    My apologies; Im not sure how to edit my post, so I’ll just edit it here and leave it in the comment section:

    “ I’m in search of female members here who, just as I do, take Ozempic to control their type 2 Diabetes. Just looking for support from other women (no males please! I don’t accept male friend requests) who know what I’m going through! Men don’t share the same physical DNA that women do, so our struggles are very different. I’m not discriminating against men; their journeys are just different from a woman’s journey 😊

    I'm a maybe, possibly, not sure if I can help, as I'm also type 2. Was asked by my doc if I wanted to go on Ozempic but I thought to see if I can my A1C down by exercise and diet first. I'm not on Metformin. Started at 7.5 a year ago and now I'm at 6.2. I'd love to hear your thoughts on what's going on for you now, because if I ever rebound just because my body just doesn't like me, I might have to go on that.

    I just started Ozempic this week for my type 2 diabetes. How’s your progress so far?

    That's good progress and probably the ideal reason for not taking medication and I completely agree with your assessment. Not sure what your doing but consuming whole foods that are also high in protein is something to think about as well as consuming proteins and vegetables first before the carb portion and keep your sugary food last after a meal and only after a meal, even if it's just fruit, it helps keep blood glucose levels lower which helps lower A1C and reducing carbs in general has also a big impact on A1C. If you have insurance that would cover a CGM (continuous glucose monitor) I would do that, I did and it was invaluable. :)

    Hi, just started today. I am T2 diabetic and after years of trying different medications including Metformin, my doctor and I decided to try Ozempic. Would love to connect. I'm from South Africa, female.

    I'm prediabetic and self funding Mounjaro. Having new bloods done later this week so I'll see whether it's made a difference.

    Hi! I'll make 51 in May. I've been on Ozempic since October 2022. Was on Trulicity first, lost about 30 lbs, then switched to Oz. Lost another 45 lbs. in about a year. I LOVE it! I do have some symptoms here and there, but not enough to get me to stop taking it. I'm also on Metformin and Jardiance. I'm 5' 6.5" and as of right now I weigh 143.
