Ozempic Full Review - Tutorial, Side Effects

In this video, PA David covers everything about the Type 2 Diabetes medication Ozempic! We go into how the medication works, the doses, common side effects, and how to use the injector device. I also discuss my own personal opinions on where Ozempic fits into the management of Type 2 Diabetes and the type of patients for whom it's most appropriate.

Been on it for 2 years now. A1C down to 5.2 from 14.8 . Weight is down from 364 to 220lbs. This stuff saved my life. My Endocrinologist recommended it and I am so thankful he did.

I’ve been on Ozempic for about 6 months. I’m 45 years old and have been a paraplegic for 12 years. I blew up to size 56 pants post injury. Since ozempic I’ve dropped down to a 44. 3 sizes more to go to get back down to my preinjury size!! This stuff has brought me back to life!!! I’ve wheeling 5 miles a day, and back to rolling off road.

Started me out on 2 MG. The side effects were bad, mainly severe nausea. Just took my 6th shot today, and am from 241 lbs to 197 lbs. I was pre-diabetic, too. Key word, was. Life saver!🎉

I was given Ozempic to help reduce my a1c back in October. I weighed 223 when started now I weigh 172. It's amazing.

I am 79 and my A1C suddenly hit 7.9 and I was put on this medication. This is BY FAR the very best video I have seen to educate yourself on using a prescription product to reduce your A!C. Information and production values are perfect!

I am 63 years old and have been on Ozempic for 6 months and it has changed my life! I have lost 56 lbs and my eating habits have changed considerably. I have cut out all sweet things ( sugar, chocolate etc, ) and check all foods for sugar content before I eat. The gym bores me, so I walk everyday - to the shops or the shopping centre and use the stairs instead of lifts ( elevators) . I have an exercise bicycle in my room and watch films when I'm on it. I was amazed at the weight loss ( I've had to change my clothes size from 3XL to L ) and feel much better, both physically and mentally. I did suffer some side effects ( flatulence / nausea ) initially, but they only occur if I succumb to the odd 'treat' . I would have no hesitation in recommending OZEMPIC in combatting Diabetes Type 2.

I am not diabetic but on Ozempic for weight loss and it’s an absolute game-changer. I’ve managed to lose 25 pounds so far, nearly 10% of my body weight. This has resulted in increasing my stamina and tolerance for more exercise, something I really struggled with before. Just an amazing medication.

I've been on Ozempic 5 weeks, strictly for weightloss. I originally wanted Saxenda, and my doctor recommended this instead. I do have a history of Gestational diabetes and family history of type 2. I've lost 15lbs and no unwanted side affects! So happy!

It nearly killed me. In and out of hospital. Vomited and had diarrhea for 40 days. Finally figured out it was ozempic. Lucky to be alive.

I’ve been taking this for 4 months and I’ve lost 42 pounds . For me it really just makes my appetite go away completely and in return helps me keep better eating habits.

Started on Ozempic 7 Month's ago. As of today, 43# down. I Love this stuff. I have changed the way I eat. It's a lifestyle change. No sugar, little to no carbs, and lots of water! Still need to lose 50#'s more.
Can't tell you how much better I feel!
I can walk much better! No wheezing, my whole body just feels so much lighter!
I'm 68 years old, beginning weight WAS 257..TODAY 214. YAHOO!!

I've been on it for almost 3 months for weight loss. I've dropped almost 15lbs. I'm not hungry anymore, no cravings, I eat small amounts. I'm excited to see how far I can go. I've had gastric bypass in 1999 and after tremendous weight loss I regained most of it since then. Hunger would not stop, cravings became binges. Ozempic is working so far. The semaglutide for weight loss is not covered by my insurance, but Ozempic is because it's designed for diabetes. I'm feeling better, my ruined joints aren't as bad. Soon I should be able to start taking walks. 🎉

[michellechristy]

Been on Ozempic for a few months.i just started 1mg injections. Barely any side affects..down 22.4 lbs. This is a miracle drug for me. Thanks for this video. Put me more at ease :) barely any hunger and binge eating disorder under control!!

[cyjonzjones]

Been on Ozempic for a couple of years now. I am now 66 years old and was diagnosed with diabetes just over 2 years ago. My A-1 C was 11.7 it is now 5.8. After being on it for less than a year I had to get new glasses because my eyes had improved so much. The 1 side effect I do have is nausea pretty much every day.

[ratkinson]

I am Type 2 with Fistulizing Crohn's Disease. Ozempic has definitely lowered my A1C. But a fringe benefit is that has also helped tremendously with the diarrhea associated with Crohn's. Apparently slowing the GI transit time induced by the Ozempic helps the Crohn's. Nice benefit for me.

[akeira]

Ozempic has made a WORLD of difference for my type 2 management. I'm actually losing weight, and my yo-yoing blood sugar has finally leveled out!

[leannea.]

I just took my first dose of Ozempic and finding this video has allayed a lot of my concerns and answered my questions. After finding out how high my A1C had gotten, I kind of zoned out what the doctor was saying. My pharmacist was great, but I thought of questions after I left the pharmacy. Thank you. I think your channel is going to be my go to as I navigate this next journey in Type 2 Diabetes.

My primacy care just put me on this. I have not begun as of yet. My A1C is currently an 8. I was never this big but a motorcycle crash in 2013 had me out of work for a combined 1.5 years. I was a FedEx driver in good shape. I gained over 100lbs! Two years ago I was 346lbs with a 52" waist. Then became diabetic. I lost 70lbs and currently have a 44" waist. Doc still wants me on Ozempic. This video is greatly appreciated because I know nothing about the product or the side effects.

I've been on Ozempic for 8 weeks. Dosage is 0.5 mgm. Good results from blood work. But still having side effects. Bloating, nausea, & constipation. I need the control of A1C & cholesterol best than it's been in 30 years. But ruining social life. Feel sorry for my husband. He's been great.
