For Type 2 Diabetes "Type II diabetic with kidney disease. Been on Ozempic 18 weeks, and at 2.0 for 4 weeks. I felt great at 1.0, but not at 2.0. Lethargy and headaches non-stop now. Will see Dr. to go back to 1.0 after blood work. Good news: A1C went from 7.3 to 6.5. Glucose now close to normal range. Previously was between 260-335. Kidney function increased from 30-37. Lost 44 lbs. I am 62 and on disability."

For Type 2 Diabetes "This is week 1, and I’m already feeling the side effects: headaches, diarrhea, stomach ache, burping frequently that smells like rotten eggs. I get nauseous and gassy. I don’t have an appetite for food. I just started this medication, but I like its cleaning out my digestive system. I am reaching out to my healthcare provider to see what I can take to help eliminate the burping."

"I was astonished by how quickly my appetite vanished, and it has not returned. My weight is steadily dropping because I only need one meal a day. My side effects are 1. I find myself a little headachey, nothing too severe. 2. I have a constant dry mouth. That is a bit annoying. 3. My sleep patterns are affected. Also annoying. 4. Energy levels are down. 5. My desire for alcohol is way down. That's a good thing. I'm only 2 weeks into it, but getting this hunger monkey off my back is extraordinary. I would never have thought it possible. My first meal of the day is brunch, and then that's it, I don't have any further desire for food for the day and don't even think about it."

"I'm on week 5 in a few days. Started at 0.25 cc inj. Mild nausea and headaches. 5' 10'', 186 initial weight. I'm 40 lbs overweight. I tried to eat right and exercise, but the weight was not budging. Just going up, and I'm very active outside. Today I'm down 10 pounds, it's a slow process for me, it seems. Very little appetite, and you can't eat much at one time or you feel terrible, bloated, nauseated, headaches... but I'm determined to drop another 30 lbs. I'm just surprised at how little I eat for a portion and am completely full... and still the weight clings on. I could not do it without this drug."
