[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]
