The long-term effects of diabetes is.
For me, this was the _ONLY_ thing that brought my blood sugar under control.
Even with severe dietary restriction, my blood sugar would be dangerously high first thing in the morning after fasting 12-16hrs.
The 'potential side effects' of the drugs that I was taking was terrifying. And the list of drugs that I was on was so long that even if there was only a 1% chance that I'd catch a side effect from 1% of the drugs then my prospects went down to nil.
I was scheduled for gastric-bypass surgery.
I can modestly say that ozempic probably saved my life.
I've lost ~100lbs (~45kgs) and I can now wear the same size clothes that I wore in high-school which is a nice benefit too.
