[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's frustrating when you've been taking it for months and can't get it.  I wish they had told docs to slow down adding new patients because plenty of existing are having success at the lower levels.  Now, those aren't available.[/quote]

What are you supposed to tell someone with an A1C of 12 and fasting glucose of 250? Wait on this life-saving medication?[/quote]

Maybe limit to those who really need it then vs those who just want a fast weight loss fix?

Again, Wegovy isn’t approved for diabetes treatment. It’s approved for weight loss.  People who take it for weight loss are not taking doses away from diabetics.   And the guidelines for getting a prescription are BMI 30 or BMI 27-29 with a weight related co-morbidity, like diabetes or hypertension. People who are obese or almost obese with weight related health problems are the ones who needs it. And even if your insurance covers Wegovy, you need to meet these guidelines.  It’s not meant to be taken to lose 10 pounds for that bikini and MDs who prescribe it for vanity weight loss aren’t following guidelines.  That’s malpractice. [/quote]
