[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am Type 2 and need it to lower my A1C and have a prescription for Ozempic but my insurance will only pay half. It’s still $500/month. I am not obese and my BMI is in the normal range. Not everyone with Type 2 is obese or overweight. [/quote] Correct. Type-2 diabetes doesn't require obesity. Some people will simply have fewer fat cells and thus won't get obese. The obesity is a protection mechanism against high blood sugar. Your body will not be able to push more glucose into cells at some point. If you have more fat cells, you will get fatter, but not show as "diabetic" for longer, though you will still suffer from insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. If you have fewer fat cells, you won't have that extra time until being detected as diabetic. EIther way, the problem is the same.[/quote]
