Anyone on Ozempic for Type II Diabetes?

[4815162342]

I have had type II for several years, and even with oral medication (glucophage, farxiga, etc) my A1C still steadily climbed. My doctor begged me to start Ozempic, and I refused until about 6 months ago. Since starting Ozempic in February, my A1C has dropped from 8.9 to 6.5. It’s one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Wow! That's great! Congrats! I've been on Metformin for the past 4 years. While taking it, I was eating like I know I shouldn't have. I'm Italian, so Italian foods and breads are my go to foods. Love pasta!

I was at the point where I knew I needed to get serious, hence Ozempic. On it one week. Was 217, now 210. Haven't cheated one time. No cravings. So that part of it is good.

Thanks for sharing your personal journey! Motivates me more!
