  1.  @Coco_au What do you mean “no carbs”? SWEETS ARE CARBS. Jeez….

  2.  @strnglhld  If you are diabetic and you don't want to have your legs amputated, you won't stop keto.

  3.  @llianneolivoreyesmusic  Why do you ask a stranger online about health issues? :FACEPALM

  4. The sad thing is that fatness KILLS

  5. Overweight children means they are highly insulin resistant and have every right to the drug as diabetics do, if not more since it’s their parents fault they are obese,

  6.  @Coco_au  I do know what diabetes is however you have no idea. There is a problem with your diabetic medication, and you should check with your doctor and measure your glucose before any exercise or even walk. In addition you should also fix your diet, if you need Ozempic it means that your diet is all over the place and not even close to a diet that a type 2 diabetic should be doing. I was also diagnosed with type 2 and I have completely reversed my diabetes, I no longer take any medication at all. In addition I had a father who lost both of his legs to diabetes and died from it, I know better than you what diabetes is and what the consequences of not changing completely your lifestyle means when you get diagnosed with it.

  7. It’s not the gym, it’s the eating. People want to continue eating garbage but lose weight :facepalm

  8. People are literally mοrons. That person for sure kept on eating tons of refined carbs and junk food waiting from a drug to perform miracles, lol 😂

  9.  @sinoperture  Again, diabetes type 2 = INSULIN RESISTANCE with a working pancreas that keeps the glucose levels normal. HOWEVER, the spikes on glucose levels still happen which means you also produce tons of insulin and the more insulin you produce the more insulin resistant you become, thre more insulin resistant you become the more weight you gain (that is what insulin does, it makes the cells absorb the glucose and transform it into FAT, it’s an ANABOLIC hormone hence why you put on weight). You literally cannot be overweight without being insulin resistant unless you are a sumo wrestler (I don’t mean 20 lbs overweight, we are talking about people being 200+ lbs with normal height, usually the ones with lots of fat in their bellies). Those people will eventually also become diabetic when their pancreas stops working so they also deserve access to the medication.

  10.  @justylex  Yeah, good luck convincing those mοrοns who should never have become parents to do something to change the food habits not just of their children but also of themselves. Obese children have obese parents who are responsible not only for their children’s obesity but their own as well.

  11.  @djbdjb169  If you are type 2 diabetic it means your pancreas does NOT work as it should be so yes, you have destroyed it. EDUCATE yourself about your disease instead of posting stuριdities online. My father WAS BEGGING the doctors to amputate his second leg, although he had already lost the other leg due to diabetes. This is the damage that this disease did to him, and unfortunately when it starts hurting it’s already too late. Again he was begging to have his leg cut off. So do yourself a favour and fix your diet instead of waiting miracles to happen by taking any medication which will only slow down just a little bit the inevitable and unfortunately death by diabetes doesn’t come quick and sudden but after a long time with TONS of PAIN and screaming.

  12.  @julesb2415  No, they should instead change their diet and STOP EATING GARBAGE. Refined carbs and sugars and starchy carbs and sodas and ultra processed foods should be BANNED from their diet. This is a drug, it is NOT a miracle worker, and even if they lose some weight because of it they will then get fat again when their body gets used to it/their condition worsens, or when they will stop the drug. They will NEVER become thin if they don’t change COMPLETELY their diet, and if they change their diet they won’t need the medicine. Got it now? OBESITY KILLS. And it kills VERY PAINFULLY.

  14. Anxiety doesn’t have calories. You gained weight because you were eating more (as a mechanism to deal with your anxiety), not because of anxiety.
    1
  15.  @bannedinfinity5789  If that story is true my guess is that this person wasn't losing weight from the walking and exercise, but from a totally uncontrolled diabetes, basically peeing what he was eating while his body had been surviving on stored fat. This is more probable than an endocrinologist insisting that he should be taking Ozempic while he was losing weight normally which would also mean that his blood tests would be getting better and better
    1
  16.  @djbdjb169  Again, it is NOT a miracle worker, it is a MEDICATION. There is no medication or diseases that will make you lose weight or gain weight. Ozempic may speed up your metabolism but still if you eat too many calories it will not help in losing weight. Putting on or losing weight is ALWAYS a matter of calories. Eating more than you should you gain weight, eating less you lose weight, eating what you should be eating to remain the same weight, you remain the same weight. If you didn’t lose any weight while taking the medicine it means you were eating MORE calories than you should have been eating. I don’t need to know you personally, it’s simple physics and law of thermodynamics, end of story.

