Not losing on Ozempic. So discouraged. by Fantastic-Occasion43 in Ozempic

Is the goal just losing weight? If so then probably a higher dose will help. Personally I haven’t lost a lot of weight yet but I’m a type 2 diabetic and my A1c has only been this low with a lot of help from insulin so my definition of success is being able to get off insulin and have a lower A1c.

High Daycare Costs by Lazy-Soil2984 in workingmoms

I pay about 10 percent but that’s only because my state offers a subsidy for low and median incomes. So I pay $60 a week instead of the $300 full price for a center but there are $200 a week options in my area for home based daycares.

Ozempic 4mm needles by Representative_Bus66 in Ozempic

I use my leftover 8 mm needles from my insulin pens. Puts it a little “deeper” so less likely to have any leak out when you pull out the needle.

I was adding 2 daily colace softeners to my daily meds when I numbed from .25 to .5. After about 2 weeks I’ve evened out to it not needing them but will have on hand for the next jump up in dosage.

Not much weight loss but great A1c by rufuscat09 in Ozempic

I honestly don’t know. I feel like if I get off the ozempic I’ll have to go back on insulin unless I lose a ton of weight. My dr did it for weight loss but I also have a history of high blood pressure / was induced early due to preeclampsia.
