Not Sure What I Think of This

Doctor took me off a oral diabetic med and started me on this, my kidneys are not the greatest & she said this is easier on kidneys than what I was taking for type 2 diabetes 

Only a few weeks into it & can’t really tell any difference. Have an appointment with a nephrologist at the end of the month & not looking forward to that…….Not to mention the nuclear medicine hear test or the echocardiogram I’ve got….

Getting old sucks, never thought I’d be alive now so there’s that 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Ozempic side effects:



Doctors are being paid gobs of cash to push these drugs whose side effects are usually worse than the condition they’re supposed to treat. That’s why everyone is on statins. Find out about your doctor here: https://openpaymentsdata.cms.gov

Don’t take chances with your kidney! Diabetes can be controlled by diet and exercise. I admit i’m not doing it as much as I should but I’m trying. Whatever you do, do not let them put you on insulin! That’s like treating alcoholism with beer. Also, you’ll gain 50+ pounds before you realize it. Ask me how I know!

Before you start on Ozempic, tell them you want to  try Farxiga. It’s a small pill once a day that lets you piss out the sugar. It actually has some kidney protection effects. I’ve been on it for a couple of years and it helps. I’m hoping I can finally muster up the intestinal fortitude and determination to beat my diabetes with enough carb restriction and getting my lazy ass to the gym!