  17. You reminded me of my cousin who claims COVID-19 destroyed his pancreas, not the fact that he’s been type 2 diabetic almost 20 years now while he’s never been on a diet and he’s drunk 5/7 days of the week, because he started insulin injections when he was hospitalised for COVID. In your case it is PCOS that caused your sepsis, it just happen to coincidence when you also started Ozempic. Stop eating sugars and fast/junk food and sodas and refined/starchy carbs, easy as that
    1
  18. So it hasn’t occurred to you to stop eating refined and starchy carbs and ultra processed food and sugars and sodas and fast/junk food? Sorry to break the news to you, but Ozempic just slows down, a bit, the inevitable: a slow death in agony, pain and screaming, this is what diabetes 2 does. Ozempic is a drug, it’s not a miracle pill, sooner than later your body will get used to it and the consequences of diabetes will be very harsh. So FIX YOUR DIET AND EAT ONLY HEALTHY AND LESS.

  19.  @heatherlott1342 I’ve lost more than 80 lbs by eliminating all refined and starchy carbs (plus started walking, then got myself a bike now I’ve also started going to the gym in group sessions). People are nuts, they just want to keep on eating the garbages they’ve been eating while relying on drugs/poisons to fix their blood sugars and weights :FACEPALM I don’t feel sorry for them, serves them right
    1
  20. Then you should change your diet, it’s a drug, it’s not a miracle. If you didn’t lose any weight it means that you DONT do any diabetic diet. Obese people have every right to get the drug as you do, since the reason they are obese is because they’re highly INSULIN RESISTANT as you are. Only difference is that they haven’t destroyed their pancreas as you already have. So instead of blaming your “poor luck” on people who ‘take your medicine’, change your lifestyle and stop eating the garbage that you eat, in order to improve your health
    1
  21. Maybe because people who are fat will eventually also become diabetic if they don’t lose weight and change their lifestyle, Jeez…. OBESITY IS A DISEASE WHICH LEADS TO NUMEROUS OF SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEMS

  22. Tell your partner to stop completely eating junk food and sugars then

  23.  @71oliver1  Also not to eat the huge amounts he eats

  24. The fact to stop eating carbs hasn’t crossed your mind, has it? :FACEPALM

  25.  @kckc1276  I say that STOP EATING SUGARS AND REFINED/STARCHY CARBS. Fix your diet instead trying to fix your weight and glucose levels with drugs which only slow down a bit the inevitable
    1
  26. Overweight people are insulin resistant. You can’t be overweight without being insulin resistant. Insulin resistance = diabetes, the “difference” is that your blood glucose results are in normal levels because you have still a strong pancreas working full overtime 24/7. When the pancreas starts breaking down, then the glucose levels start rising in your blood results and you get diagnosed as diabetic. However the damage in your body has been going on FOR DECADES, because you have been insulin resistant (=diabetic) for DECADES. It is the reason why when you get diagnosed with diabetes usually it comes together with another serious disease like heart attack, peripheral neuropathy, problems in vision, kidneys, etc., because this situation has been breaking down your body for a very long time. So yes, overweight people deserve having access to the medication as much as diabetic people do.
    1
  27. Then you also don’t have real medical reasons because if you are insulin resistant all you have to do is stop eating junk food and you will lose weight and become more insulin sensitive. This medication will just make the inevitable last a little longer.

  28.  @sinoperture  It may not affect them from exercising but it seriously affect their health. I agree with you that that should control their weight by having a healthy diet, however they still have as much right to the medicine as diabetic people do. Type 2 diabetes is basically being highly insulin resistant but having a pancreas that’s not working so well after years of abusing it. So these people are basically highly insulin resistant but still have a strong pancreas (which will soon break down and they will also be diagnosed as diabetic). H to r only people who don’t deserve to have any access to the medication are people who only was to lose a few lbs fast without the effort.
    1
  29.  @sinoperture  Insulin resistant people probably have more right to the drug since they have not, yet, done any damage to their pancreas thus have more chances to reverse their condition and improve their health. I feel no pity for insulin resistant people who have damaged their pancreas (aka diabetic) and still need Ozempic to lose weight because THEY DO NOT FUCK WANT TO STOP CONSUMING REFINED AND STARCHY CARBS AND SODAS AND SUGARS AND JUNK FOOD…. At least obese insulin resistant people have the “excuse” of not gotten diagnosed with a disease yet….

