[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there are more Ozempic posts in the "health" forum here.

Seems odd to just deny coverage completely as Oz or other medication may still be needed to maintain the lower A1c. But maybe this is their way of trying to push patients to a lower cost medication. My DH was able to stay on lower dose of Oz after he met his targets.  [/quote]

May I ask what your DH would eat on an avg day when he was losing? I really know almost nothing about the drug in terms of what it actually does. Does it make you nauseous at the thought of junk food or do you make better food choices or eat less junk food?[/quote]

NP here, I was on Ozempic and switched to Wegovy when my bloodwork improved (but mostly because I switched doctors, not because you can't remain on it). The meds make me less hungry / not hungry, and get full earlier. Yes certain junk food is unappealing but it's mostly about turning off cravings. You still have to make good choices, watch out for emotional eating, etc.

I eat eggs, fruit, chicken, tofu, salad, sandwich, snacky veg like carrots and apples, protein shakes, sometimes ice cream - normal stuff but small portions and emphasis on protein. I almost never drink alcohol. [/quote]

Thanks for your response. I was so curious about it because I just never really learned about the details of what the drugs actually do. I wasn't sure if you go from gorging on potato chips to finding crudité more appealing or do you just not eat as many chips because you get full or start to get sick from it since taking the drug.[/quote]
