Wicked good video! I am considered morbidly obese and started Ozempic, today and was wondering what to expect. Thanks.

It’s also given to type 1 who have a hard time with blood sugar who have carb resistance and who also need to lose weight you need an endocrinologist to watch your blood sugars and it’s used with insulin
-
Thank you much! The info is great but I missed some info because you speak too fast for me….Any way you can slow down a bit so I can fully understand your precious info!

I was told it takes a longer time to work on my blood sugar levels . Anyone using it & how did it work for you .

I had to go back on metformin after two weeks of ozempic. My sugar rose from 126 to 196 after 2 weeks. I just raised the dose to .5ml today my 3rd week since I tolerated it fine & stopped metformin again. I will see in the next few days if it starts working with a higher dose. I don't like metformin it's hard on my kidneys.

Perso on Mounjaro and weight loss aside, BS has been under 100 for months and last A1C from 6 to 5.3; GLP-1 is a must have for diabetes, obesity and difficulty to control food noise.

Ozempic wrecked my stomach the first two weeks I was on it but now it's helping quite a bit with curbing my appetite. I've been diagnosed with lymphocytic colitis and celiac disease and it seems to have helped with those symptoms as well. (I assume due to slowing digestion)

Increasing insulin does not work for Type 2 diabetics, because the problem in type 2 diabetics is resistance to insulin. Semaglutide works by reducing gastic motility and making people feel full

My fasting glucose is my main concern. Levels spoke in the morning. I’ve tried various diabetic medications and my levels are not coming down. I’ve tried all sorts of eating plans low, carb, high carb ,no carb , low fat ,high fat ,no fat ,plant base, carnivore, protein shakes, smoothie detoxes. I’ve been walking almost daily. It muscle nd flat feet hurts . Now been swimming nd doing a bit of aqua exercises. Nothing brought diabetes down to normal as yet. I cannot use the glucophage medications due to permanent diarrhea/ IBS. I have been diagnosed with fatty liver, diabetes, fibromyalgia and I’ve gained 40kgs since these diagnosis. Doctor said to try ozempic and medical has approved it but there’s a shortage of the meds so difficult to obtain it. Not giving up on eating healthy nd exercising but it’s frustrating not seeing the sugar levels and scale moving down. It’s easy to say make a lifestyle change but for me I’m still trying to find the right lifestyle to change to…

I live in ‘Australia and have started taking it for Diabetes type 2 and it costs 30 per pen.

I'm taking ozempic for 8 months now I lost 12kg and my blood sugar morning test before eating is normal and in Europe I pay EU 164 I'm at 1mg and rarely any symptoms

Dr. Richardson, how do you feel about diabetics getting run over by rich people, who want to lose weight and can pay full price for these drugs, that are making them not available for diabetics that the drugs were developed for, and that the drugs are a crucial part of our therapy who can no longer get them because of shortages? I would love to see at least one or two of the many YouTube doctors who are talking about these drugs, and spinning up the demand for them, talk a bit about all the off label prescribing that is making diabetics have to chase these drugs from pharmacy to pharmacy, and frequently change dosages or completely change drugs or go completely without any because people are getting these drugs that should not. There is only one of these meds that is approved for weight loss.

Sir, please pay attention to as how you speak. Your voice is dropping on the end of every sentence to the point, that is not heard. However, your short description of Ozempic and it's effects is excellent and very helpful. I'm on the medication for past 8 months with an excellent results and no apparent side effects. I'm actually geting very healthy. Thank you for your information.
