The two-jobs feeling is real, mine eased once my after-meal numbers stopped swinging so hard. Curious whether your doctor has you checking glucose more or less often now that the weight is moving
Type 2 diabetic adding Ozempic — dual purpose journey
Diabetes was my main reason too, and I'm past the 60 pound mark now. The juggling act got a lot quieter for me once my morning numbers stopped bouncing around.
I'm a bit behind you at 54 down and still checking glucose more than I'd like. Did your morning readings settle gradually or was there a week where things just flipped?
Only a couple pounds in myself so the autopilot phase sounds a long way off, but the morning number is the one thing I check before anything else too.
Diabetes was my main reason too, and the food noise going quiet did more for my numbers than all the label reading ever did. Are you finding the glucose side easier or harder than you expected?
El Paso here too. Curious whether you track your glucose and weight on the same app or keep them totally separate?
How do you actually split your attention between the two? I'm down around 15 and still feel like I'm chasing the glucose numbers more than the weight some weeks
The double-bookkeeping eased up for me once my glucose numbers started trending down on their own, so the two jobs kind of merged into one. Did you notice anything like that yet or is it still two separate battles?
I'm a bit behind you at 44 lbs and the two-jobs feeling has definitely faded. My glucose numbers settled down on their own once the appetite stuff calmed, so it turned into one job instead of two.
58 pounds is a lot to have come off while managing T2, so that's encouraging to read. Did your doctor have you checking glucose more often in the early weeks, or did you mostly just watch how the eating changed?
T2 was my reason too, and I'm down about 40. Did your doctor have you keep the glucose log separate from the food tracking or fold it all into one habit?
I'm only 13 down so far but the two-jobs thing already makes sense to me. Did the food side end up doing most of the work on your numbers, or was it still a daily grind?
Only 9 down here but the smaller portions already show up in my morning numbers, which I did not expect this early. Curious whether your doctor had you tracking glucose daily from the start or just spot checks
Diabetes was my main reason too and I'm down about 19 so far. The two-jobs feeling faded for me once the smaller portions started doing most of the glucose work on their own, so the weight side turned into more of a bystander than a second job.
honestly, t2 was my driver too, and the two-jobs feeling faded once my morning numbers got boring. Now I mostly just track portions and let the rest ride.
Not T2 myself but I'm on Saxenda and only down a couple pounds, so 58 sounds wild to me. Did the blood sugar part change before or after the weight started moving?
