Type 2 diabetic adding Ozempic — dual purpose journey

Curious whether the food noise changed for you before or after your sugars settled. Mine went quiet first and the eating part got easier after that, not the other way around

#22

t2D was my reason too and the mental load of tracking both numbers was the part nobody warned me about. Did the glucose checks get less frequent for you once the weight started moving, or did you keep logging everything the same?

#23

Started for the T2D side too and the two-jobs feeling faded for me once my sugars settled into a routine I didn't have to rethink every morning. The weight part just quietly kept moving in the background after that.

#24

T2 was my driver too and the sugar side honestly took more fiddling than the weight side did early on. Curious how often your doc has you checking levels now that you are 58 down.

#25

T2D is my main reason too, and the two-jobs thing eased up for me once my A1c came down and I stopped checking it constantly. How often are you testing your sugar right now?

#30

diabetic-first here too and only a couple pounds in so far, so the two-jobs thing is real for me. Does your doctor have you checking glucose more often now that the dose is going up?

#31

Diabetes was my reason too, and I know what you mean about it feeling like two jobs. The food side got simpler for me once I stopped planning meals around the glucose numbers and just ate the same boring things on repeat.

#33

Diabetes was my reason too and the food noise going quiet made the two goals feel like one job instead of two. How often are you checking your levels now that the weight is moving?

#34

Diabetes was my reason too, and the food noise going quiet was the part I didn't expect. My a1c and my waistline stopped feeling like separate projects after a few months.

#35

honestly t2 as well and the two-jobs thing rang true for me, though for me the sugar side actually got simpler once the weight started moving. Managing both felt less like juggling and more like one problem feeding the other

#36

T2 was my reason too, and the blood sugar part got way less consuming once my fasting numbers settled. Curious whether your doctor has you checking glucose more often now that the weight is coming off

#39

The two-jobs feeling is very much where I'm living right now. The blood sugar part is the half I actually track closely, the weight just sort of trails along behind it.

#40

T2 was my driver too, and the two-jobs feeling hit me hard around week six when I was trying to log every meal and every reading at once. I quit logging food so obsessively and just tracked my sugars, and that made it feel like one job instead of two.
