Ozempic injection: how to use | The Hangry Woman

Welcome to my diabetes channel! Today we're going through how to use your Ozempic Injection.

Semaglutide, sold under the brand names Ozempic and Rybelsus, is an anti-diabetic medication used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (and for some people like me with Type 1.5). Ozempic acts like human glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) so that it increases insulin secretion, thereby increasing sugar metabolism.

Personally, I've been thrilled with my results on Ozempic. It's my second week, and I haven't had any nausea, vomiting, or stomach aches.

My blood sugars are doing well, and are much lower than they've ever been, and I lost 4 pounds in a week. The weight loss with ozempic is insane - do you know how many hours a week I workout, and how hard it has been to lose weight? I have found that I'm just not that hungry on Ozempic.

Hopefully this video helps you be less afraid of injections. It doesn't hurt at all, and it's easy to do once per week.

Did my first shot today and I was watching this while doing it because I didn’t wanna feel like I was alone. Thanks for this!

[timewilltell]

Just did my first shot today. Couldn't believe how easy and pain-free it was. My main concern was that it was more of the regular diabetic needle, not the pen. Don't be afraid, there is nothing to it except remembering to TAKE it the same day every week. Best to all new Ozempic users!

As someone who just got prescribed Ozempic this video is helpful. Thank you!

[memebutler]

I'm prediabetic as well. I just got mine today. I am going starting tomorrow 😊 I'm a lil nervous because this will be my first time to use it. But please pray for me it's a start for me I'm so excited for my weight loss wishing me for the best 🙏

I’ve been on Ozempic for 11 months and I have lost just over 43lbs, I have under active thyroid and weighed 271lbs before I started it, it’s fantastic, I have never been able to lose weight continuously with zero plateau, at the beginning I was using a recumbent bike every single day and using hand weights whilst cycling but I stopped that around March or April and im still losing about a pound a week doing nothing, I definitely eat way less as this medication changed me completely how I was always hungry and was snacking, I literally just eat when im hungry now and I think that is the key, I a, more mindful of what I eat and I try to eat more fruit and veggies, previously when I have joined the gym on multiple occasions I lost around 15 pounds working out like a dog religiously 3 times a week but Ozempic has changed my life. It’s very strange to me that I don’t feel hungry all the time, I just don’t need to be eating as much as before, my appetite is simply eat when necessary, I do believe my stomach has shrunk considerably and losing over 40lbs for me has been fantastic, I want to lose way more bc I’d be happy at a size 16 or around 160 pounds and im currently 225lbs I haven’t weighed this low since 1999, the weight has slowly been creeping up on my constantly and it was getting to the point that every time I went to the Drs and was weighed I was consistently weighing 3-6 pounds more every time.
I have way more energy and can put my socks and union without feeling like a weeble about to fall down, lol. Initially I was a little nauseous most of the time but it was manageable and bowl issues were not dramatic except around the 3rd month mark I had severe constipation but one that went away I no longer felt nauseous and haven’t had any side effects since, I am so grateful for this medication but I am concerned about the fact that pancreatic cancer can be a rare side effect, I had breast cancer in 2004 and had 2 surgeries, chemo and radiation followed by breast augmentation, so I really pray that that won’t happen to me. I still like sweet things but I try hard to limit it. I was monitoring everything I consumes through a fitness app but it was so time consuming, I gave that up too. Anyway it has been awesome for me and I hope I can’t be on it for another 6 months or another year as I am worried to come off it and get all the cravings again.
Good luck everyone.

One week after using Ozempic, it was my turn to do by myself. It wasn’t working. I went into the doctor’s office. As I was waiting to be seen on how to use it, I YouTube it, landed on you and glad that I did. I went into the restroom, injected myself and left. Thank you. Saved me time and money.

I have been on this diet called HMR and I started Ozempic 3 months ago. I have lost 42 pounds because of the Ozempic and dieting, My A1C went from 9.2 to 7.0 The first 2 months I had a lot of nausea and lightheadedness and now I can't even tell I'm on it! Give it a chance and stay on Ozempic. It definitely helps something to kick in and to help you lose weight.. I went from 381 pounds to 339. I am on a very restricted diet but if i had to guess, I would say Ozempic helped me lose at least a pound and a half every 2 weeks. just guessing though but it does work because I was on this diet before and I lost much much less. It also curves your appetite like you wouldn't believe. Before I could eat a whole Pizza and now I would have to force myself to eat a 2nd slice. Good luck everyone.

I agree as a person who was just prescribed Ozempic, thank you for showing the ACTUAL injection, I’ve watched lots of how to inject it but I’ve not seen any on a human, just on a lemon or hospital practice things that look like a sponges. ALSO thank you for showing the this is me part of forgetting to swab your tummy with alcohol swab.😎🤙🏼

[saramatuszewska]

This is my first-day taking Ozempic. I was very afraid and terrified. I watched your video and just do it. So thank you <3

[bearyhot]

I'm going to take it for the first time today, and I was SO nervous, but this was my very first video that I watched, and you made me feel SO much better! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for this video! ♥️

[coricooper]

Thank you for posting this! I just got prescribed ozempic and was about to take my first dose and was getting really anxious about it since I’ve never done a self injection. So I watched the video and did it with you and it was super helpful! Thank you ❤️

[sheandolendunn]

I am so very glad I found your community. Today I did my 2nd injection of Ozempic. My sister helped me last week, so today I was scared stiff. So I found your video, as I refused to be defeated. You made it so easy. Have not had any issues. My eating regime has changed in one week's time, so I'm excited. Better eating and exercise...let's do it. Thanks and I'm headed to find your other videos.

[PamelaSmithakapossbert]

And thank you from Western Australia. I picked up my first pen this morning, realised I really needed to watch someone real inject themselves (instead of the medical vids which showed a block of plasticine getting jabbed), did a search on YT, and yours was the first to come up. It definitely wasn't as scary or painful as I was expecting, so thank you!

[brynedolor]

I love it it curbs my appetite. I have lost about 15 pounds

[frenchfancy]

I’ve been using this for 4 months and I’ve lost 41 pounds, it the best decision I’ve ever made.

[Shortclerk]

I was so nervous about my first shot. I kept picking up and putting down the needle. Then a friend told me about this channel and my goodness. Thank you for this video. I was able to take it as you took it. I felt less alone! I called the friend back and they told me to get over their fear of the needle as well. They watch you every time to distract them. It helps!

[clammojo]

I just brought home my pen. No one showed me or told me how to use it, your video has saved my day. Thank you so much for sharing your journey.

[LessThanHandy]

Was just prescribed this for my diabetes 2 and tonight was my first shot. Thanks to you, I made it through it. Thank you.

[angeliqueezell]

Thanks for sharing I was scared taking this, it wasn’t like the Trulicity I was taking the pen so seeing the needle made me nervous. Watching you was so helpful! I did mine right along with you . I was a PRO, very simple and easy ! Best wishes with you care ! We got this y’all 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[matthewmack]

Thanks Hangry Woman! I show your video to many of my patients (I am a family doc) to decrease their anxiety about starting Ozempic and they appreciate you!
