I’ve been on ozempic for 9 months now. I’ve lost 25 pounds to date. My a1c went from 7.5 to 6.0 after 3 months at which point I stopped taking Glipizide. My a1c did bump up to 7.0 but making adjustments to diet to manage that. I’m pleased with how effective it has been. It’s nice not to feel hungry all the time.
I have been using various GLP-1 for 20 years. I also lost 35-40 lbs initially but eventually normal hunger returned slowly over the years, so it pays to be vigilant. I've had to add insulin, EMPAGLIFLOZIN, Metformin. Cardiovascular exercise helps immensely to keep the weight off. However the insulin causes weight GAIN. Flexible strategy is required.
How do you tell what your supposed to take on the pan versus the Needle? Like how do I measure out .25mg when using the pens? Do I go by the numbers on the end and if so how and what is the deal with the number of clicks? So basically I don't know how to measure out the right dosage using depends. I have three different types of insulin that are in the pens and I am just seeing that I may be measuring it wrong
@@christyray6493 I suggest, for your safety, contact your Physician and ask them for an appointment to come in an show you HOW to do what you need done. Blessings!
After 8 months of Ozempic I have lost 54.5kg - 120lbs the side effects are tough and sometimes come in waves but its worth stickign through it. Recently I havent really felt the appetite suppression but I have also adjusted how I eat so I dont think I eat as much as I used to. My blood levels are also no longer diabtetic
@@onesteptochrist8300 I started on .25 and built up to one. I started seeing results straight away but i also worked really hard on cutting down food and only eating low sugar foods

