Every month I have to call around to 30-40 pharmacies trying to scrape together 1mg doses and can only take half my prescribed meds. And no I’m not overweight, I'm type 1.5 diabetic (type 1 adult onset) for anyone accusing me of being fat and that diabetes was a lifestyle choice. I need drugs like ozempic to lower my blood sugar, until I need insulin. Please don’t tell me there’s lots of other diabetes meds, because they don’t work for me like ozempic or Mounjaro, which are now always out of stock due to selfish people looking to lose vanity weight.
Nor sure who you are talking about but Oprah was obese for a great portion of her life. She has tried many different times to lose weight and keep it off. If someone with her resources can't be successful without those drugs that should tell you something.
Also, I hate when diabetics like you come on here preaching how they are more deserving to have this drug than people who are fighting obesity. I was on it and lost 70 lbs. The doctor put me on it hoping to avoid heat issues and it worked. You don't deserve to treat your diabetes any more than I do to treat my heart issues. GEt over yourself. [/quote
You do know diabetics can die without medication right? They do need it to live as the medication is literally for them.
Overweight people do not need Ozempic and can lose the weight without it
