My A1C journey: diagnosed T2D 3 years ago at 8.2. Started Ozempic primarily for diabetes management 10 months ago. Current A1C: 5.6. My endocrinologist says I'm no longer diabetic by definition. I've also lost 62 lbs. This medication has genuinely changed my life trajectory.

My titration schedule ended up being much slower than the official guide. 0.25mg for 8 weeks, then 0.5mg for 8 more weeks. My doctor is conservative but the results have been steady and the side effects manageable. There's no prize for going faster.

Protein first at every meal has been my golden rule. Don't give up, it's worth it. Plateaus are the worst, hang in there. Keep us posted!

For what it's worth, Meal-prepping kept me from grazing on bad days. Sending solidarity, this part is genuinely hard. Stay the course. (Not medical advice, just my own experience.)

Insurance tip: document everything. Every phone call, every denial letter, every appeal. Having a paper trail when you get to the peer-to-peer review stage is critical. Your doctor can reference specific dates and denial reasons.

My doctor kept me at 0.5mg for 10 weeks. Slower titration, fewer side effects — worth it.

Coming back to this thread, Down another 1.8 lbs this week and holding steady. I stayed on the starter dose an extra month and it was the right call. Strength training helped me keep muscle while losing.

Following along, Are you tracking protein or just eating intuitively. Found my sweet spot dose and I'm not in a hurry to go higher. Rooting for you. You've got this. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Just wanted to say, Clothes are loose enough that I need a smaller size. Don't weigh daily, the trend line is what matters. You've got this.