Do you ever wonder what’s gonna happen when you stop taking the medication? Will your hunger come back will you go back to old habits? That’s the only problem I have with this is that once it’s off you don’t get hunger suppression. Basically you have to be on this for the rest of your life perhaps
I have recently gone up to the 0.5mg dose. I’ve been losing 1kg a week so far. Only side effects I’ve had is some constipation and diarrhoea.It’s changed my life for the better
@@msheidiho2004 it can be used for either. It was initially used for diabetics but they noticed it had the effect of patients losing weight, so they have done studies on it for weightloss.
I’m on Ozempic and I NEED IT BECAUSE IM DIABETIC. I have major complications due to diabetes. BUT I’d like to thank the millions of people using it for cosmetic weight loss because I’m having trouble getting the medication I need to stay alive so everyone can fit in their swimsuits this year. Thx to all those millions of people I really appreciate the fact I couldn’t get my medicine this month
As a diabetic patient I have recently been put on Ozempic and hava had some further questions and your presentation on ozempic was very very knowledgeable and I learned a lot and I just want to thank you for your wonderful presentation on Olympic!
In one year on Ozempic i lost 45 kg, my blood sugar is 5,4 and i feel my self so good. Yes ,side effects exist, but the result worth it! I still have to loose about 80 kg and i will 🌝
@@reneedonovanthisvacuumisus1911 i am from Latvia and for woman sugar in blood more then 5.5 its the sugar diabet tipe II. Mine a year ago was from 7 to 11 in the morning, but now it is 5.4 :-) i dont do insulin injection (never did) but i take metformine or glukophazh (if i write it right) so i do very very well!!! My weight in the beginning was 225, now i am 178 :-) so happy and still have to do!
@@sidzy79 side effects - 1. you never can eat later then 6pm and at 6pm your food should not be heavy - otherwise it will stay with you all night in your stomachs fresh and untouched 😁😁😁 better last time to eat at 5pm or even 4:30. Trust me. 2. Junk food - will stoped your stomach for 24 hours and you will suffer and burp with rotten eggs all day long 3. Often ur stomach will burn in night - but again if you will eat much and late. (Later then 6pm) and no matter if you go to sleep at 11pm or 12 - you will pay for you habbits ;-) So the medicine will teach you how to eat, what to eat, when and how much - and it is very good. Dont be affraid of it, you gained your weight by years and you have to pay for it :-) i did and keep doing! I still have to lost at list 80 kg ;-)
Thank you fir this informative information. I was just handed the sample and how to inject it with very little other information by my nurse practitioner. This really helped me to understand it. Sincerely, D. Chaney.
I am only on my second week of Ozempic. My blood sugars took a drastic dive post 24hrs after my first injection. I am getting consistent readings between 5 and 6.5. Previously my readings were anything from 6.5 to 15 Hba1c 7.5. I am also on insulin which I really didn't think was working and my endo just kept increasing the dose every 3 months. Now I have had to drop my insulin way down!!! I just can't believe how well it has worked for me in such a short period of time. I must admit my diet has improved. No cravings at all and only able to eat really small amounts. The fullness feeling is amazing. And only time I feel sick is when I have that extra too many mouthfuls. So I have recognised when to stop eating. Weight loss is a bonus... but glucose control is my main reason for using Oz. Lost 2.9kg 1st week and 2kg 2nd week. I also have liver cirrhosis so really hoping I can reverse that at least to some extent. 🤞 . Thank you for your time in sharing this video. 😊
This is very informative. I think US doctors are not prescribing correctly as there was not any mention of the 4 weeks at .25 and no mention of the 5 weeks for it to work in the system my physician started me on the 1.25 dose and after 4 weeks I had a pancreatitus attack. I stopped it, watched some videos about it and asked if I could get the pen with the .25 and .5 dose. I only did the .25 for 2 weeks then .5 for 2 and now 1.0 but I am considering going down to .5 and see if after 4 or 5 weeks that will be sufficient. It is just very disappointing to know that this is a very successful treatment and would be even more so if prescribed correctly. Maybe it is just my doctor. Thank you for this video and the information.
I was started off slow , got to 50 MG for a couple weeks , ended up horribly sick and thought it was a pancreatitis attack however all the results came back good so now I have to restart all over again after a 3 week break .
Thank you for sharing your information on the injection. I’m on it to loose weight. I don’t have diabetes but it’s in my family and I don’t want to get to that point. Started last week on minimum dose. Feeling a little nauseous but will persevere. Is there a diet I can follow? I know I’m suppose to have little to no carbs but life would be easier to follow a diet. Thanks again Dr
Thank you Dr Sultani. I started ozampic for weight loss. I injected 0.25mg for 1st time today. I don't feel any thing at this stage. I am abit nervous, I hope it work for me. I have put on 20kg over 13 years. Due to coronic nerve pain, I wasn't able to loss weight. I did try hard over years,to loss weight. It's trail and error for me.
I recvd a lot of calls from cliemts asking if ozempic is covered or not? Now I understand on how important Ozempic is,the good thing is most of the time it is covered.
Thank you for share your knonolodge an experience. I had saxenda few years ago but I mixed with alcohol 🙈 so obviously no results. Now, I am doing everything correctly. I have been having ozempic. I had 69lg and reached out 60kg in 3 months. I am 41yo 1.67cm or 5’6. I am very happy.. unfortubately I have to stop this second cycle soon and keep the diet by myself without any help. Just my mindset 🤷🏽♀️
Thank you for this informative video I have been using Ozempic for about 2 years now very happy with the results,in my blood sugar and a1c Also had a weight loss It took my body 9 weeks to adjust to the medicine, felt yucky like morning sickness for me That was the only negative side affect I had I'm very great full for the advances in diabetic medicine
pammy mustang I agree. It’s impressive as a treatment and on the horizon are a number new developments that will make the diabetes journey easier and safer. Well done
I talked to my doctor about weight loss and she gave me ozempic. I have been on it for a week doing a 0.25 dose and have already lost 7lbs. Haven’t had any side effects.
@@nataliedavidov4630 just protein and veggies. Sometimes depending on how I feel I will do 2 protein shakes one for breakfast and one for lunch with healthy snacks in between and end the day with a healthy meal.
@@ashleighdsylva The only side effect I have had has been constipation. I have lost 7 more pounds in week 2. I skipped last Tuesday because I had COVID and I wasn’t sure it was smart to take it while I was sick. But I do take my third dose tomorrow.
I have just started Ozempic, it’s been 3 weeks now. The first week I had really bad nausea but hearing you explain everything, I’ve realised that it was just the sense of over eating fullness. I’ve had type 2 diabetes for over 10 years now. I got diagnosed when I was about 19. The issue is that, no amount of doctors, diabetes specialists, endocrinologists have figured out if it’s type 2 diabetes or type 1. I don’t have family history of diabetes but my brother has type 1 diabetes. The only 2 medications that have worked for me so far to keep my sugar levels under control are insulin both short acting and long acting and trulicity, with insulin I gain a lot of weight. I also just wanted to ask is there a chance that I could have type 1 diabetes? If you could please tell me what sort of tests I should get done to rule this out. I would really appreciate it. Thank you.
I am not diabetic, but doing some research on Ozempic before I start taking it for Menopause weight gain. But i did just watch some good videos by “The Hangry Woman” who said she had type 1.5 diabetes, between 1 & 2. May be worth finding out about her diabetes journey.
Thank you. You explained this so I can understand how it works. I have it. I have not been consistent in taking it. I am going to give this an honest try now.
This Thursday will be my third shot. .25 The first week, severe nausea and stomach cramps, nothing now. No appetite, yet I eat my meals. I dont finish them, I get full on half of what I used to eat. 6lbs down, but I'm not puffy, tight and can pull my skin and there is slack, before too tight couldn't get anything to pull. My mood swings are going away, and I am getting more energy.
Thanks for the info, I am using Victoza for last 6 months and i lost 20kg and I am 42 male with diabetes 2 and even my suger levels are low and I am feeling more energized, i started with .6 then after 2 weeks I move to 1.2 then 1.8 and now I am on 2.4 which ok dose for me, because 3.0 was bit to much for me! Hope all of you stay healthy
@@waseemullahkhan which one worked better for you? Victoza or Ozempic? I tried victoza for 2 months but got zero results. Now thinking of either going for bariatric surgery or Ozempic
I started this week with ozempic 1mg, and I noticed I'm not so hungry is really efectiva so far and already reduced bredfast penicillin At the moment I'm quite happy. I took trulicity before for I year and I was a gas factory and very embarrassing.
I'm on 0,5 mg now, month three in total. I started with 0,25 mg for four weeks. Interesting with the delayed effect, I haven't read or been told anything about that. I'm going to read the information again on Ozempic 😸 No side effects now, just not as hungry as before, and not so addicted to sweets as I used to. I think it's great, loste some weight and blood sugar level has dropped a bit. But it is to high, I'll wait and see 😺
I am using Ozempic from last 1 year and so, First it was 0.25MG was effective then slowly need to go little higher to 0.5MG now I am on 1MG does per week. As its clear that doses becoming ineffective after certain period of time. What will happen when 1MG does is not enough? I quit Ozempic for some time because it was causing lots of upper stomach pain. In that period of time I clearly saw that it creates dependency because after quitting Ozempic blood sugar levels go really high. Kindly advise.
We live in New Orleans. The doctor who originally diagnosed Ric years ago (40!) is an endocrinologist. He partnered with Ric in keeping him, so far with good A1C #s...and hubby has had no neuropathy or problems. However his numbers are not as good as they were, say..two years ago. There can be many reasons of course. But he was hesitant when Ozempic first was suggested (a year or so ago) because of 'sticking him with a needle.' The Doctors now remind him that the benefits of this particular injection method can far outweigh the 'scaries'...so it's straight ahead for us. (BTW I got elected to do his injection)...
Thank you for this informative video Dr Linjawi. I have just been prescribed Ozempic from my doctor. My fingers are crossed and I hope this will be beneficial. I am 5 '10 and weighing 270 lbs. My weight has been steady for several months. A1C was at 11 about 5 months ago. I will post an update in the next few months. Happy Holidays!
@@MyHealthExplained Hi since starting OZempic it has suppressed my over eating lowers my BG levels . The only side effect that shows no sign of going is continuous burping and taste and smell of eggs. Does this go away
You mentioned that it may take up 5 weeks to work. Am I stopping the insulin during that time or am going to use it til the 5 weeks. Thanks, very helpful video.
I’ve been taking this for 4 weeks at .25. It’s very important to note that I’m taking it for weight loss only. My endocrinologist prescribed it. The first couple of weeks were hard as I was very nauseated. For me, I’ve noticed that anything even a bit spicy will make me sick to my stomach for half the day. Even spaghetti sauce. Peanut butter is another hard food. I eat a very bland diet right now and if I start to feel nauseated but not hungry, I’ll eat like 10-15 animal crackers. Just plain ones. Seems to settle the stomach some. And a little Sprite can help. But the nausea does get better. At least, by week four it has for me. I had to hang in there for the first 2-3 weeks. Week four has been surprisingly better. This is just my experience.♥️
@@nursejen1111 I went back to .25mg this week. I couldn’t stand the side effects anymore at .50. I was vomiting every day and so sick to my stomach. It was getting worse weekly. I can’t keep up at that rate. I hope this helps. I love you’re idea and will probably try that in a couple weeks once I get rid of some of this nausea. Thanks for the tip!❤️
I just started week three and feel the same way. Week two was the worst, the Nausea almost had me saying forget it. Ita been better this week but have Little to no appetite, and once I start to eat a few bite are satisfying and enough
I've been on it for about a month now, no side effects because I micro dose it! Your doctor won't likely tell you this but you can start with half the dose they tell you to start with and gradually build up to the .25mg.
