I had surgery in 2006. I kept the weight off, through some hard work, I also have Diabetes 2. About 1-1/2 years ago my doctor put me on Ozempic, because I couldn’t tolerate Metformin anymore. I am on a low dosage of .5 to control my Diabetes. Initially I lost 25 pounds, but, I have stayed at the same weight since. I understand people without Diabetes tend to lose at a faster rate then Diabetics. I’m happy where I am. I’ll need Ozempic for the rest of my life to control my blood sugars. I really don’t have any side effects. Again, I’m sure my body tolerates the drug in a different way than non-diabetics.

I am a type II diabetic taking Ozempic (2 units). My blood sugar control has improved but I am experiencing GI symptoms. I am glad that you are tolerating Ozempic well.
