Anybody else taking it? I just started mine last Monday. I also take a long term and short term insulin shot twice a day. I have noticed that I have to cut down the amount of each, or I get the dreaded sugar low. Which, seems to me, is a good thing. I think it is working for me, but I need a much longer trial to really nail it down.
I have no clue what you are talking about.
Sorry.
No clue.
Drunk as fuck.
But still no clue.

No need to know, unless you are diabetic.
Started Ozempic and loving it. One shot a week. My numbers are the best in years. ymmv
I guess nobody else is taking this stuff. What I've discovered so far. It produces 3 side effects for me. Gas, nausea (but not to the vomit stage), and light headedness. Nausea is the most persistent. Sunday it was so much of a nuisance that I had one small bowl of food for the entire day. So, in a little over a week I've lost 10lbs. My usual insulin intake was 25 units long acting insulin both morning and night. And 25 units short acting insulin with each meal. The first day I did that after my Trulicity shot I had a huge sugar crash. I have been using half and sometimes much less than half of those doses. Today I had about half of what I used to eat for lunch--and took 5 units of short acting insulin. 2hrs. later my blood sugar was at 114; amazing for me. So far, the lowered insulin intake is very good. But the price, so far, is not feeling all that good. But my usual reaction (if I have one) is nausea, which usually abates within 2 weeks. And as I understand it, trucility is also good protection for the cardio/vascular system (I've had 8 stints) which is a huge bonus. So, if I can outlast the side effects--which are supposed to last no longer than a month, I'll be in better shape.
So, fellow diabetics, this may be something for you to look into. In another couple of weeks I'll have a better handle on exactly what this will or will not do for me.
