[@coolbreeze5683]

I agree, avoid pharma at all costs. Type 2 diabetes is reversible in 80% of cases through diet and exercise. It's not easy but it's the better route compared to medication that can give you gastroparesis and various other problems they don't even link to the medications. I took antibiotics my doctor gave me "just on case" and ended up with gastoparesis for 3 years and nerve damage. From 3 days of antibiotics. This crap is permanent. Whatever is in these medications alters the mechanisms in your body and lead to dysfunction. There's no way of making these mechanisms go back to the way they were before.

I went home and started doing some research on ozempic and one of the doctors I was listening to on KZbin said if you have gastroparesis which I do you should not be taking ozempic. I called the medical pharmacist and told him I will not be taking ozempic. I am fine with the diabetic regimen that I am on right now. We are nothing but guinea pigs to the pharmaceutical companies.

My daughter has gastroparesis, not from ozempic. It's hard to imagine how awful this condition is if you do not know it personally. It is a literal condition of starvation. And some days, food does not want to move down your throat. This is how doctors should be warning their patients, not keeping drug reps around to sell more. This is terrifying. A woman at my work was casually talking about how her sisters are on it and not her because she can't afford it. She laughed at me. These side effects start when you stop taking it.

[@suzannek3406]

I have worked as a NP in Endocrinology for many years. Ozempic is one of the best medications we have seen to manage diabetes. Diabetes can cause gastroparesis. If her glucose levels stayed too high, that damages nerves throughout the body, including those in the stomach and intestines. If she lost nearly 50% of her body weight, I suspect she had uncontrolled diabetes for many years. So she may have had it underlying from the diabetes to begin with, but Ozempic can make symptoms worse. I’m sorry she is having these medical issues, but Ozempic is a lifesaving medication with much lower risks to health than allowing poorly controlled diabetes to ravage someone’s body.

[@carloscontreras3633]

You are working in a specialty service? Wow.

[@christineperez7562]

No it's not. Sorry it's not. She said she had her levels under control. Many people are now having problems. For you to say that just keeps people on poison.

[@suzannek3406]

@@christineperez7562 do you have any medical background or training as an RN or medical healthcare provider? If not, then you have no idea how bad diabetes is on the body, even at “well controlled” levels, damage is still being done and the level of nerves and blood vessels.

[@sandralovelady4858]

@@suzannek3406 I'm an RN, and I know that the diet pushed by the ADA (bought and paid for by Coca Cola, the ultra-processed food industry, and Big Pharma) and what is fed to diabetics in the hospital are criminal! 60 grams of carbohydrates per meal for a patient that is essentially allergic to carbohydrates is medical malpractice! You would never tell a patient allergic to shell fish to go ahead and eat all the shrimp they want, just take this shot of epinepherine and a few benadryl before you eat! The only difference in these two senarios is the shrimp will kill the patient quickly as where the diabetes kills one rotting body part at a time! It's not even "healthy carbs" it's high fructose corn syrup. Type 2 diabetics go into the hospital on pills and leave on insulin. If you're an Endocrinology NP and you in any way support the standard of care pushed by the ADA you're either suffering from a case cognitive dissonance or are a willful participant in harming those that came to you for help. However, if you recognize that standard of care is failing those in your care and actually want to help your patients I suggest you join The Society of Metabolic Health Practitoners. As far as "well controlled" levels still causing damage I agree 100%. We know that microvascular damage starts at an a1C above 5.8, so why then does the ADA recommend maintaining an a1C at 7.0 for T2DM, and why does the ADA and Endocrinologist recommend my cousin keep her T1DM 2 year old at a blood glucose level of 180-200? That's an a1C well above the level known to cause microvascular damage eventually leading to diabetic retinopathy and CKD! Also, telling someone, directly or indirectly, to stay in their lane because they don't work in healthcare is ridiculously condescending. Health experts have been wrong on countless occasions leading to the deaths of 100s of thousands, if not millions of people of the centuries. Starting with the medical establishment ignoring the warnings of Ignaz Semmelweis, that if they only washed their hands after playing with cadavar's women and babies wouldn't die of childbirth fever. More recently the medical establishment ridiculed Dr Bernard Lown, Cardiologist, inventor of the 1st defibrillator, but more importantly the 1st doctor to insist that cardiac patient's be ambulated early instead of strict bedrest. His collegues held mock funeral processions throughout the cardiac floor when he was on duty. They accused him of continuing Nazi medical torture experiments, calling him the American Mengele. Now we know both were correct. Now on to bad drugs, Vioxx anyone?? They knew Vioxx was killing people, it was in their documents, "great drug, too bad what it does to the heart, but will make a lot of money!" The largest criminal fines ever paid out were all paid out by Pharmeceutial compaines. Here's a link to just a short list of drugs that were causing far more harm than good, prescriptiondrugs.procon.org/fda-approved-prescription-drugs-later-pulled-from-the-market/. Plese don't claim ignorance of the harm drugs have caused to patient's over the years. These patients are NOT being given informed consent about all the potential risk related to the drugs they are prescribed. Based on your above comment, I'm willing to bet all the times you prescribe Ozempic you only sold the upside of the drug and downplayed the risk. Do you even know the NNT for Ozembic? How about the realitive risk/benefit versus the absolute risk/benefit? If you don't know the answer to these questions then you don't have the right to talk down to someone and tell them to stay in their lane because they don't work in healthcare. Lastly, making a blanket statement "you don't know," well YOU DON'T KNOW anything about her, maybe she watched someone she loved die a slow miserable death, rotting away, one body part at a time, becaue of the bad advice given to them by practitoners of the SICK-care industry bought and paid for by Big Pharma.

