Ozempic is a drug used for type 2 diabetes treatments, because of its newfound usage as a diet drug for people too lazy to eat better and exercise, there is a shortage of it.

The primary people being prescribed this medication for weight loss is gen z females.
Gotta keep those TikTok and OF views coming in. Sorry about your diabetes.

“exercise”

One woman I knew took me to her fitness club.

It takes a lot of exercise to burn off calories according to what the machines said.

Being skinny isn’t necessarily healthy, it’s how you get skinner that matters.

“Ozempic is a drug used for type 2 diabetes treatments, because of its newfound usage as a diet drug for people too lazy to eat better and exercise, there is a shortage of it.”

...

The nurse I saw recently said the treatment is $1,000 a month, and the weight will return when you stop, if you don’t change your eating habits.

I was recently put on a new drug that’s for blood sugar control. It does a great job and has dropped my blood sugar. But , in another ‘off label’ use, similar to Ozempic, it has been found to also control blood pressure. I had been taking a beta blocker for a few months, which is like having an anchor tied to your ankle, and this stuff is so much better. Normal BP without the side effects. All systems have come back on line, if you catch my drift.

Plus, in the month or so I’ve been on it, I’ve lost 5 pounds. Not sure if that’s because of the higher metabolism, or if the drug’s effects on my blood sugar are responsible, but I’ve noticed I’m not eating as many snack foods. And, I feel like riding a bike again.

The downside: It’s about $150 a month.

Drop me a private message if you’d like to know the band name, I’d rather not give them a public endorsement.
