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.

Justin,
Sorry to hear about your previous medical issues, but I'm glad to hear you're doing much better now. Amazing your A1c has dropped so low. Anything above 5.7 is considered high. How is your blood sugar levels now? Congrats on your improvement and I wish you continued success and a healthy life!
