Been on Ozempic since late last summer (now on .50 dose). Had a very had time with side effects for a very long time in the beginning, diarrhea mostly, and some nausea, was ready to give it up, but finally, after all this time doing better. I learned certain foods were triggers for the side effects.
When I started, my A1C had always been just a skosh under diabetic level. I was pre-diabetic for years. Now, my last A1C was down to 5.4.
Before Ozempic, my weight had ballooned up to 268 (5 foot 5 inches). My weight has since gone down to as low as 242, but has fluctuated between that and 250.