Thank you for share your knowledge, doc! I am obese, type 2 diabetic, my blood levels are all under control, but I am in a weightloss journey. I've been facing hard time with some binge eating episodes not scheduled in my meal plan. So, I received the suggestion to try Ozempic, with the main goal to keep focus on my diet and decrease or even avoid the binge eating episodes. My question is: is Ozempic also designed to be a kickstart tool and, if I decide to get rid of it, I can do well OR in your experience, is this the kind of med people need to use it for eternity?
Both are possible...if you use it to lose weight you will need less diabetes medications. Some people are able to then either get off the medication or lower the dose to a maintaince level quite successfully. It really is affected by the approach you take so good luck
Thank you Dr for your information. I just came to know today that I am type 2 diabetic and I feel sad. I and going to take this injection and control my diet. Please let me know if there is serious side effects affects to this medicine
It's been two days since I took my first dose of Trulicity. The only problem I'm experiencing is low energy and tiredness due to reduce food intake. This is impacting my workout routine since I need energy to perform HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) through Cycling or running. With reduced appetite or no carbs in belly, I have no energy left to run for 10 km or endurance training. Any help or feedback would be appreciated.
I didn't lose but about 10 lb in 10 months with trulicity. However after I had been taking it for about a year and a half I became very very weak I had no idea it was the trulicity that was causing it. But the same thing had happened to my brother and he told me to stop taking it. As soon as I stopped taking it it took about 4 weeks and I was back to normal. Then I started taking those Ozempic. I've lost 45 lb in 9 months and sometimes I feel weak but not usually. I am often a little nauseated and if I eat too much I will throw up. Also the taste of food is different and I don't desire food the way I used to.
I started taking ozempic about 6 months ago but I started to have side effects from it the worst was stomachaches and alot of burping but I quit taking it for 2 weeks then my sugar started to go up again ,then I thought I would try it again but the same symptoms came back so I quit taking it altogether but now i watch what i eat so it went back to 6 to 9 which isn't bad it works for some people but not everyone
I've never injected myself before with medication I started ozempic only 1 week ago lost 1.2kg on 0.25 I've followed instructions no pain at all on injection site. I ate food then injected no ill side affect just woke up really thirsty first night keep fluids up,the rest of the days waking up less thirsty. I'm.suprised I lost weight first week I have type 2 diabetes
I am on it for weight loss and its brilliant really brilliant. Im a fussy eater, so eat healthy. For eg never burgers chips ever. But through menopause I put on weight , and nothing budged it NOTHING. But this injection I have lost just over 5 kgs which for me is fantastic, and I am on .5 . Script will be 1 mgm? for I next time but Im happy to maybe stay on .5 as now Im just getting over side effects. I just makes you feel full all the time so when you eat you make sure it contains everything you need, eg protien vitamins etc. You cerainly can't eat heavy meals. AGAIN BRILLIANT , EXSPENSIVE AT $ 127 AUSSIE DOLLARS BUT HAPPY TO PAY THAT PER MONTH FOR THE RESULTS.
I save that amount on the food I don’t eat a month. Well worth it. And the health benefits will be priceless - I’m fortunate to be able to afford it. We are also lucky to live in Australia where medications are subsidised.
Hey I'm Aussie as well and I've lost 8kgs in just 3 and a half weeks, stopped my sugar cravings and over eating and I've had no side effects on. 25 mg per week and I'm doing lots of walking which is the key. For anyone with side effects they just need to push through them to get the same awesome results as we have. I pay $131 from chemist warehouse for the pen with 4 shots
Thank You,for this Information. This is my first week of Ozempic, I, have notice i'm not hungry all the time as I was on Trulicity, i hope to write yoy back in one month to see my progress🌿
So, how are you doing after one month? I started one week ago and I’ve already lost over 5 kg. It might of course be water etc etc but it really is doing something!
Hi Sir, I would like to find out about the injection as I'm currently taking 0.25ml Ozempic but I really don't know I am taking right way or not as I can see there are injunction is left. If the injection is left after 4 weeks, can I still take with same needle?
I went from 0.25 to 0.5 & onto 1 mg with side effects beginning with 1 mg dose of constipation & gases which require secondary drugs to counter these effects. So far after around 4 months I have dropped around 5 kg.
@@sidzy79 yes you may be right. However, I was told to expect to be able to drop up to 10% of my weight prior to taking Ozempic so beginning at around 80 kg could expect around 8 kg loss. the first month was at 0.25 mg & the second was 0.5 mg so did not expect to see results as my body became used to the drug. I also had a period of time when I would normally have gained several kilos so instead of gaining I lost. But I seem to have hit another wall & must weigh up the negative side effects of Ozampic for me on its continued use. It has not reduced my desire to eat but it has affected portion size. so i must try harder to reduce my intake no magic here then.
I am indigenous and my doctor thinks that my Type 2 Diabetes is more hereditary than anything. I started Ozempic at the beginning of March. After chatting with others who have used the same medication I seem to have not only more side effects but far more severe side effects. I was directed to start with .25 for 4 weeks and then .5 for 4 weeks and finally 1mg dose. I am still feeling a fair number of side effects and they are quite intrusive. Will they ever resolve? I have lost 40lbs at this point and while that is pretty impressive I have days where I am incapacitated by my side effects. My biggest fear is if I now stop the Ozempic am I going to gain back all of the weight if I am switched over to insulin?
You will most definitely gain it back if you are on the standard American diet. You need to switch to a low carbohydrate diet in order to maintain the results. If your diabetic, sugar/carbs are the devil and you should stay away from it at all costs. If you stay under 50 g of carbs per day you probably will not gain any weight. You might be able to slide with a hundred assuming you're super active.
@@user-gy8co5qy2z that's no good, my side effects have completely gone now after 3 weeks and the weight is dropping off me.. Since the 22nd of September I've lost 9 kgs, so hang in there and stay on a low dose of 0.25mg like me cos it actually works and things will get better for you. Don't give up yet when your so close to seeing results? I gave up sugar and now weight is dropping off. Good luck
@@galynastatkevych8490 I feel that I have also a light problem with the eyes.. but I am in the first week with 0.25! it seems I see little bit worse...
Why are your online coupons not allowed to be used by people with Medicare and Advantage supplements. It's hard to pay $300.00 a month for this medicine on a fixed income. 😫
I took it for 4 weeks, pulse was accelerated all the time to 90 min , What is the case with sideeffect on retina? I already have a diabetes retinopatia and i read that it cannot be taken if you have problems with diabetic retina problems.
@Arshad Ismail I knew about these problems and asked him about this side effect and he answered that this occurs only in few patients, not to worry. BUT i did not take it anymore. Too much risk i think. I use traditional Jardiance 2 x 25mg daily now which holds my diabetes 2 stable between 130 and 160, avoiding noodles, Rice and bread.
Type 2 here, been on ozempic .25mg for about 3 months. Lost 12 pounds with no exercise. It suppresses my hunger and helps me to not over eat. I havnt noticed any side effects. I take my insulin before every meal. And take a long acting insulin at bedtime. Metformin twice a day. My blood glucose average is a steady 116. After I eat goes up to 150. Havnt went over 200 since starting ozempic. My a1c has always been decent 5.7 to 6.4. Been type 2 that I know of since June 2020
I started (and could have continued) using a 0,25 ml dose, my doctor liked the speed my blood sugar was falling, but we decided to increase the dose to 0,5 because of the weight loss aspect
I am a Type 2 diabetic and have been on Ozempic for 2 months. I have had weight loss and appetite but my blood sugars are higher than when I was under Lantus and Apidra. I take Tressiba daily. My Ozempic dosage is .5 - is it possible that I might need the higher dosage?
Thank you for the great info. I have been on Victoza for about 6 years and it suddenly stopped working. We decided to try ozempic, since it is the same class of drug do you think it will work?
Ihave had reflux and severe constipation i Am taking many different medication too .after two years i am going to stop Ozempic lost 10 kilo but I could not eat and digest meat with ozempic sense 0fsmelling become strong for me I could not stand smell of food especial meat
My daughter has Prader willie Syndrome has Ozempic been approved for Prader-willie? Because they do not produce enough GOP1 which causes them to always feel hungry. My daughter is very high functioning
My father took 4 injections in total over 4 weeks of OZEMPIC 0.25 mg (1 injection per week) he has been experiencing side effects for 1 week (vomiting, loss of appetite, extreme fatigue, etc.). can you tell me how long the side effects last? We saw, thanks to your video and comments, that side effects are inevitable. But how long the side effects last ?
Side affects go away in 1-2 weeks for a given dose. I did have side affect only 1-2 days after taking the shot. So I took the shot on friday nights, so I can sleep them off during the weekend. Now I am at 1ml per week dose. I have been taking it for 6 months. 15 kg less without any exercise or dieting. Its a fantastic med. My insulin dosages disappeared.
Ive been taking ozempic for 7 mos. I lost 30lbs A1c was 8.5 now its 5.8 but it stopped suppressing my appetite so my dr up it to 1mg two weeks ago I hope this works because I was 205 now Im 210 😢 I started use of ozempic at 242lbs
Okay so was taking ozempuc for 8 mos and was getting stomach pain and bloating.....on April. 30, I had to be hospitalized qith pancreatitis due to the ozempic, it was a very painful diagnosis, was in the hospital for a week, on morphine and zofran through an IV because I could not have anything by mouth to let my pancreas heal. 3 days nothing by mouth 4th day and 5th day liquids and 6th and 7th day solids, was tough due to still being bloated and still having some pain. Pay close attention to major side effects that can happen. Its not worth it. I know everyone is different, but just thought I would put it out there and help someone else who had stomach pain and doesn't know what it is. Was taking it for diabetes not weight loss.
I have been on this for 2 months .the side effects for me was extremely bad ,so my diabetic nurse has taken me of this and starting me on something else .I was very poorly on this
I used Ozempic for three months, even I lost weight the side effects were really terrible. Nausea, vomit, stomach ache, etc. I felt sick all the time. Is there a way to reduce the sympthoms? Because is the only medication that help me to loose weight and reduce my glucose levels in blood.
Yes! Its called Micro dosing! I started with 10 clicks! .25mg is 18 clicks. Every week I increase by 2 clicks and I've had no side effects. Its a slower weight loss but you're able to avoid vomiting.
I agree…I’m normally a once a day eater anyways and this thing made me sick as hell!! Nausea, vomiting, constant indigestion!! Ugh!! It was so bad I couldn’t eat period cause it would make me sick!! I wasn’t eating for 3-4 days at a time which can’t be good either!! Omg I stopped taking that after about a month…I never felt good
Overweight for most of my life, food addict, prediabetic, both parents died from stroke. I can't thank enough for Ozempic, it's a game changer for me.
It worked for me within 3 days. Never had anything reduce my hunger like this in my life
I’ve been on ozempic for 9 months now. I’ve lost 25 pounds to date. My a1c went from 7.5 to 6.0 after 3 months at which point I stopped taking Glipizide. My a1c did bump up to 7.0 but making adjustments to diet to manage that. I’m pleased with how effective it has been. It’s nice not to feel hungry all the time.
I have been using various GLP-1 for 20 years. I also lost 35-40 lbs initially but eventually normal hunger returned slowly over the years, so it pays to be vigilant. I've had to add insulin, EMPAGLIFLOZIN, Metformin. Cardiovascular exercise helps immensely to keep the weight off. However the insulin causes weight GAIN. Flexible strategy is required.
How do you tell what your supposed to take on the pan versus the Needle? Like how do I measure out .25mg when using the pens? Do I go by the numbers on the end and if so how and what is the deal with the number of clicks? So basically I don't know how to measure out the right dosage using depends. I have three different types of insulin that are in the pens and I am just seeing that I may be measuring it wrong
@@waynehasch5978 so did I gain the weight back eventually despite being on GLP 1 injections ?

