I am on Ozempic and it’s been a bit of a miracle drug for me.

I’ve fought cancer twice, after a long chemotherapy treatment in my first battle in 2010 I was able to suppress the cancer. What I found out later is that chemo therapy can bring out latent genes and cause genetic issues to surface. Over the next year I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and asthma, both issues my mother has fought most her life. I have never had weight issues and was a pretty athletic kid. So I tend to be the skinniest diabetic new doctors have seen. They always think I have type 1 until I clear it up.

Anyways, it has been really difficult to control and jumps all over the place no matter what I tried. After having blood sugar jumps regularly into the high 300s or even 400 and an a1c over 11, the doctor put me on Ozempic. He has me on a high protein diet and other supplements because of my low body weight and that I shouldn’t be losing mass. I have still lost about 15 pounds, however my blood readings are consistently in the normal range and my a1c has dropped to 4.6 within only six months.

Ozempic may be the best thing I have ever tried and I couldn’t recommend it more.
