Type 2 diabetic adding Ozempic — dual purpose journey

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

#45

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?

#48

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?

#49

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?

#53

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

#54

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.

#55

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.

#56

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?
