My Endo just started me on Ozempic. I’m a type 2, 42 years old and I’ve been in the low 7s for my A1C for the last 6 months with using metformin, Jardinace, glipizide, and moderate exercise and diet changes. I am about 30 pounds over weight as well and have been having a horrible time losing any weight at all.
Anyway, I’m starting at a 0.25mg dose for four weeks then moving to the therapeutic dose of 0.5mg after, and even now while starting the 0.25mg dose, I really have no desire to eat. It’s like a switch was flipped. Before, I was thinking about what to eat next constantly, was basically food fixated, and now I couldn’t care less. Maybe it’s partly a placebo effect, but hopefully not.
Anyway, just wanted to share my starting experiences with Ozempic. I’ll come back and update as I go along with this medication. Thanks for reading!

Haven’t started anything and this was great to read. Thank-you.
I’m going for something similar. MH issues have me regularly with my head shoved where the sun don’t shine which is really bloody annoying and have lead to a slow but steady weight increase combined with T2.
Is there a programme so that you’re not on it for the rest of your natural?
