I need to lose weight myself but I’m leery of these types of products

I had one that I wound up not using

If I get sick, I lose weight really well by not eating - ouch 🤕🤕

Just don’t eat carbs or sugar and you’ll lose it. Lazy.

She should have taken Balance of Nature...at least it doesn’t do anything. Now banned...but the damned ads keep running. Those idiots who swear they’ll take it til they die are going to face the choice of not taking them or dying early.

My next door neighbor was looking rather poorly and was acting like she was very unwell.

She had been taking Ozempic and it caused her blood pressure to go dangerously high. She went to the hospital several times.

She discontinued use and now she is fine.

She looked good for a 56-year-old.

All she needed was to go on a diet and a fitness plan if she wanted to get skinny. But that requires work. And time.

Our granddaughter who’s an RN was talking about this last night. Her dad has full- blown diabetes and uses it and she was talking about people using this for other than what it was intended and this lady is an example of it.......so sad

Semaglutide is approved by the FDA for use alongside modified diet and exercise to help lower blood sugar and reduce risk of cardiac events in patients with type 2 diabetes, but it has also become a trendy weight-loss drug.

I remember when Speed was the trendy weight loss drug. People swore by it.

It seems possible that her blood sugars...her A1C....was lowered to a dangerous level.

I am on Ozempic myself for type 2 diabetes. lost 30 pounds in 9 months. first dosage had me doing projectile vomit because I accidentally took a double dosage. I am betting she played the game of multiple doctors prescribing the same medication. thinking if she took more, she would lose more weight. for me Ozempic has been a godsend because I am bad at taking My diabetes meds every day. with Ozempic it just a shot once a week. I am sure there is risks associated with Ozempic. I except that risk gladly.

My wife (a type 1, insulin dependent diabetic) has been using Ozempic this year. Depending on dose, it has resulted in diarrhea or constipation. When her blood sugar starts dropping (she uses a Tandem TSlim2 pump and DexCom6 CGM), she needs to put some carbs in to offset the drop. The pump logic will shut off insulin delivery, but you can still have too much "onboard". The oral glucose may end up sitting in her stomach with a delayed "dump" due to the Ozempic. There is a real possibility of a dangerous blood glucose low.

In addition to the diabetes, my wife has had some hearing loss in one ear and significant tinnitus after starting Ozempic. She has decided to stop Ozempic to see if the tinnitus subsides. The hearing loss is going to take addition evaluation by and ENT MD to assess if the problem is treatable. The decision to discontinue to Ozempic is also driven by her pending retirement. Ozempic coverage would really drive up her premiums.

This just clickbait, the article says she wasn't even taking Ozempic at the time, she'd switched to another medicine. It doesn't say how long she'd been off of it.

Ozempic has been out for a long time and has proven to be a very safe drug, Tylenol no doubt harms a lot more.

For all those rubbing their hands at the thought that the drugmaker is going to get sued into oblivion by her family (for a drug she wasn't even taking), this is Australia, they don't go in for the jackpot justice stuff like we do in the U.S. Even if Ozempic had something to do with it they wouldn't get anywhere suing.
