Rybelsus Update - What's New?

[@diygenesis]

@David I just started taking Rybelsus 12/28/23 and so far I am loving it. I have been dealing with type 2 diabetes since I was 45 and I am now 54. I am going on a discovery to see how this performs for me over the next 3 months, so I will give you an update March 1, 2024. Great video and thanks so much for the excellent information.

[@diygenesis]

I currently have great results and saw weight loss although I am not looking for any weight loss. I am looking to build muscle and Rybelsus seems to be helping to keep excess weight off while I build muscle through weight lifting and cardio training. So far nothing bad to say, but I am wondering if I can get off Metformin and just keep Rybelsus and Glipizide. Thanks so much for following up.

[@niecek.6473]

[@sassoenator]

After 5 months, this drug destroyed my body. I'm trying to detox now, I welcome cessation instead of the agony I'm going through. We continue being lab rats in the name of profit. Helping humans they're not. You've been advised.

I use rybelsus 1 year now, my blod shuggers now is lowe , werry nice. For weight lose its nkt work for me , but shuggers is low, i fell werry good , no problems, and can eat all :)

[@teflonbutterfly536]

Thank you for your thorough content. I just started this medication 2 weeks ago and have lost 8 pounds. I’m also on a low carb diet. I’ve eliminated potatoes, rice and pasta from my diet. I’m looking forward to seeing more results. The cons for me was not getting enough water throughout the day and experiencing headaches. I make sure to constantly drink water now and cut back on the coffee.

[@xyonmarley]

Started 3mg Rybelsus for weight loss in March 2024- only side effect at the time was constipation. I’m now on 7mg and no side effects- I’ve included fibre into my diet and occasionally take a mild laxative to help bowel movement. First week on the 3mg, I’ve lost 6lbs. It works. All my sugar cravings went away overnight and felt like throwing up with just the thought of cookies and cakes that I usually crave.

I've been on Rybelsus for 10 months. I have lost a solid 35 lbs and lots of inches. I have been trying to fast as well. Hoping to Hit that 40 lb mark soon. Right now I'm trying for the small goal of getting my A1C down below 8. I have labs in a couple of days so here's hoping.

TLDR: Rybelsus, an oral medication for type 2 diabetes, has potential weight loss effects and new dosages, and may also be approved for weight reduction in non-diabetic patients. 00:00 📝 Rybelsus update: oral medication for type 2 diabetes, non-injected, potential weight loss effects, new dosages and another oral medication in development. 02:12 📦 Rybelsus now comes in individual plastic bottles for convenience and cost-effectiveness. 04:20 📦 Nova Nordisk introduces new packaging for Rybelsus with desicant cap, FDA places caveat on label for not using as first-line medication for type 2 diabetes. 06:16 📈 Rybelsus is now a top choice for diabetes medication with reduced safety warnings, but insurance companies may still prefer cheaper options like Metformin. 08:11 📈 Higher doses of Rybelsus have been found to be more effective for A1C and weight reduction, leading to potential changes in medication usage. 09:12 📈 Patients in a trial saw A1C reduction and weight loss with 50 mg Rybelsus, new doses and potential for non-diabetic weight loss are on the horizon, while Semaglutide pills may be approved for weight reduction with a different name. 10:56 📋 Rybelsus (Elsis OIC or wigi) may be approved for weight reduction in non-diabetic patients with a potential new name, and there is ongoing research for its indication to reduce cardiovascular risk in patients with diabetes and heart disease. 12:38 📣 Rybelsus is in high demand, and the speaker wants to know if people without type 2 diabetes would take it for weight reduction, and to share their experiences in the comments.

[@leannemcdonough8671]

I took 3 1/2 mg, half a pill for 11 days to try it for weight loss. I loved it. Lost 4.9 pounds but mainly inches! I will use this in my tool box to micodose as needed. That said, I watch my diet and exercise regularly.

[@moviesforever8805]

Update please. ? Now weight ? Did you increase the dose ??

[@Bevity]

Half a pill? We aren't supposed to break, crush or chew this medication. There is a video that says why. I wasn't taking it whole but am now. I've only been taking 3 mg for two weeks, so I have two weeks left to take it properly before I take the higher dose.

