For Diabetes, Type 2 "After being on Ozempic for 3 weeks, I do not believe it is the right medication for me. I have a history of slow digestion issues which I did not fully realize before I started taking Ozempic. The medication made that worse. I am experiencing constant mild to moderate nausea, sometimes accompanied by excessive gas and abdominal pain. I believe I am at a point where this will be the norm if I continue to take it. I have noticed my blood sugar going down, but I have been able to control it through diet and a bit of exercise in the past. So I am unsure if because I can't eat as much because of Ozempic or whether I'm just eating smarter. I am going to stop taking it and try to take what I've learned about eating habits and apply them without Ozempic."

For Diabetes, Type 2 "Start it off with the 0.5 dose. Immediately started having dry mouth. It was a terrible experience and lasted about 3 weeks. I started using Biotene and it helped to lessen my dry mouth to some degree. After the first two weeks, I would only have a bowel movement twice per week. I lost about 8% of my body weight in the first month. I started monitoring my weight loss to keep it down to about 1 1/2 pounds per week. Weight loss has been steady the last 2 months. I have abdominal cramps during the first day after my shot, but after that, no real problem if I stay away from fatty foods. What I would like to raise caution about is if you're on any type of blood pressure medicine, I found myself becoming dizzy upon standing. It took a few weeks for me to realize that Ozempic was the cause. I was able to adjust my blood pressure medicine and my blood pressure has stabilized. I would recommend Ozempic for type 2 diabetes, but not just for weight loss."

For Diabetes, Type 2 "My doctor prescribed it as a miracle drug, bought 0,25mg kit. My doctor gave me instructions but I found better instructions on you-tube, so the next day I was ready with all that info. I cooked a light soup no carbs no fat etc, I drank water ,washed my hands cleaned my belly and did the shot. All was OK after a few hours abdominal pain, my eyes started to itch then blurry vision. I went crazy, what happened to me, went to bed then the nausea came with a headache. The next days I was sick did not go away, so I phoned my doctor she said its all in my mind and I will get used to it. Now I am afraid for the second injection, is it worth it? Why pay for a expensive drug to get sick? The only positive was that it lowered my morning blood sugar from 100~110 to 88. I take twice a day 1000mg metformin **for others do not use it for first time and go to work, good to do it when you do not have work the next day"
