Hi everyone, I have been on Ozempic for a few months now and I am sure it is helping. My blood sugar has remained constant despite me eating and drinking the wrong things from time to time. Give it a try.

Hi Courtney, no as far as I can remember I had no odd side effects, maybe a bit more wind than before but that soon passed. Don’t worry about the needle, it is so fine that you feel absolutely nothing. 

Take care

Brian

I have been on Semaglutide and it makes me so sick to my stomach that I feel like going to be throwing up. They switched me to the daily tablets and those were worse. I felt sick the whole day. And that's with following the instructions to the letter.

That being said, while that is a common side effect, apparently the severity isn't so common and I'm on several medications for diabetes (including insulin and metformin), cholesterol, gastric issues and mental health. So the side effects could be a reaction to all of the various meds as well.

Wish you well on your journey.

This med Rybelsus is awesome. It has helped me bring my A1C down to 5.1 from a high of 9.7. I first started with the 3mg and am now on the 14mg. Been on this med since March and while I did experience some nausea and mild upset stomach it went away after about a week. It has also helped me lose 50lbs as well. I also take with metformin. I should be the poster child for this drug...even though I'm 50 - https://onlinecheappills.com/semaglutide.html