[@triciaandthewolf]

Great to hear success stories 😀I've type 2 diabetes.i gained weight as I I started comfort eating due to various traumas including the death of my baby daughter.I've lost 4 stone in 3 years .Sloooow .I'm still on Metformin my sugar seems to be behaving but I'm asking my Dr tomorrow if I can start Ryebelsus 🙈 to finally shift the rest of this pesky weight. Wish me luck 🤞 Best wishes from Donegal Ireland.

[@niecek.6473]

Great advice from this doctor, everything he is saying is true. I have been on it for about 16 months, 7mg from the start. I’m 67 and was diagnosed as T2, 10 years ago. I’m still on Metformin, and a Keto diet (low carb) and exercise to help me lose 40 lbs. I have lost 20 more lbs on Rybelsus, plus I have found what this doctor is saying is true about heart health. I now micro dose my BP & statin meds, and feel great. I need to lose 20 more lbs to be at my goal weight and get my waist under 35”. Negative about the drug-if I happen to over eat-I have experienced vomiting & diarrhea maybe 3 times the whole time taking it. Makes me think twice about eating & drinking certain foods 🤔

[@ScottGriffith-o6f]

David I have been on Rybelsus for the 30 day 3mg now finishing the 30 day 7 mg and I start my 14 mg tomorrow. I am almost 55 years old and have had type2 since mid 40's and never took meds till 10 months ago or so as it got out of control and diet and exercise wouldn't touch it anymore (A1c) Started metformin 1000mg at night and 4 months it dropped 9.8 a1c to 7.3. Dr wanted to take more metformin of course to get below 7. So 1000 mg am and pm. 4 months later sugar out of control again 7.8 and 278 fasting sugar. I attribute to injury where I couldn't exercise and was snacking more. Doctor flipped out and started Rybelsus and I must say what a difference. lost 15 lbs in 60 day and still losing. My appetite is way down and my pants are loose. I don't and never had monitored my blood sugar so I'm not sure what it is but I can tell you its down under 7 guaranteed. after next 30 days on 14 mg of Rybelsus I will have my 4 month bloodwork done and I will update. I think Rybelsus is a game changer.

Very informative. I have been taking this medication for two months now. It has been extremely effective in helping to manage my a1c and weight loss.

[@ahlemmoulaybrahim6783]

Thank you for sharing all these updates. Actually I always wandered why the oral form wasn’t studied for weight loss so I believe this clinical trial is promising and will offer an easy alternative to obese patients vs injectable form.

Glad you enjoyed it

Hi, hope youre good. How have you been on Rybelsus?

[@arnoldmmr]

Thanks a lot for the wonderful video with a lot of information. Is this medication is going to be lifelong or can be stopped after the reduction of Hb1C or can the doctor prescribe other pills in case if I feel it way too expensive to manage.

[@rachelniv5869]

😮

[@bigjohann99]

Welcome Back!

[@Dwynfal]

Thanks for the info Dan! I'm just starting out on Rybelsus so I've been reading up on it. I think the change in packaging is probably more a cultural/user experience thing than a cost/shipping. I'm in Belgium and pretty much all medication come in blister packs, even OTC drugs like aspirin! That's what we're used to. That said, I've also lived in Canada where the "traditional pill bottle" is the norm. Rybelsus comes in simple boxed blister packs here, no additional card booklets.

[@karlaisonfire]

How are you doing? 😊

[@CarmelErnest-r5e]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@nayanimabasu3241]

Thanks for the info. But in India they still come in the boxes and not bottles. Hope that’s not a concern.

Thank you for sharing your videos. I previously took Mounjaro and lost a whopping almost 60 lbs but when I got up to the 10mg dose(next to the highest dose) my body said"Nope not having it" got horrible nausea and some vomiting. So talked with my doc and he had samples of Rybelsus. So Im halfway through the 3mg intro dose. No weight loss with this 3mg dose. I just need to loose the last 20lbs. So.. it's a process. So far no issues at all with the Rybelsus. Thanks again for your videos!

