For Type 2 Diabetes "Had my third spinal operation in December 2018, a multi-level fusion. Doctors wanted me to lose weight, and because I couldn’t exercise, I was prescribed Ozempic. I had previously been on Victoza, which was awful, with terrible hypoglycemia and little weight loss. Ozempic has allowed me to totally control my food cravings and intake. I lost 40 lbs in under 6 months doing little or no exercise and eating way less without feeling hungry. I have had almost no side effects, besides fleeting nausea maybe once every second day. Really works for me, however, I’m now on it 7 months, and I’m finding the 1 mg dose is not as effective as it once was."

For Type 2 Diabetes "I have been using for 10 months proximately (0.5 mg). It has steadied glucose with less insulin (Lantus), and I have lost about 25 lb (started at 302 lb). I would like a higher dosage to help with the weight issue, as it's been very helpful with appetite reduction. The doctor has not raised it for fear of hypoglycemia issues. I've had no real side effects beyond occasional nausea and constipation. Slower movement through the gastrointestinal system gives me a rather hard-packed stool. I have consistently had flatulence since week one."
