How do you feel about non-Diabetics using Ozempic?

[Anonymous]

I have Type 1 Diabetes, so I have no use for it. But I have friends who are Type 2 and are having difficulty accessing the drug due to the shortage caused by non-diabetics or non-obese people using it.

The other day I was having a conversation with someone who stated that theyre using the drug to "shed a few pounds". Was I the asshole for getting mad at them?

It makes you look old and you get wrinkles. And if you still eat like shit the food will digest out of your body very slowly and you will get bad breath from old food sitting in your stomach. And that person who told you they taking it to shed a few pounds doesn't know that once they stop the Ozempic or run of it they will regain all the weight back plus look older.

It's better to just change your lifestyle than depend on a drug. If you absolutely need it then fine, but you still need to change your lifestyle. It is like liposuction sure you get rid of the fat in your stomach, but if you keep eating like shit you'll get the fat back, but the fat will go into your arms and legs.

So you have take Ozempic the rest of your life and look like skinny old 75 year old woman in your early 30s or change your style. Don't do a restrictive diet you do for one or two months, just change your whole lifestyle and the way you eat.

I do t agree w that. My wife is going through the same thing. Can’t get it when she needs it. We actually just talked to her doctor about this last week. Maybe ordering a double dose for situations like this or an alternative. Even than when they do have it it’s usually available 30-40 minutes away here in the city.

The pharmaceutical industry should give priority to those who truly need to use Ozempic for health reasons rather than for aesthetical reasons.

I think it should just be available for diabetics as it was originally made for!

Pretty stupid if you ask me, and probably dangerous too.
