If you started a glp-1 how fast did your numbers change?
I started Ozempic on Tuesday night. Last night my overnight numbers were fluctuating like they always do, but in a range that is 30 or so points below what I have typically seen over the past month.
But I also changed my Stelo last night. I heard you can get inaccurate readings with a new sensor.
Could I see results that fast? I thought the first month at the tiny dose was just to get your body used to it.

Yes, it is hard to say if you will get 20 or 30 from the starting dose. You started from a very high baseline of 150. As the dose increases over the next couple of months your numbers will get better if you get a good response at .25mg.
My A1c went from 8.0 to 5.7 in 3 months, 5.4 at 6, and 4.9 now (16 months). Weight loss: 3% at 1 month, 10% at 3, 15% at 6, and 20% now at 16 months.
The weight loss has a synergistic effect on the A1c numbers.

I find the GLP1 really useful on keeping my appetite lower. It has really stabilized my diabetes at a livable level. I’ve lost about 35 pounds over the past three years. You still have to focus on your diet but it takes the urgency off eating (thankfully)
