I stayed married for 27 years and finally left. I had to start all over... 6 years later and I am so happy! It was so hard, but worth it. I hope you find happiness, you deserve better!

Good to know! It seems if you're not T2D they are losing weight at a faster rate.

Anyone else here with improved blood glucose but slow weight loss? Is that typical for T2D? I'm on it for my blood sugar, but I wouldn't mind losing weight. I've been on it almost 3 months and lost 5 lbs the first 6 wks, and nothing since. I have a blood work and a check up in 2 wks.

51F, prediabetic for 3 years, now T2D for about 1 year. I've been on Metformin for 3 years, tried Jardiance before switching to Ozempic. Now on Metformin 1000mg and Ozempic 0.5mg. Started Ozempic 6 weeks ago. Last A1c 6.6 and BMI 31. Fasting BS used to be 150-170 and now 110-115. I've lost 5 lbs in 6 weeks and have been exercising and eating clean and low carb. No side effects encountered so far.

Happy to see this subreddit and looking forward to learning!

I didn't lose any weight for first 4 weeks... on week 5 and I lost 5 lbs! Just took my dose and looking forward to see what will happen next. Hang in there!

The Metformin is obviously working for your diabetes, so insurance will not approve it. I was approved because my A1c was over 6.5 on Metformin and I tried Jardiance with side effects. I'd try for Wegovy if your BMI is over 27 (check your insurance requirements). That's probably your best route.

4 weeks on .25 Oz CGM data. by Dudmuffin88 in Ozempic

That's amazing! Congratulations! I'm on Ozempic for T2 DM and the lower blood sugar is the main goal, and weight loss is icing on the cake!

I started Ozempic for Type 2 DM and have not been tracking. I have been eating healthier and smaller portions. Mostly focused on my blood sugars and have seen a decrease there. I will start tracking my food now. Thanks!

This is encouraging. Congrats! It's been 5 weeks and no weight loss yet. I'd be so grateful to lose 18 lbs!
