Im saying it aint right. I have been asking every way I know how and no one will tell me exactly how this stuff works on the back side. There has to be a trade off.
````````````````````````````
The trade off for me is that it works too well. It comes in 3 different dose sizes and I am on the medium sized one, probably switch to the smaller size after my next doc. visit in 2 more days.
I’m not over weight and never have been, I take it for my type two but am losing weight anyway, for the very reasons you stated, appetite loss, close to total. I keep a very close watch on my glucose number with my arm patch and electronic reader and let me tell you a reading in the 40s and 50s is very uncomfortable and it gets that low when I have to force myself to eat when I’m not the slightest bit hungry.
Just checked this minute and it’s at 73 and falling and I’m not the tiniest bit hungry. It might sound like a high class or envious problem to over weight folks but believe me, it’s not.
I guess we can set around all day, eat bon-bons covered in Fruit-Loops and loose weight and have controlled blood sugars!!
See? Way to friggen easy!
likely trade off is losing muscle, bone, things other than excess real fat.
I did all the stupid diets in 80s 90s all starve the body one way or other and this drug is doing the same. Creating imbalances and in soon enough time, oh my, now we got all these thinner people suffering new ailments.
the Holy Spirit gives self control as one of the gifts, if any one cares to believe in Jesus and invite in The Spirit.
NYC liberal women. They have their priorities, don’t they?
Medicare is paying all but $250 of another drug of the same class, Mounjaro, for me. The pharmacist told me that insurance companies are beginning to refuse to pay for these drugs because they are so expensive, but that Medicare part D plans, so far, are still paying.
No, you can’t just eat however you want. It works because you don’t get hungry enough to eat much.
On many of these gold mine drugs for Big Pharma, they will do and advertise heavily, the $5 per month or cheap numbers to all but the medicare customers.
Thanks to Congress critters, back the 1970’s the passed a law that outlaws any deals for seniors on drugs on medicare.
So doctor please, outside the door...
you can bet they could mass produce a lot more, but then the price would drop.
I wonder if they are aware what a proper diet and exercise can do? But that would take too much time away from their social activities and limit what they could put into their mouth’s.
“The wife has knee pain issues. They want to do replacement surgery. Yet, no proposal to help her lose weight. Is this Ozempic thing an option or not now?”
For sure weight loss can help knee problems. If this were me, I would try Ozempic first.
Also prolotherapy can help heal knee ligaments and cartilage. I have gotten this in previous years....... https://www.bing.com/search?q=prolotherapy&PC=U316&FORM=CHROMN

Is there an almost as good as generic or alternate to Ozempic ?
Look up the herb Berberine. It is touted as being close to Ozenpic.