After 8 months of Ozempic I have lost 54.5kg - 120lbs the side effects are tough and sometimes come in waves but its worth stickign through it. Recently I havent really felt the appetite suppression but I have also adjusted how I eat so I dont think I eat as much as I used to. My blood levels are also no longer diabtetic

Do you ever wonder what’s gonna happen when you stop taking the medication? Will your hunger come back will you go back to old habits? That’s the only problem I have with this is that once it’s off you don’t get hunger suppression. Basically you have to be on this for the rest of your life perhaps
I have recently gone up to the 0.5mg dose. I’ve been losing 1kg a week so far. Only side effects I’ve had is some constipation and diarrhoea.It’s changed my life for the better
Hi, does this make you nauseas/vomit?
@@user-wg8yk4do3l is it for weigh loss or diabetic
thanks
@@msheidiho2004 it can be used for either. It was initially used for diabetics but they noticed it had the effect of patients losing weight, so they have done studies on it for weightloss.
I’m on Ozempic and I NEED IT BECAUSE IM DIABETIC. I have major complications due to diabetes. BUT I’d like to thank the millions of people using it for cosmetic weight loss because I’m having trouble getting the medication I need to stay alive so everyone can fit in their swimsuits this year. Thx to all those millions of people I really appreciate the fact I couldn’t get my medicine this month
As a diabetic patient I have recently been put on Ozempic and hava had some further questions and your presentation on ozempic was very very knowledgeable and I learned a lot and I just want to thank you for your wonderful presentation on Olympic!
In one year on Ozempic i lost 45 kg, my blood sugar is 5,4 and i feel my self so good. Yes ,side effects exist, but the result worth it! I still have to loose about 80 kg and i will 🌝
What are the side effects you have faced?
You mean your A1C is 5.4 right?
@@reneedonovanthisvacuumisus1911 i am from Latvia and for woman sugar in blood more then 5.5 its the sugar diabet tipe II.