[@ElizabethGuerrero-i8e]

I was on ozempic for 2 months at .25 weekly.

I’ve been off ozempic for about a week and remain the same. I’m a diabetic but did not have this problem until I started ozempic. I had a healthy appetite which is probably why I was overweight. I’m about to start getting tested for gastrparesis and pray I don’t have it and that ozempic just needs to leave my system. From what I’ve read there is no cure for gastroparesis only treatment to make it more manageable. I truly hate I ever started ozempic. People please really research before you take this drug.

This is madness! Ozempec is not the answer. At any given point of time there should be only 4 grams of sugar (glucose) in our blood stream. But majority of people eat 150+ grams of carbohydrates per meal that is being converted to glucose. So on average people are consuming 37 teaspoons of sugar per meal. Then, they repeat it 2 more times. This is insane amount of sugar and this is how you gain weight and become diabetic. Remember, there supposed to be only 4 grams of sugar in blood stream at any given point of time. Every carbohydrate is converted to glucose inside our bodies. No exceptions. These are bread, rice, potatoes, pasta, spaghetti, pizza, starchy vegetables, beans, oatmeal and many more. To achieve the same results without ozempec and be healthy, eat animal proteins like meat & eggs, butter, fish, seafood. Some cooked vegetables are acceptable in small quantities.

She also had a service dog for TYPE 2 diabetes which is quite bizarre it was also a tiny little bread that does not have the capacity to detect blood glucose levels. She also trained the dog herself because they are not offered to TYPE 2 diabetics and never considered that instead of a dog if it was that bad she could just use a CGM. She seems to really love attention and her first foray into attention involved saying she was addicted to crack cocaine and homeless. It's quite wild. I know she comes from money it is something she has highlighted in many of her bids for attention but I still think this is all an attempt to get long-term disability from the Toronto Catholic Board's LTD. (in spite of being fired from the public school board she took a position with the Catholic board not too long after)

Ya like opening your mouth and inserting your foot….derp

[@Gfysimpletons]

Good thing you only embarrASSed yourself apparently……..

[@Kwize652]

Experienced gastro issues so I left ozempic No weight loss No reduction in diabetes levels

[@artenman]

Maybe try I don’t know exercising and eating less?

[@JoTracy]

There are in utero factors, genetic factors, mental health factors, and metabolic disease and disorders If only it WERE that simple It is for some, not all

[@MelissaH05]

She didn't start taking it for weight loss. She started taking it for diabetes. And you don't know her story so you have no idea why she was at a heavier weight. There are many health reasons why people gain weight, it is not always that people over eat and don't exercise.

[@artenman]

@@JoTracy This is usually what lazy, overweight people say lol.

[@_Platform]

Try shutting up.

[@andrimarbi]

I wanted to try Ozempic for various reasons but unfortunately I suffer from chronic gastritis so I feel like it would likely cause more gastrointestinal issues for me

[@PharmTech_TN]

It's probably stated in fine print at the very bottom of the medication patient package or medication guide. Most meds comes with side effects. Meds help solve a diagnosis but on the other hand causes other problems. NOTHING new

[@lostinliberty5939]

Literally dont know how hes employed.

[@spinningbackkick6021]

Connections

[@samanthalake5011]

O-o-o-ozempic, Oh nooooo!!!!😮

[@edcherry9282]

Ozempic is not covered by most insurance and is very expensive to buy

[@Gfysimpletons]

So what

[@Yggdrasill8]

I think I will skip on the Ozempic and continue doing 10 hours a week in the gym I've been doing for the past year already cardio and weight lifting 😃

[@ozziejohnson9590]

Where were you at on covid no complaints there right

[@tonyabradshaw2169]

Funny how she states that A1C was 5-6. And she was happy with the weight loss. As she had lost half her body weight. Seem like she was on it for the weight loss not her diabetes any A1c 6 or under is considered good. I don't buy that she was really on it for diabetes as she claims. Furthermore, oral meds and insulin should have been tried before Ozempic. Fishy story. And before you come at me I take an oral med and ozempic for diabetes in March my A1C was 11.4. I started in April in June repeat A1c was 9.4. And while I have lost 28 pounds. I have been careful and make sure I get nutrition and electrolytes and good contact with my medical care team to avoid issues. I did have some nausea in the first month. But all fine now. I just don't buy her story. I'm sorry she is not well. But her medical provider should have stepped in and stopped it early on and maybe she would be healthy.

