[quote=Anonymous]OP, how far out are you from your delivery?

In many ways, my story is similar to yours except for one huge difference: time

I had gestational diabetes with my last pregnancy 18 years ago when i was 39. I took the diagnosis as a wake-up call to get my act together. And I did for the most part. Did Weight Watchers, joined a gym and ran a marathon in my forties. With some effort, I was able to stay in shape.

Then perimenopause hit. And a pandemic.  And the weight crept up and up. I was 5’8 and 180lbs. The more I tried to lose, the more it would not come off. I went to my primary care doctor in Nov of 2021 and had prediabetic levels. I continued to try the get the weight off. Went back in April and A1C was 5.8. I started Ozempic. My doctor said that the gest diabetes, plus the prediabetic levels made me an excellent candidate. I have lost 25 lbs. My A1C is in the normal range and I feel great.

As for having a “sick” visit, I don’t think your situation qualifies. You would need to have a check-up. Wait for your provider’s availability. In the meantime, continue to exercise and make healthy choices. The Ozempic is really helpful, but it doesn’t mean you can’t jurt eat whatever you want.

Good luck to you. [/quote]