My weight in the beginning was 225, now i am 178 :-) so happy and still have to do!
@@sidzy79 side effects - 1. you never can eat later then 6pm and at 6pm your food should not be heavy - otherwise it will stay with you all night in your stomachs fresh and untouched 😁😁😁 better last time to eat at 5pm or even 4:30. Trust me. 2. Junk food - will stoped your stomach for 24 hours and you will suffer and burp with rotten eggs all day long 3. Often ur stomach will burn in night - but again if you will eat much and late. (Later then 6pm) and no matter if you go to sleep at 11pm or 12 - you will pay for you habbits ;-)
So the medicine will teach you how to eat, what to eat, when and how much - and it is very good. Dont be affraid of it, you gained your weight by years and you have to pay for it :-) i did and keep doing! I still have to lost at list 80 kg ;-)

The best explanation of Ozempic. Thank you Dr Sultan. 👍
I am only on my second week of Ozempic. My blood sugars took a drastic dive post 24hrs after my first injection. I am getting consistent readings between 5 and 6.5. Previously my readings were anything from 6.5 to 15 Hba1c 7.5. I am also on insulin which I really didn't think was working and my endo just kept increasing the dose every 3 months. Now I have had to drop my insulin way down!!! I just can't believe how well it has worked for me in such a short period of time. I must admit my diet has improved. No cravings at all and only able to eat really small amounts. The fullness feeling is amazing. And only time I feel sick is when I have that extra too many mouthfuls. So I have recognised when to stop eating. Weight loss is a bonus... but glucose control is my main reason for using Oz. Lost 2.9kg 1st week and 2kg 2nd week. I also have liver cirrhosis so really hoping I can reverse that at least to some extent. 🤞 . Thank you for your time in sharing this video. 😊
Look into dr. Jason fung
Been on it for a year and a half now. Blood sugar levels have been stable since being on it. Really good medication, shame I can never find it...
It does work for loosing weight I tried it several months ago and chopped over 2 inches in my waist ! I had no side effects ...........great stuff
I actually lost so much weight due to this. I was so happy. My ac one is now even better then my doctors. 😇. I love this
very clear and understandable video. thanks a lot.
This is very informative. I think US doctors are not prescribing correctly as there was not any mention of the 4 weeks at .25 and no mention of the 5 weeks for it to work in the system my physician started me on the 1.25 dose and after 4 weeks I had a pancreatitus attack. I stopped it, watched some videos about it and asked if I could get the pen with the .25 and .5 dose. I only did the .25 for 2 weeks then .5 for 2 and now 1.0 but I am considering going down to .5 and see if after 4 or 5 weeks that will be sufficient. It is just very disappointing to know that this is a very successful treatment and would be even more so if prescribed correctly. Maybe it is just my doctor. Thank you for this video and the information.
My doctor had me do .25 for 4 weeks then .50. You need a new doctor maybe. That’s very dangerous what they had you do. Hope u are ok.
I was started off slow , got to 50 MG for a couple weeks , ended up horribly sick and thought it was a pancreatitis attack however all the results came back good so now I have to restart all over again after a 3 week break .
Thank you for sharing your information on the injection. I’m on it to loose weight. I don’t have diabetes but it’s in my family and I don’t want to get to that point. Started last week on minimum dose. Feeling a little nauseous but will persevere. Is there a diet I can follow? I know I’m suppose to have little to no carbs but life would be easier to follow a diet. Thanks again Dr

Thank you Dr Sultani. I started ozampic for weight loss. I injected 0.25mg for 1st time today. I don't feel any thing at this stage. I am abit nervous, I hope it work for me. I have put on 20kg over 13 years.
Due to coronic nerve pain, I wasn't able to loss weight. I did try hard over years,to loss weight. It's trail and error for me.
Thanks, really very helpful information
I started it only today
Hope it is working. It does take 4-6 months to really get going so be patient.
I recvd a lot of calls from cliemts asking if ozempic is covered or not? Now I understand on how important Ozempic is,the good thing is most of the time it is covered.
Thank you for share your knonolodge an experience. I had saxenda few years ago but I mixed with alcohol 🙈 so obviously no results. Now, I am doing everything correctly. I have been having ozempic. I had 69lg and reached out 60kg in 3 months. I am 41yo 1.67cm or 5’6. I am very happy.. unfortubately I have to stop this second cycle soon and keep the diet by myself without any help. Just my mindset 🤷🏽♀️

