[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What, pray tell, is “marginally pre-diabetic?”

If you want to lose 50, eat less and move more and cut down on carbs. That will do a lot to help your glucose too. You don’t need  Ozempic.[/quote]

my A1c is outside the normal range, but only a little.

yes, I do need Ozempic. I have been on a diet for the past 40 years.[/quote]

Ozempic isn’t for prediabetes. But op probably already knows this. Metformin is for prediabetes. [/quote]

i don't know what prediabetes is, technically, and i am unfamiliar with metformin. i pretty sure i don't want to take it.[/quote]

Lol didn’t you say you had marginal diabetes? That would be called prediabetes. What is your a1c? I got ozempic because mine was 10.2[/quote]

I had gestational diabetes with my last pregnancy which makes one a likely candidate to develop diabetes as they get older. For the next 10 years, I worked like a dog to stay fit—did Weight watchers, lifted weights, ran a marathon. And then I turned 50. I tried and tried to lose weight—again, did Weight Watchers religiously and worked out. My 54-year old body was not dropping any of the the 30lbs I needed to lose. And my A1C was 5.8 (pre-diabetic)

I was prescribed Ozempic and have been taking it for a year. I pay $25/month.  Lost 25lbs and A1C is now in normal range. I feel great and have no issue with taking this drug forever.

OP-I hope you can get this covered. It’s a great drug. I’ve have minimal side effects. Fatigue is the worst part. The best part is that the “food noise” is gone. [/quote]

You are not the right kind of candidate for Ozempic. Shame on you.[/quote]

you are insane.[/quote]

Ozempic is for diabetics. OP needs Wegovy, which is for weight loss. Why is that confusing?[/quote]

this is not about NP but another PP who was pre diabetic, used ozempic for some time and with great success. yet another PP is bitter about it.

some of you are either extremely anal about ozempic and wegovy, which is kind of weird, or are using this as an excuse to vent that omg now some people will be able to lose weight without putting in the effort you want them to put in. [/quote]
