "safely."
Here is the problem. Ozempic drug will not work for long term use. It's your lifestyle change that will do it. This drug will only work temporarily. It is not a permanent solution. That is why drug, exercise, and food don't work at all if you are using incorrectly.
It is a forever drug. That's why when you stop losing weight it is still good for type 2s. If you stop talking the medicine you will gain the weight back
@@buzzelectric6185 It is not a forever drug. Too many people make bad choices with foods and lifestyle! It is a plain cop out on this drug! You are making the drug company richer and you poorer!
Really not into ozempic. The weight gain I put on was from the insulin. My question is with A1C measurements. I know it’s a 30 day average but that’s my question. If say your blood sugar is 56 off and on and some days it goes to 256 the average may look good but is it? I’m thinking no. What do you think?
Stop using A1C it is outdated. Try to get to 70% time in range. Look into extra multiple daily injections to keep your highs down. Ask for help from a Diabetes Educator or an endocrinologist.
This is madness! Ozempec is not the answer. At any given point of time there should be only 4 grams of sugar (glucose) in our blood stream. But majority of people eat 150+ grams of carbohydrates per meal that is being converted to glucose. So on average people are consuming 37 teaspoons of sugar per meal. Then, they repeat it 2 more times. This is insane amount of sugar and this is how you gain weight and become diabetic. Remember, there supposed to be only 4 grams of sugar in blood stream at any given point of time. Every carbohydrate is converted to glucose inside our bodies. No exceptions. These are bread, rice, potatoes, pasta, spaghetti, pizza, starchy vegetables, beans, oatmeal and many more. To achieve the same results without ozempec and be healthy, eat animal proteins like meat & eggs, butter, fish, seafood. Some cooked vegetables are acceptable in small quantities.
I feel like there are better more healthier ways if a person is truly serious about losing weight that are side affect free. If this drug is to treat diabetes i feel that those are the ones that should be prescribed the neccessary drug. Some of the side affects are truly alarming it wouldnt be worth the risk for me and as you stated in the video you still have to change your diet otherwise its pointless. There is no miracle drug to lose weight it takes focus, hard work and dediction this is just another way for big pharma to make money you never hear them promoting good healthy l;iving choices

Then, they repeat it 2 more times. This is insane amount of sugar and this is how you gain weight and become diabetic. Remember, there supposed to be only 4 grams of sugar in blood stream at any given point of time. Every carbohydrate is converted to glucose inside our bodies. No exceptions. These are bread, rice, potatoes, pasta, spaghetti, pizza, starchy vegetables, beans, oatmeal and many more. To achieve the same results without ozempec and be healthy, eat animal proteins like meat & eggs, butter, fish, seafood. Some cooked vegetables are acceptable in small quantities.
Try Jardiance or Brenzavvy. They will lower the sugar in you. It pees it out.
No. But it might give you thyroid cancer!
Ozempic made me so sick I had to stop taking it.
😕 that’s too bad. Thank you for sharing
I feel like there are better more healthier ways if a person is truly serious about losing weight that are side affect free. If this drug is to treat diabetes i feel that those are the ones that should be prescribed the neccessary drug. Some of the side affects are truly alarming it wouldnt be worth the risk for me and as you stated in the video you still have to change your diet otherwise its pointless. There is no miracle drug to lose weight it takes focus, hard work and dediction this is just another way for big pharma to make money you never hear them promoting good healthy l;iving choices
Ozempic can destroy your Life