I went from 106 kg to 90 kg in just three months, and I'm still going down. Haven't been under 100 kg in over ten years.
Outstanding!!
What dosage you take?
I went from 124kg to 112kg in almost 3 months. Pleased.
I'm 2 months and a half months on ozempic. Lost 29lbs :)
I have just started Ozempic, it’s been 3 weeks now. The first week I had really bad nausea but hearing you explain everything, I’ve realised that it was just the sense of over eating fullness.
I’ve had type 2 diabetes for over 10 years now. I got diagnosed when I was about 19. The issue is that, no amount of doctors, diabetes specialists, endocrinologists have figured out if it’s type 2 diabetes or type 1. I don’t have family history of diabetes but my brother has type 1 diabetes.
The only 2 medications that have worked for me so far to keep my sugar levels under control are insulin both short acting and long acting and trulicity, with insulin I gain a lot of weight.
I also just wanted to ask is there a chance that I could have type 1 diabetes? If you could please tell me what sort of tests I should get done to rule this out.
I would really appreciate it.
Thank you.
I am not diabetic, but doing some research on Ozempic before I start taking it for Menopause weight gain. But i did just watch some good videos by “The Hangry Woman” who said she had type 1.5 diabetes, between 1 & 2. May be worth finding out about her diabetes journey.

This Thursday will be my third shot. .25 The first week, severe nausea and stomach cramps, nothing now. No appetite, yet I eat my meals. I dont finish them, I get full on half of what I used to eat. 6lbs down, but I'm not puffy, tight and can pull my skin and there is slack, before too tight couldn't get anything to pull. My mood swings are going away, and I am getting more energy.
sounds like you are making progress 👏

I have been on this now for 4 months and have lost 8.5kg
I have had no side affects only a lower appetite
I'm on 0,5 mg now, month three in total. I started with 0,25 mg for four weeks.
Interesting with the delayed effect, I haven't read or been told anything about that.
I'm going to read the information again on Ozempic 😸
No side effects now, just not as hungry as before, and not so addicted to sweets as I used to.
I think it's great, loste some weight and blood sugar level has dropped a bit. But it is to high, I'll wait and see 😺
This sounds too good to be true
Go to the video "Ozempic Side Effects" by Pharmacist Online... read the comments from people who have taken it... not good.
I am using Ozempic from last 1 year and so, First it was 0.25MG was effective then slowly need to go little higher to 0.5MG now I am on 1MG does per week. As its clear that doses becoming ineffective after certain period of time. What will happen when 1MG does is not enough?
I quit Ozempic for some time because it was causing lots of upper stomach pain. In that period of time I clearly saw that it creates dependency because after quitting Ozempic blood sugar levels go really high.
Kindly advise.
Best Ozempic video I have seen so far. Thank you
Why thank you 😊
@@MyHealthExplained the video is short, correct, informative 🙏
Very helpful and informative.
We live in New Orleans. The doctor who originally diagnosed Ric years ago (40!) is an endocrinologist. He partnered with Ric in keeping him, so far with good A1C #s...and hubby has had no neuropathy or problems. However his numbers are not as good as they were, say..two years ago. There can be many reasons of course. But he was hesitant when Ozempic first was suggested (a year or so ago) because of 'sticking him with a needle.' The Doctors now remind him that the benefits of this particular injection method can far outweigh the 'scaries'...so it's straight ahead for us. (BTW I got elected to do his injection)...
the shots are no big deal - really can barely feel them! I've lost 80 lbs and feel great, problem now is cost on Medicare, $226 per mo - too high!!
Thank you for this informative video Dr Linjawi. I have just been prescribed Ozempic from my doctor. My fingers are crossed and I hope this will be beneficial. I am 5 '10 and weighing 270 lbs.

@@MyHealthExplained Hi since starting OZempic it has suppressed my over eating lowers my BG levels . The only side effect that shows no sign of going is continuous burping and taste and smell of eggs. Does this go away
You mentioned that it may take up 5 weeks to work. Am I stopping the insulin during that time or am going to use it til the 5 weeks. Thanks, very helpful video.
I normally recommend continuing insulin for at least a few weeks and testing to make sure all is going well. Many people need insulin and ozempic
Can you test your BS? And work with your prescribing doc. Good luck!
I’ve been taking this for 4 weeks at .25. It’s very important to note that I’m taking it for weight loss only. My endocrinologist prescribed it. The first couple of weeks were hard as I was very nauseated. For me, I’ve noticed that anything even a bit spicy will make me sick to my stomach for half the day. Even spaghetti sauce. Peanut butter is another hard food. I eat a very bland diet right now and if I start to feel nauseated but not hungry, I’ll eat like 10-15 animal crackers. Just plain ones. Seems to settle the stomach some. And a little Sprite can help. But the nausea does get better. At least, by week four it has for me. I had to hang in there for the first 2-3 weeks. Week four has been surprisingly better. This is just my experience.♥️
How much did you lose?
I've been micro dosing it, gradually increasing the dose by a few clicks each week to reduce side effects.
@@RememberTheLord I’m so sorry I missed your question. I’ve lost about 26 pounds.
@@nursejen1111 I went back to .25mg this week. I couldn’t stand the side effects anymore at .50. I was vomiting every day and so sick to my stomach. It was getting worse weekly. I can’t keep up at that rate. I hope this helps. I love you’re idea and will probably try that in a couple weeks once I get rid of some of this nausea. Thanks for the tip!❤️
I just started week three and feel the same way. Week two was the worst, the Nausea almost had me saying forget it. Ita been better this week but have Little to no appetite, and once I start to eat a few bite are satisfying and enough
Really valuable information!
Glad you think so!
Thanks for sharing
I took Ozempic for a couple of months. I was so nauseous that I had to stop.
I've been on it for about a month now, no side effects because I micro dose it! Your doctor won't likely tell you this but you can start with half the dose they tell you to start with and gradually build up to the .25mg.
Me too. I had to miss a lot of days of work because of severe vomiting and diarrhoea
@@lindaversil1121 I missed Thanksgiving last year.
Same here. Plus the constipation was horrible.
How long did the diarrhoea last??? Was it every week?
I was recommended by doctor for weight loss
Thank you for share your knowledge, doc! I am obese, type 2 diabetic, my blood levels are all under control, but I am in a weightloss journey. I've been facing hard time with some binge eating episodes not scheduled in my meal plan. So, I received the suggestion to try Ozempic, with the main goal to keep focus on my diet and decrease or even avoid the binge eating episodes. My question is: is Ozempic also designed to be a kickstart tool and, if I decide to get rid of it, I can do well OR in your experience, is this the kind of med people need to use it for eternity?
Both are possible...if you use it to lose weight you will need less diabetes medications. Some people are able to then either get off the medication or lower the dose to a maintaince level quite successfully. It really is affected by the approach you take so good luck

