I’m diabetic. I take Ozempic. It helped lower my A1c to where I am in the prediabetes zone. But, yes, it has had bad consequences to my plumbing. Nothing as bad as perpetual diarrhea. It’s a cycle of constipation then diarrhea.
I have not noticed muscle loss. Personally I am supposed to take it once a week, but I let that slip to 8-9 days to enjoy a more normal day or two before getting back to it. I will say I have learned about satiation. Before Ozempic I was much less aware of being full. I could just keep eating. Now I am aware that I’m done. The meal is over, period. Save it for leftovers, share it, toss it, but I absolutely can’t eat it. Thats a lesson I am happy to learn.

It got mine down to 5.9 at last check. I lost 80 lbs over a year and a half before going on it. I lift weights four times a week and have noticed no muscle loss.
