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.

Consistency with my injection day mattered more than the exact dose. Down 3 lbs since my last shot, slow and steady. I plateaued until the dose increase kicked things back in gear. Onward!

For what it's worth, I plan my meals around shot-day appetite changes now. Six months in and the scale keeps moving the right way. Hang in there. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.
