OZEMPIC  (SEMAGLUTIDE):  Semaglutide is used with a proper diet and exercise program to control high blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs, and sexual function problems. Proper control of diabetes may also lessen your risk of a heart attack or stroke. Semaglutide is similar to a natural hormone in your body (incretin). It works by causing insulin release in response to high blood sugar (such as after a meal) and decreasing the amount of sugar your liver makes. If you use insulin, semaglutide is not a substitute for insulin treatment.   (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA) FDA Approval Date: 2017-12-05

 3  High A1C Usually 3 hours after taking the injection, I am unusually sleepy & freezing. I'm hot natured so this is new to me. I sleep most of the afternoon with lots of blankets. I feel like I've been drugged with a sleep aid. Any advice? The injection doesn't hurt. I've lost 14.5 pounds, my daily bs went from 280+ down to 90-120. Getting ready to have my A1C checked. That will give me answer if it's working. F 54 5 weeks

 4  to lower A1C Similar side effects as others, Nausea, Gas, Acid Reflex, maybe Diarrhea but it may come from Metformin. At .25 ml dose these side effects lasted four hour once a week, Increased dosage to 1.0 and side effects last 15 hours straight once a week. Does reduce appetite and causes weight loss. Has lower A1C from 7.0 to 6.5. Have loss 20 pounds. Now within 7 pounds of normal BMI. But side effects are lengthening in duration, maybe due to lower weight versus dosage used. But side effects when they show up have affected productivity at work. M 63 4 months

 3  Diabetes and weight loss I am often nauseous and have diarrhea daily. I vomit every day, or retch. I feel dizzy sometimes, and I have lost all desire for food. I have developed an oral aversion to food. I try to eat, but eat little. Drink water and diet soda. I am losing weight so that is good. F 62 1 months

 4  Type 2 diabetes and weight loss - Huccup burps (feeling like it's stuck) - Heartburn every morning - Diarrhea every morning - Throw up once every few weeks - No appetite - All food turns my stomach I have a love-hate relationship with ozempic. I was put on it March 5th 2020 at .25mg and was supposed to bump it to .5mg the following month but I couldn't tolerate the heavy side effects so I immediately went back to the .25mg and most side effects slowed down. My blood sugars are corrected and I'm feeling healthier and more alert however, I miss food a lot and the remaining side effects are embarrassing such as loose stool when I visit family and friends or when I go camping lol. I'm seeing some weight loss around my jaw line and my legs and I'm hoping to drop more pounds as time goes on. F 29 3 months

 5  Antirejection drug raised bs Lowered bs immediately and curbed appetite. Loose stools for a couple of days after shot but got less every week. Fatigue faded after a week and when increased dose fatigue came back for a week. Worked better than any other meds or shots I’ve taken. Side effects have been about the same severity or better than other meds I’ve taken. They go away in time. I’ve had severe diabetes complications so the side effects are worth it to me and they go away. F 45 5 weeks

 4  Type 2 and Over weight Extreme fatigue for the first week, Insomnia, Slight yuckiness feeling from time to time (not really nauseous) I've noticed my yuckiness comes when sugar levels are normal. I guess it's possible because I'm used to running high. There's been times that it's actually been slightly low. The fatigue went away thankfully. It was debilitating. Had it not went away I would've had to stop taking it. It definitely curbs the appetite hard. I fix my usual plate and can't hardly eat half of it. I'm supposed to raise my dose at 4 wks to .5. I'm going to talk to my Dr about that. I'm not sure it's necessary for me. M 45 17 days

 5  High blood sugar and overweight I started at .25mg for 4 weeks, working up to 1mg after another 12 weeks. At that time, after 4 months, I began suffering from extreme gas both upper (awful sulphur-like smell) and lower, and was put back to .5mg dose which seemed to ease it for a while, but I'm now back to extreme gas both ends! Not nice even though I live alone! However, I lost my appetite for about the first 6 months, and lost about 30lbs, going from 13st, down 4 dress sizes to 10st 8lbs. I'm going to check in with doc next week about the gas problem. Blood sugar readings dropped substantially. Very easy to use, and very happy about the weight loss. However, not happy about the gas!

 5  Weight loss Nausea, brain fog, lethargy for the first month. Decreased food cravings. Side effects subsided and I have lost 30 lbs. I am no longer physically able to binge eat therefore lost the weight. Zofran helped with the nausea. Do not eat all the food on your plate to reduce risk of nausea after meals. F 36 5 months
