I started today...excited and nervous. My sister has lost 30 lbs in 4 months and her sugars are so much better. As you stated here, her appetite is gone and she is just not hungry to binge eat.

[@joejohnson8304]

I have learned more from this video than any other I have watched . Thanks Much!!!

[@ednaserry-kamal6631]

Have been using Ozempic for the past 4 months I was 173lb and now i am 140lb I am so grateful

Any updates?

Hi I just started Ozempic and will report back on my experience. This is the best factual explanation I have found on the drug. Thanks

Very good presentation!

Very good thank you Dr

Just started today 3/9/23 Thanks for informing video. I'm looking forward to seeing how this plays out.

Female 48 PCOS, insulin resistance, had gastric bypass 14 years ago but have gained back about 70% of the weight lost. I've been on Ozempic for a month now. The best way I can explain this experience is that is has quieted the overwhelming "chatter" in my head that drives me to constantly snack. I haven't had any reactive hypoglycemia attacks since I started and I feel normal. Yes, there were a few days of "don't trust a fart", but it has calmed down.

[@DavidBrackett385]

Did you have reactive hypoglycemia before you started this ozampic? If so did it stop the sugar lows?

[@missyf2803]

@@DavidBrackett385 yes, HG is a common result of gastric bypass. I haven't had an episode at all. The combination of insulin resistance and gastric bypass creates a really unstable sugar situation. this has definitely made it better.

[@DavidBrackett385]

@@missyf2803 wow that is awesome!!!!! I have been blessed with idiopathic reactive hypoglycemia since 2008 and I’m wondering if Ozampic would help me. I’m not smart enough to figure it all out lol.

[@DavidBrackett385]

@@missyf2803 I suffer from Reactive Hypoglycemia and am insulin resistant. I think this may help my blood sugar lows after eating

[@noblex68]

Thank you. That was very informative. And yes, after my third week, I feel full after every meal. I'm pretty sure I've lost some weight.

[@MyHealthExplained]

Well done

The day I came across Dr IGUDIA KZbin channel was the day I started living a more comfortable life again after using his herbs medication in curing my Diabetes disease

[@AW-vd4pc]

This was so informative. I have just received my first prescription and this answered all my questions.

[@kodak5300]

I am taking ozempic for my type 2 diabetes and it is working. I have lost wait it is reducing my appetite. Trulictly did nothing for me. I did not lose a single pound with that.

[@GujjUAtL_UsA]

hey all . plz help !!! which insurance you have so i can buy that insurance bez they did not cover my medicine

[@lisasteyn6716]

Very articulate video, thanks. I do have some questions though. In terms of pancreatic action, isn’t the increased levels of insulin produced naturally and probably more often by the body part of the reason why insulin receptors on cells become insulin resistant? And in that case isn’t it counterintuitive to be taking a medication to increase the insulin? Or is it the lesser evil as the goal is to get the sugar out of the blood no matter if it actually increases the potential for even more insulin cell receptor resistance. Secondly, in terms of food staying longer in the stomach, wouldn’t that increase or cause food to ‘rot’ in the stomach? And how does staying longer in the stomach affect stomach acid production? Is there more released? Could that be problematic? Third question, if you take a medication that is almost identical to a chemical already produced by the body, would the body stop producing that chemical as no need to anymore and when you finally stop taking the medication and it’s totally out your system in 5 weeks, would the body still be producing enough quantities of the chemical, or might there be a problem with even less being produced than before and so a potential for increased appetite and weight gain? Have been prescribed ozempic but unsure. Thanks

[@sachinkainth9508]

Does anyone else here get sulphur burps and stomach problems when drinking caffeine or alcohol while on Ozempic?

[@behramcooper3691]

Thank you doc. Do I have to use the 4mm needles that come with the pen, or can I use 8mm needles?

[@MyHealthExplained]

Either I recommend 6-8 mm for most type 2 people

[@ericafortunato1789]

Should a pre diabetic take it A1c 5.7?

[@sailingsam3815]

How about Zybelsus?

[@bluesky4385]

Is Ozempic mainly for overweight Diabetics. I ask because every commercial I see it is obvious it is being marketed that way. How would taking this drug impact a Type 2 that is not overweight or inactive? losing weight for that person may not be in their best interest.

[@ultimatehairsalon5793]

Can ozenpic cause breast cancer because it works with hormones. It's written on the leaflet that it can cause tyrod cancer. I have taking two box already and it works well on me by losing 7 kilo

[@entyce66]

This pen did wonders for me no cravings no joint pain lost weight...I was on it for 5 weeks .25 for 4 weeks and .5 on the 5th week, until I developed acute pancreatitis, I was placed on flagyl and now I am fine however, the weight is creeping up again and the cravings....I never suffered from pancreas issues....I am wondering if the dose was too much....I wonder if I can reduce the dose ....I hate that this has happened to me it was working so nicely😩😩...is there anything else that can help my insulin resistance 😩😩😩😩 or is it the GLP-1 that is the issue? Thank you Dr.

[@MyHealthExplained]

Generally if you have had genuine pancreatitis then GLP-1 therapy if to be avoided even if not the cause. Unfortunately as it sounded like it very effective for you

[@entyce66]

@@MyHealthExplained yes it was, VERY EFFECTIVE, have you suggested any other meds in place of this for patients who experienced acute pancreatitis? Thank you Dr

[@verlesiaevans3966]

If you are insulin dependent should you still take your daily insulin along with this once a week shot? Or will this shot replace the insulin all together?

[@angelarobinson593]

It don't replace your insulin. It just helps your pancreas produce more insulin. So Yes you should take it on the same day.

[@travelingwithlee459]

Is this for women patients only or guys can take ozempic also? Please let me know. Thanks.

[@MyHealthExplained]

Either sex

Can I use it even no am not diabetes

[@brandijones2007]

I’m not diabetic and my dr prescribed to me

[@martintessier4444]

1 MG made me sick always on the edge of vomiting when before I never had this issue. I took a break of 2 months, my stupid blood sugar were so hight it wasn't even funny, Now I just restarted 0.25 mg and they are back down big time ..... Im also 40 yrs old and type 2 and overweight.

[@lauranewell3197]

Does this affect PCOS? Hypertension?

[@MyHealthExplained]

It probably does Laura if it causes weight loss in a person with PCOS

[@sailingsam3815]

How about Rybelsus, Ozempic in pill form?

[@MyHealthExplained]

its the same drug as ozempic but at much higher doses as most is broken down by stomach acids.. The data suggests it is not as effective in terms of weight loss or lowering sugars. Here is an article I put together ..www.myhealthexplained.com/diabetes-information/diabetes-articles/rybelsus-what-does-it-do-and-how-do-i-use-it