Before I started to take rybelsus March 2023 my A1C was 8.2 and now is 6.3

[@humidbeing]

I'd much rather do the weekly injection. I have to swallow enough pills every day lol. But I understand some people are not comfortable self-administering injections, so it's great to have an oral alternative for delivery.

[@beri232]

This is EXACTLY what prompted me to ask my Dr. about Ozempic last week. Rybelsus seems to hurt my stomach a bit and 1 less friggin pill every day would be nice. I’m 50 and my Dr. Has me on 2 different blood pressure meds, Metformin and a cholesterol pill. Some of these have to be taken with food, some have to be taken on an empty stomach and some are taken twice a day. It’s a pain in the ass! My blood pressure isn’t even that high but because I’m diabetic… he wants it around 110/80. Oh…… and I can’t even get Ozempic because all these “fad-dieters” have caused a shortage!

[@lucieni]

I have to say I used Saxenda for 3 months to lose 2st or 14lbs in weight which I did lose no problem as I had low key/fluctuations in nausea the whole time so it was easy not to eat. I did however have to give up Toujeo LA insulin (LADA diagnosis)) while i took Saxenda because my BG dropped excessively and it was difficult to treat with food or glucose because of the nausea. Either way I could not have done this without a CGM (Dexcom G7)

[@mondsbetsy]

I just started taking it. And is giving me terrible headaches but I think is because I’m not drinking enough water . I will start drinking more water and I will see😊

Thanks for sharing! Hoping for great improvement. Cheers.

[@BettyBlue5]

[@DeneF]

We can't get Osempic/Wegovy over here in the UK due to massive shortages. We are told it's because of so many Americans purchasing so much of it. Don't know if that's true but it is true that shortages will run until 2025.

[@PamelaLGJ]

I've been taking Mounjaro for 5 months and it's impossible to fill due to USA shortages. On tomorrow I will start Rybelsus 7mg. While on Mounjaro my A1C went from 7.8 to 7.0. I can't wait to see what Rybelsus will do.

[@KentuckyRanger]

I'm getting ready to try the 3 MG dose, for my type 2 diabetes. Been taking Farziga 10MG and Metformin 1,000MG for years, but due to kidney issues, my Dr took me off it, and wants me to try Rybelsus. Funny thing though, my Walgreens is out of stock! Not sure when they'll get it back in, so it's a waiting game now...

[@KentuckyRanger]

Update: After two weeks on Rybelsus 3mg, my daily glucose readings have come back down to the 120s, after they spiked to 190~220 after being taken off Metformin. It stinks, because when I was on Metformin, my daily glucose levels were 100~120. My A1-C had dropped to 6, so my Dr took me off the Metformin, because of my kidney function, plus, he wanted to see if my body would adjust, and keep my blood sugar in check. Well, no, no it didn't... My A1-C shot up to 8.6. I really hope that Rybelsus keeps working like it is, because I'm starting to feel really good, getting my energy back, and I've noticed a reduction in my neuropathy pain. I did have some gastrointestinal issues at first, but those issues resolved within a few days.

[@sugarhighchannel]

Hi, glad you are enjoying the channel. It’s really not possible to say with certainty from here whether theythe gallstone was caused by Rybelsus. It is true that gallstones have been reported in some patients taking Rybelsus. At the same time, it’s also true that there are several different contributing factors to gallstones and quite a few people have them without really knowing it. The good news is that it was found And if it ever causes a blockage and requires management, it’s already been identified.

[@amcorke]

I had severe diarrhea when taking Ozempic. Recently tried Rybelsus and had the same problem after 10 days. This goes on for some time and is a life-limiting problem but no one seems to address how to handle these side effects. Anyone out there experiencing similar trouble? How do you handle it?

I would stop it, prolonged diarrhea as the side effect is alarming.

[@rosemarymonty5399]

I am in Canada and my Doc put me on metformin for my original diagnosis, however the stomach pain incapacitated me and we moved to the new drug - Ozempic (once a week injection). I was on that for a bit until I could not continue due to side effects affecting my stomach. Now I’m on Rybelsus and no stomach side effects however I’m wondering if my drastic hair loss is a result of Ozempic/Rybelsus as I believe Wegovy has this side effect. How can 30 days of Rybelsus fit in that small bottle?