Very good, thank you for this video
Thank you Dr for your information. I just came to know today that I am type 2 diabetic and I feel sad. I and going to take this injection and control my diet. Please let me know if there is serious side effects affects to this medicine
It's been two days since I took my first dose of Trulicity. The only problem I'm experiencing is low energy and tiredness due to reduce food intake. This is impacting my workout routine since I need energy to perform HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) through Cycling or running. With reduced appetite or no carbs in belly, I have no energy left to run for 10 km or endurance training. Any help or feedback would be appreciated.
Trulicity made me exhausted because it slows your digestion
I didn't lose but about 10 lb in 10 months with trulicity. However after I had been taking it for about a year and a half I became very very weak I had no idea it was the trulicity that was causing it. But the same thing had happened to my brother and he told me to stop taking it. As soon as I stopped taking it it took about 4 weeks and I was back to normal. Then I started taking those Ozempic. I've lost 45 lb in 9 months and sometimes I feel weak but not usually. I am often a little nauseated and if I eat too much I will throw up. Also the taste of food is different and I don't desire food the way I used to.
I started taking ozempic about 6 months ago but I started to have side effects from it the worst was stomachaches and alot of burping but I quit taking it for 2 weeks then my sugar started to go up again ,then I thought I would try it again but the same symptoms came back so I quit taking it altogether but now i watch what i eat so it went back to 6 to 9 which isn't bad it works for some people but not everyone
Did your burps smell?
Started this 2 days ago 0.25 already notice great reduction in blood sugar...no side effects so far .
great news. If you are planning to increase the dose take it nice and slow
A wonderful explanation of everything about this drug. Thank you very much.
Thank you Chrissy :)
Jost lowering apatite after 1 mg dose everything depends on you
I've never injected myself before with medication I started ozempic only 1 week ago lost 1.2kg on 0.25
I've followed instructions no pain at all on injection site.
I ate food then injected no ill side affect just woke up really thirsty first night keep fluids up,the rest of the days waking up less thirsty.
I'm.suprised I lost weight first week I have type 2 diabetes
I am on it for weight loss and its brilliant really brilliant. Im a fussy eater, so eat healthy. For eg never burgers chips ever. But through menopause I put on weight , and nothing budged it NOTHING. But this injection I have lost just over 5 kgs which for me is fantastic, and I am on .5 . Script will be 1 mgm? for I next time but Im happy to maybe stay on .5 as now Im just getting over side effects. I just makes you feel full all the time so when you eat you make sure it contains everything you need, eg protien vitamins etc. You cerainly can't eat heavy meals. AGAIN BRILLIANT , EXSPENSIVE AT $ 127 AUSSIE DOLLARS BUT HAPPY TO PAY THAT PER MONTH FOR THE RESULTS.

Hey I'm Aussie as well and I've lost 8kgs in just 3 and a half weeks, stopped my sugar cravings and over eating and I've had no side effects on. 25 mg per week and I'm doing lots of walking which is the key.

That was very helpful
Thank you for the feedback
I went from 0.25 to 0.5 & onto 1 mg with side effects beginning with 1 mg dose of constipation & gases which require secondary drugs to counter these effects. So far after around 4 months I have dropped around 5 kg.
Only 5kg in 4 months? Do you think it's worth a shot?
@@sidzy79 yes you may be right. However, I was told to expect to be able to drop up to 10% of my weight prior to taking Ozempic so beginning at around 80 kg could expect around 8 kg loss. the first month was at 0.25 mg & the second was 0.5 mg so did not expect to see results as my body became used to the drug. I also had a period of time when I would normally have gained several kilos so instead of gaining I lost. But I seem to have hit another wall & must weigh up the negative side effects of Ozampic for me on its continued use. It has not reduced my desire to eat but it has affected portion size. so i must try harder to reduce my intake no magic here then.

