Ozempic (semaglutide) for Diabetes, Type 2 "I was scared to try Ozempic for my uncontrollable diabetes. I decided it was time to try it along with my usual metformin, and boy am I glad I did. I started Ozempic 10 months ago at 0.25 and moved to 0.50, and have stayed there because it’s exactly the dose I need for my blood sugar. My blood sugar runs between 89-150. My A1c dropped from 12.8 to 6.5 within 4 months of starting Ozempic. The only side effect I ever got is a little constipation. I adjusted my diet as well, and I walk 2 miles a day, 5 days a week. I’ve dropped 18 pounds. Ozempic is great for uncontrollable diabetes."

Ozempic (semaglutide) for Diabetes, Type 2 "In the beginning of being on the 0.25 dose, I tried to still eat the way I normally would. I had horrible nausea, GI issues, and feeling the food sit in the stomach. Went to 0.5, and I learned very quickly you can no longer eat the crap anymore that put you in this position in the first place. My appetite has decreased immensely, I eat much smaller meals and bites. Once I did what Ozempic wants you to do, it’s been a game changer. I also chew my food longer. After talking to many people that are on it, my conclusion is, if you don’t change the way you eat, you will suffer the worst of the side effects. Wish I started this a long time ago."

Rybelsus (semaglutide) for Diabetes, Type 2 "I’ve been on Rybelsus for T2 (diagnosed Dec 23) since January 2024. I’m now on week one of 14mg. I’ve barely experienced any side effects. Tired the first few days after upping the dose, but other than that, very minimal. I did eat a sub sandwich, and the carbs gave me a stomach ache. I also have IBS, and since starting, my symptoms have reduced there. I’m also on Metformin 500mg and have lost 6lbs without dieting and minimal exercise (I’m in grad school and am insanely busy). Absolutely recommend trying Rybelsus to see if it works for you. I go back in May to check my a1c; doctor is confident it will be down!"

Wegovy (semaglutide) for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I am a veteran and had to be put on by endocrine dr. in the weight loss clinic. My starting weight was 230 @ 5’1. I wasn’t a candidate for weight loss surgery due to clotting issues. I started on Saxenda and rapidly lost like 20 lbs., but gained it all back. That whole process was like 3-4 months. My endo expected and expects it with the Wegovy. Wegovy: starting weight 230 have been on for idk maybe 8 months. I’m 165. My goal is 140. I had a follow-up with endo today. He said I’ve lost more than any other of his patients on Wegovy and he’s had patients on it for 2+ years. I also haven’t done any exercise except walking my dog every day for 15-60 mins. Side effects? I already had gastroparesis. So I’m used to horrible nausea, but I have it still. Maybe be worse from it. Nothing else."

Rybelsus (semaglutide) for Diabetes, Type 2 "I am on 3 mg dosage. My A1C went from 7.9 to 6.5 with no spikes in blood sugar. I went from 202 lbs to 184. So far no adverse side effects."

Ozempic (semaglutide) for Diabetes, Type 2 "It has been very helpful in my weight loss journey which began due to a diagnosis of diabetes. My A1C has also decreased, which is wonderful. My appetite is very small leading to not being able to eat much. I started on 0.25 mg/week, then increased to 0.5 mg/week. I am now taking 1 mg/week. I did attempt to switch to Wegovy for increased dose, but insurance would not cover. I feel it is very easy to use."

Ozempic (semaglutide) for Diabetes, Type 2 "Easy to use right from the beginning. I'm a type 2 diabetic and it has helped to stabilize my blood sugars. I did the 0.25 --> 0.50 regimen and it was easy to follow. I have had zero side effects ever taking the drug and it has reduced my cravings by a lot. I was surprised after about 4 weeks in that I just didn't want to eat as much as I had in the past. It was a strange feeling that at a meal I just didn't 'want' any more without feeling bloated. Portion sizes that I used to eat easily just were too much to eat."

Ozempic (semaglutide) for Diabetes, Type 2 "So far very positive except for today. I experienced diarrhea and vomiting all at once. About 15 minutes after this began, I felt completely better. I just hope it was a one-time occurrence. I’ve been on Ozempic for many months, and this was my first episode. On the other hand, my A1c is below 7, my daily glucose tests are way down, and I have lost over 20 pounds, perhaps more. My dose is 1mg per week with an easy-to-administer shot. But the bottom line is you must work with the drug. You won’t be hungry, but that never stopped people like us from eating anyway. Listen to your body. If you are not hungry, don’t eat!"

Ozempic (semaglutide) "I have been on Ozempic for a year for weight loss. I started at 433, yikes, not proud of that weight. I'm down to 360 and feel so much better. My blood sugar is normal, and I'm feeling great. My dose is 1 mg. Going to try and see what 2 mg does. My side effects were mild at best."

