I take ozempic to manage my blood sugar rather than chase weight loss. Been on it just over a year, started low and worked up to 2mg where I've stayed. That number went from 7.8 to about 6 now, and I lost about 40 pounds too, a nice bonus. Side effects for me have been almost none, nothing painful, no nausea, nothing with my stomach, just a little constipation early on that cleared up in a couple weeks. What actually helped was dropping three big meals for 4 to 6 smaller snacks through the day so blood sugar stays steadier. I avoid sugary food, fast food, and anything greasy or spicy, and lean on fruit, veggies, soup, fish and chicken. I still cheat occasionally if we go out to eat together, but I pick carefully and usually eat half, saving the rest, ordering a vegetable side instead of
