@bimbra Ozempic is really popular right now and getting a lot of advertising attention. If you’ve seen these commercials there is usually a warning that “ if taken with insulin or other blah blah medications there is a risk of low blood sugar …..” Not an actual direct quote, but something like that. I also use an Omnipod 5 which uses a fast acting insulin. I would inquire of your provider who prescribes your Omnipod 5 about taking Ozempic. You for sure don’t want to increase your risk of low blood sugar episodes. If taking Ozempic is ok’d for you, you will need a prescription for it anyways. Why are you interested in taking Ozempic, if I may ask?

I am 100% vegetarian and don't have eggs or fish in my diet.
My body profile is typical of a pear shape and trying to see if this growth can be stopped and possibly reduced.
