Hi everyone 👋

GLP-1 and related medications such as Wegovy and Mounjaro are being talked about a lot at the moment, especially for weight management.

Some people may already be using them, while others may be considering them or wondering what the experience is really like.

Have you ever used a GLP-1 or similar medication for weight management? What was your experience like?

If you haven’t tried one, what questions or concerns would you like to ask people who have?

Everyone’s experience is different, so if you feel comfortable, share your thoughts, experiences, or questions with the community. Your perspective may help someone else who is exploring their options. 💙

Take care,

Razar from the Carenity team💖

Yes I have been using this medicine in tablet form as I would not self inject. No issues have been experience and lost over 2 stone so quite happy with the result. As a diabetic, to which was the original use of this medicine. I am well controlling my blood sugars as it has returned to levels long term to my pre diabetic levels!

@Loudriplu7309 Thanks for sharing your experience, Rob. It’s great to hear that you’ve been happy with your progress and haven’t experienced any issues so far.

It’s particularly interesting to hear about the changes you’ve noticed in your blood sugar levels alongside the weight loss. Of course, everyone can respond differently to these medications, so hearing a range of experiences is really valuable.

Thanks again for sharing your perspective with the community! 💙

Take care,

I'm lucky I'm not obese but I know my doctor would not approve the usage of these if I asked or spoke to him about it. I have a friend who injected herself for many months, lost lots of weight but got so ill in the process she had to stop. She's not been well since and has regretted being on them.

@Wayweash8762 Thanks for sharing this, Les. It sounds like your friend had a really difficult experience, especially after initially seeing the weight loss she was hoping for.

These medications can affect people very differently, which is why it’s so important for anyone considering them to discuss the potential benefits and side effects with their doctor and to have proper medical follow-up.

I hope your friend is able to feel better with time, and thank you for sharing another perspective with the community. 😊

With care,
Razar💖

@Razar.M She was buying it online and the weight loss was good until she became ill. She's now unable to work a full week due to ill health, and unfortunately got other health issues from taking it.