[@jooliagoolia9959]

WE highly underestimate how badly these medications affect our bodies and minds. Tylenol usage lowers empathy twords others pain and may be leading to less empathy mentally towards others as well.

[@user-ov4wr5yu4r]

You have to look up medications, read all the side effects and interactions, and make your own decision. Take charge of you own health.

[@maxmanx1294]

Its my understanding that these long-term side effects weren't revealed & perhaps not known.

[@pinkchaos.]

It’s your doctors literal job to know, and tell you all this. That’s what they get paid for. It’s not our job or expertise to know what every drug that our doctors prescribe to us’s side effects are.

[@Naturefan354]

​@pinkchaos. No most doctors don't know much about all the medicines they prescribe or are taught it in medical school. That's a pharmacist job to know everything about the medicines doctors prescribe.

[@QuietStormX]

Did she and others did not read side effects with use by some???

[@jala1662]

Did she take it orally or injectable?

[@christineperez7562]

Bottom line is listen to your body. Stop taking medications.

[@spinningbackkick6021]

Exactly

[@christineperez7562]

Some doctors and drug makers told you ozempic is not a weightless drug.

[@spinningbackkick6021]

I mean technically she’s a diabetic.

[@chrisdorrell1]

I am insulin dependent diabetic. The 100% guaranteed best way to lose weight is eat less and exercise

[@SlobArt]

Type 2 diabetics need this more than non.

[@karenharris3183]

what about it use on a person with out them being told?

[@honeybuzzard2843]

I Love Cuomo.. Great to see you again. Where's Andrew?

[@andrellegoodman5139]

"nobody told me" it's literally in the info leaflet inside the box!

[@nacona5114]

My brother-in-law almost died from this, don't take this under any circumstances. This is a designer drug and has more side effects than not.

[@cherylbrantley4736]

She looks like she has more than DM 2. She has definitely has other diagnoses.

[@may-beeart7930]

Yeah you lose weight if you are dead

[@harrycallahan5112]

Gastroparesis can happen to ANY diabetic. happened to both my aunt and grandma and they were both deceased long before this medicine ever came out ....hopefully she continues to improve...what i dont get it the time limit she was on it ...like some meds u have to get used to em n the side effects go away after 6 weeks etc...to stay on it that long and the side effects still hit like day 1? Nah im tossin that bs in the trash idc what med it is .

[@anir8023]

Same as covid vax

[@teresakrueger4114]

It sad it happened but that's why you read the package instructions and the pharmacy information provided. I also Google new medication. Unfortunately it was listed as possible side effect. I feel the doctors who gave this medication out like candy to non diabetic patients should get a big ass fine. But yes ozempic has as shortage issue l feel to all theses non diabetic people taking it. I haven't been able to get my prescription in over a month and decided just to go of it due to the expense.

[@dutchess406]

So she has gastroporisis? Oh she said it. Damn

[@maxmanx1294]

Gastroparesis. The stomach is paralyzed to some degree. Very slow, if any, processing of food. Therefore, new food can't stay down or be absorbed. There is no room & she vomits it back up.

[@lolacookie453]

Can Berberine paralyze your stomach?

[@SD-jd6ix]

Ozmepic has wrecked my my digestion system paralysis of my stomach and digestion is will ever get better definitely stopped taking it only took the ozempic 3 pens never again

[@itsmebrittney-b]

Yeah, nobody told her the drug could paralyze her stomach, but I can sure as shit guarantee you someone told her not to fill her body with fat and sugar for years to get to the weight she’s at which “made” her turn to a drug for diabetics. So for her it’s a moot point, she was still gonna do it anyways

[@eddiearmijo6635]

Those idiots were told not to use it.

[@ShredderTainment]

Sigh…anyone tells you to take a pill to lose weight…run! Pun intended.

[@ShredderTainment]

@eboston7591 yes, this is true. My statement was for those using Ozempic for weight loss.

[@AljIsHere128]

This is why I am leery on medication to take at times and try to be mindful to read on any side effects. Medications can vary on what they do to people.

[@michaelramage73]

This condition is also a side effect of diabetes🤷‍♂️ It has been used in humans since 2008 and in the general diabetic population since 2018.

[@harrycallahan5112]

Ok..this drug does cause stoamch paralysis its exactly how u lose weight on it and it does the very same thing that bariatric does with band or baloon...they also slow down digestion thru their means which is why u stay fuller n eat less ...

[@otearoa]

A suit is in order.

[@nishottara777]

Is she type one or type two?

[@Wtvrflotesurgoat]

Oh hell no. That sounds horrible. I’d rather be a bit chubby lol

[@spinningbackkick6021]

A bit but not super