For Diabetes, Type 2 "I absolutely love taking semaglutide. I have now come off my metformin and I was told today to cut back on my blood pressure medication. I have lost 52 pounds as of right now and I have been taking semaglutide for 3 months now. I have had no issues with taking it. I can't wait to see what the end results."

Ozempic (semaglutide) for Cardiovascular Risk Reduction "I also have type 2 diabetes and take Jardiance. I was very unsure if I wanted to take this drug or not because of all the possible side effects. I have been on it now for over a month and have been very lucky that the side effects have been minimal. For the first couple of weeks, I had a little fatigue, mild headache, and a little constipation, but taking magnesium nightly has helped with that. As long as I eat healthy and small portions, all is great. My brain is no longer obsessed with eating, and worrying about what my next unhealthy snack is going to be. All my sugar cravings are gone, and blood sugars are at a 5. In the last 5 weeks, I have lost 13 lbs. I started at 0.25mg and am now at 0.5mg. I do the injection in my stomach, as it is totally painless there. It is not covered by my insurance and is on the pricey side, $266.00 Canadian, every six weeks, but it works for me, so I will continue taking it."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I lost 45-50 lbs. But experienced numerous GI side effects. Constipation, abdominal cramping, nausea, vomiting, then diarrhea. Also curbed my desire for alcohol. Still had cravings for sweets, unfortunately. Had to do several dosage adjustments due to GI side effects."

Rybelsus (semaglutide) for Diabetes, Type 2 "I was on it for 3 months and it was working well. Problem is, they need to take it off the weight loss list because Medicaid won't cover it and my prescription has been denied twice because of that. Medicaid says it does cover it if you have type 2 diabetes, which I have, but because it is also on the weight loss drug list they won't cover it even when I show proof that I have Diabetes."

Ozempic (semaglutide) for Diabetes, Type 2 "I'm 64. The older you are, it's hard to 1. Get control of type 2 diabetes. 2. Lose weight. 3. 9 years ago, I had a stroke. This medicine helps me with all these factors. Thank you!!!"

Ozempic (semaglutide) for Diabetes, Type 2 "I've been on Ozempic since last March. No side effects to speak of other than tiredness. But at 75 years old, I think tiredness is common in most people. I have lost 37 lbs. since starting Ozempic. I feel good and look better. My glucose readings are very good and stable. I have type 2 diabetes. I would advise anyone to try it, especially if they are diabetic. It is easy to use and there is no pain with the needle."

Wegovy (semaglutide) for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "My goal at the start was to lose 2 stone. I started with the 0.25 dose on 20 December. Negligible side effects - very minor nausea, that's all. Already lost a stone between 20 December - 20 January. That is despite the Christmas season. On the first few days after injection, I almost can't look at food or wine, and really only eat to survive. Not at all possible to even contemplate drinking wine or beer. This wanes towards the 5th or 6th day after injection. I'm now on the 1.0 dose and will probably stay on this for a couple more months as I'm close to my end goal - can't believe how effective Wegovy has been. The challenge will be maintaining the weight loss after Wegovy, as I don't intend to be on this for the rest of my life. What's worked for me: I keep active and walk a few miles a few times a week, drink lots of water, aim to eat in small amounts throughout the day rather than two or three large meals, eat lots of vegetables and nuts rather than heavy meals."

Wegovy (semaglutide) for Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I found Wegovy to be the best weight loss method for me! I lost all the weight I had gained back after my bariatric sleeve procedure and kept it off until I stopped taking the medication. Now, the weight is starting to creep back up because I don't feel full as fast."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "Lost 28 pounds in 4 months. Weight loss could have been higher; however, I tried to manage it so I wouldn’t lose muscle mass as I am active in my exercise routine. This definitely should be offered as a weight loss medicine. Most importantly, it also helped me reduce my alcohol consumption by 70% — from being an uncontrollable weekend drinker to very minimal intake in a social setting, even though that wasn't the intended target."

Ozempic (semaglutide) for Diabetes, Type 2 "I have been taking Ozempic for four months. Initially, I had a headache for several hours after each injection, but that stopped after a few weeks. I can't eat many carbs or I will get nauseous, so I am having to change eating habits which is good for my long-term health. My A1C has dropped almost a whole point (from 6.8 to 5.9) which is awesome. In addition, I have lost about a pound a week, so I am down 15 pounds at this point without exercise. (I want to exercise but haven't been able to due to a knee injury). Probably the best part of this medicine is that I am not hungry all the time like I was for so many years. I can eat normal or even small portions for the first time and even skip meals sometimes. People don't understand what it is like to be hungry from the time you wake up to the time you go to bed (and even wake up hungry during the night). This medicine has been life-changing for me. I am finally able to eat like a normal person."

Ozempic (semaglutide) for Diabetes, Type 2 "It is rough, but if you follow the doctor's suggestions, read the Ozempic site, you will do well. I have. I have lost a lot of weight and, along with my dietician and endo, I did well. I revamped my diet, incorporated exercise, so when I do lose the weight with Ozempic and go off of it, I can maintain."
