GLP-1 Agonists

Have you tried GLP-1 agonists? This term refers to weight loss medications like Ozempic® to treat type 2 diabetes and Wegovy® to treat obesity.

If you haven't tried them, what are your thoughts about them? What intrigues you or makes you hesitant to try them?

  1. No

    1. let me explain. I am a nurse. I hate to give myself shots to the point of getting anyone to give them to me. Therefore I would not be a very good candidate for any injectable medication. I can't even stick myself to check my blood sugar. Told my doctor that if she wanted me to check it I would need something non-invasive to do it with.

    2. I hear you! I am not a nurse, but I am terrified of injecting myself. I am prediabetic and working hard to make sure I never need injectable medication. It's great motivation! Warmest of wishes. - Lori (Team Member)

  2. The medication I took made me nauseous all day. Then when I got used to it, it really didn't stop me from eating. It was just not working for me.

    1. Hi . I wish it had worked for you. I have heard such mixed reviews. Some people say it works wonders while others have had experiences similar to yours. Have you tried any other weight loss plans or medications that have been more effective? Warm wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
