I don't even know what it's for, just like all the other drugs they push on TV. As soon as that destruction of a terrible ELO song comes on, TV goes mute; even if the Mrs. is watching Hallmark and has control of the remote.
My Doc, trying to get my A 1C down sampled me on an injection, the put me on Ozempic. I had every listed negative reaction, and I never do that. Seriously nauseated, and very unhappy, and more.
Quit it as soon as I figured out what had happened. Tried Trulicity and the only negative reaction was the cost. Taking a pill now, and Doc and I are both happy.
I'm pretty sure I said if you take it for legit medical reasons ok. I'm talking about people taking it for vanity purposes….. and yes, the view is very nice from a top my soapbox.
Basically GLP-1 inhibitors are for T2DM and also can "help with metabolic syndrome." The latter is a catchall definition for a multiplicity of "interlocking diseases". Can look up the full definition on the NIH web site (The page you're looking for isn't available. | National Institutes of Health (NIH)). Also the first GLP-1 inhibitor (semaglutide) was based on one of the salivary peptides of the "Gila monster", so move to AZ and get bitten by a rather large lizard.
I just don't eat. I'm on a liquid diet. I'm down to 180. A1C is like 5.1. My back hurts like all heck. I have vitamins for that. The neck pain is pretty much susbsided. The non-narcotics fixed that, for now.