شكرا دكتور سلطان 🌹🌹
I am indigenous and my doctor thinks that my Type 2 Diabetes is more hereditary than anything. I started Ozempic at the beginning of March. After chatting with others who have used the same medication I seem to have not only more side effects but far more severe side effects. I was directed to start with .25 for 4 weeks and then .5 for 4 weeks and finally 1mg dose. I am still feeling a fair number of side effects and they are quite intrusive. Will they ever resolve? I have lost 40lbs at this point and while that is pretty impressive I have days where I am incapacitated by my side effects. My biggest fear is if I now stop the Ozempic am I going to gain back all of the weight if I am switched over to insulin?
What kind of side effects are you going through?
Also, does ozempic help in suppressing appetite?
You will most definitely gain it back if you are on the standard American diet. You need to switch to a low carbohydrate diet in order to maintain the results. If your diabetic, sugar/carbs are the devil and you should stay away from it at all costs. If you stay under 50 g of carbs per day you probably will not gain any weight. You might be able to slide with a hundred assuming you're super active.
Has anyone experienced dizziness and light headedness?
I have been on 2 weeks and never had symptoms like that before
I have exact the same effects
@@user-gy8co5qy2z that's no good, my side effects have completely gone now after 3 weeks and the weight is dropping off me..
Since the 22nd of September I've lost 9 kgs, so hang in there and stay on a low dose of 0.25mg like me cos it actually works and things will get better for you.
Don't give up yet when your so close to seeing results?
I gave up sugar and now weight is dropping off.
Good luck
@@Chelsea-hf1jm gang in there it gets easier and side effects go away.
@@user-gy8co5qy2z I have the same side effects plus problem with my eyes(((
@@galynastatkevych8490 I feel that I have also a light problem with the eyes.. but I am in the first week with 0.25! it seems I see little bit worse...
I'm about to start. How should I change my diet and what foods should I avoid?
I’ve been almost a month it’s really help me : I had know side effects
Good to hear....well done
Why are your online coupons not allowed to be used by people with Medicare and Advantage supplements. It's hard to pay $300.00 a month for this medicine on a fixed income. 😫
My Dr only gave me 1 month sample, I can't afford to stay on this medicine anymore!! Your coupons are for people with commercial health insurance!!!
I just started mine today
I took it for 4 weeks, pulse was accelerated all the time to 90 min , What is the case with sideeffect on retina? I already have a diabetes retinopatia and i read that it cannot be taken if you have problems with diabetic retina problems.
@Arshad Ismail I knew about these problems and asked him about this side effect and he answered that this occurs only in few patients, not to worry. BUT i did not take it anymore. Too much risk i think. I use traditional Jardiance 2 x 25mg daily now which holds my diabetes 2 stable between 130 and 160, avoiding noodles, Rice and bread.
@@bel.norbertsteininger8602 avoid pasta and sweets too?
Type 2 here, been on ozempic .25mg for about 3 months. Lost 12 pounds with no exercise. It suppresses my hunger and helps me to not over eat. I havnt noticed any side effects. I take my insulin before every meal. And take a long acting insulin at bedtime. Metformin twice a day. My blood glucose average is a steady 116. After I eat goes up to 150. Havnt went over 200 since starting ozempic. My a1c has always been decent 5.7 to 6.4. Been type 2 that I know of since June 2020
Excellent Presentation! Thank you!
I started (and could have continued) using a 0,25 ml dose, my doctor liked the speed my blood sugar was falling, but we decided to increase the dose to 0,5 because of the weight loss aspect
I am a Type 2 diabetic and have been on Ozempic for 2 months. I have had weight loss and appetite but my blood sugars are higher than when I was under Lantus and Apidra. I take Tressiba daily. My Ozempic dosage is .5 - is it possible that I might need the higher dosage?
0.5 is not an effective dose you have to go to 1
Same thing happened to me. I was changed to 1mg and its been working
Thank you for the great info. I have been on Victoza for about 6 years and it suddenly stopped working. We decided to try ozempic, since it is the same class of drug do you think it will work?
myteegeeful ... it is certainly stronger and more effective in the clinical trial so yes I think you may find it helpful.
Ei esta nu bra. Fale portugeis
@@user-gy8co5qy2z What are some of the side effects?
I'm starting this medication today hopefully I do well I'll read the comments
hope it is going well
Does anyone else here get sulphur burps and stomach problems when drinking caffeine or alcohol while on Ozempic?
I do been on this for nearly a year going up to 1 mg
yes was wondering what was going on all this burping never had before i am new on this med.
Me to my burps are disgusting!
What if you took it for 5 days of the 0.25 dosage? Instead of 1x a week?
dont know the answer to that. I suspect wouldn't make a difference to side effects
My husband had all the bad side effects! It took a colonoscopy and 3 doctor visits to figure it out.
Sorry to hear that Patti
Ihave had reflux and severe constipation i Am taking many different medication too .after two years i am going to stop Ozempic lost 10 kilo but I could not eat and digest meat with ozempic sense 0fsmelling become strong for me I could not stand smell of food especial meat
My daughter has Prader willie Syndrome has Ozempic been approved for Prader-willie? Because they do not produce enough GOP1 which causes them to always feel hungry. My daughter is very high functioning
I been on it for over two years weight loss appetite suppressed but I think it messes with my thyroid
Did it slow your thyroid down?
My father took 4 injections in total over 4 weeks of OZEMPIC 0.25 mg (1 injection per week) he has been experiencing side effects for 1 week (vomiting, loss of appetite, extreme fatigue, etc.). can you tell me how long the side effects last?
We saw, thanks to your video and comments, that side effects are inevitable. But how long the side effects last ?
Side affects go away in 1-2 weeks for a given dose. I did have side affect only 1-2 days after taking the shot. So I took the shot on friday nights, so I can sleep them off during the weekend. Now I am at 1ml per week dose. I have been taking it for 6 months. 15 kg less without any exercise or dieting. Its a fantastic med. My insulin dosages disappeared.
Check out the comments under the Pharmacist Online video "Ozempic Side Effects" ........ very scary
Ive been taking ozempic for 7 mos. I lost 30lbs A1c was 8.5 now its 5.8 but it stopped suppressing my appetite so my dr up it to 1mg two weeks ago I hope this works because I was 205 now Im 210 😢 I started use of ozempic at 242lbs
Okay so was taking ozempuc for 8 mos and was getting stomach pain and bloating.....on April. 30, I had to be hospitalized qith pancreatitis due to the ozempic, it was a very painful diagnosis, was in the hospital for a week, on morphine and zofran through an IV because I could not have anything by mouth to let my pancreas heal. 3 days nothing by mouth 4th day and 5th day liquids and 6th and 7th day solids, was tough due to still being bloated and still having some pain. Pay close attention to major side effects that can happen. Its not worth it.
I know everyone is different, but just thought I would put it out there and help someone else who had stomach pain and doesn't know what it is. Was taking it for diabetes not weight loss.
I have been on this for 2 months .the side effects for me was extremely bad ,so my diabetic nurse has taken me of this and starting me on something else .I was very poorly on this
look into natural glp-1 production of your l-cells by feeding your gut bacteria inulin, beta glucan, oats bran

I used Ozempic for three months, even I lost weight the side effects were really terrible. Nausea, vomit, stomach ache, etc. I felt sick all the time. Is there a way to reduce the sympthoms? Because is the only medication that help me to loose weight and reduce my glucose levels in blood.
The symptoms are often dose related. It can be very effective at low doses with minimal symptoms but doctors are encouraged to push the dose up.
Yes! Its called Micro dosing! I started with 10 clicks! .25mg is 18 clicks. Every week I increase by 2 clicks and I've had no side effects. Its a slower weight loss but you're able to avoid vomiting.
Inject in your thigh not your abdomen. see how that helps
I agree…I’m normally a once a day eater anyways and this thing made me sick as hell!! Nausea, vomiting, constant indigestion!! Ugh!! It was so bad I couldn’t eat period cause it would make me sick!! I wasn’t eating for 3-4 days at a time which can’t be good either!! Omg I stopped taking that after about a month…I never felt good