  30. Then stop eating refined and starchy carbs and sugars and sodas and you will lose those and even more
    1
  31.  @M.E.Smith7639 If you were an athlete before but now you can’t even walk and you put on weight it means that now that you don’t exercise you must eat LESS than before. You need to adapt your diet to your current life. There is correlation to the things you mentioned among weight gain and, for instance, genetics, medication, etc. However, correlation does NOT mean causation. The ONLY thing that makes us put on weight is called CALORIC INTAKE. If it’s more than your individual needs, you will gain weight. Law of thermodynamics, end of story. All the things you mention may slow down your metabolism and even mess up your hormones, which means that you may need fewer calories per day and it may be harder for you to lose weight than someone else but it is still a matter of CALORIES. Eat more than you should, you gain weight. Eat less, you lose weight. Humans CANNOT gain weight on breathing air and drinking water. It’s IMPOSSIBLE.
    1
  32. Obesity is NOT a symptom. I dare you to bring proof that any disease CAUSES obesity. You u simply CANNOT put on weight by breathing air and drinking water. Yes maybe your metabolism will change because of a disease/and or a medication,but it is ALWAYS A MATTER OF CALORIC DEFICIT. It just means you need FEWERA CALORIES in order not to put on weight and even fewer if you want to lose, than people who do t have your disease. Obesity is NOT a symptom, you simply eat MORE THAN YOU SHOULD. Association/correlation does NOT EQUAL CAUSATION.

  33. Or even more simpler, stop eating carbs, besides green vegetables which should be your ONLY carbs

  34. The fact to tell your wife to shut her mount close and stop eating carbs hasn’t crossed your mind? 20 mmol glucose means she’s been eating every junk food there is out there, Jeez 🙄….

  35. To stop eating junk food and refined/starchy carbs has never crossed your mind, right? :FACEPALM

  36.  @angelap32 You think this person is doing any Mediterranean diet? More like the junk food diet, lol 😂

  37.  @angelap32  Yeah it’s very rude because people are mοrοns. They prefer taking tons of chemicals and more and more and stronger and stronger in order to keep on eating junk food. And Mediterranean diet is a kind of diet. Anything you eat is a DIET, your diet, it doesn’t mean that you are trying to lose/gain weight, it’s what someone eats.

  38. While it hurts you badly. It is a medicine, it is NOT a miracle worker, you don’t lose weight because you EAT MORE than you should. I can’t understand people like you who have such a SERIOUS disease but just rely on medication while they don’t cut off the carbs and change their lifestyle. My father had already lost one leg to diabetes and he was BEGGING the doctors to cut off his second one, this is how much pain he had. When diabetes starts hurting you, it’s too late, you will have kidney failures, dementia, heart diseases, neuropathy and even more problems.

  39.  @a5cent  I dont have to know you personally, if you take Ozempic you have an uncontrolled diabetes. Not being overweight also means you lost weight due to uncontrolled diabetes. Anyway, keep on the “good” work, lol
    1
  40.  @a5cent Im not the one with uncontrolled diabetes who needs Ozempic, lol 😂
    1
  41.  @a5cent  See? I do t have to know you personally to know you have an uncontrolled diabetes and basically you have been peeing what you have been eating while your body has been surviving on your stored fat hence why you aren’t fat. This is WORSE than being fat with diabetes, it means that your diabetes was so uncontrolled that it has actually started to be eating you alive. So again, FIX YOUR DIET, because Ozempic doesn’t do miracles and soon you’ll get used to it and the damage from diabetes in your body will get worse. Only by fixing our diet we can defend ourselves against type 2 diabetes, everything else just slows down the inevitable: which is a slow death in agony and huge pain and screaming. My father was begging to have his second leg also amputated, this is how much pain he was in, also with an uncontrolled diabetes that ate him alive.

  42. Then stop eating carbs

  43. People who are obese are also highly insulin resistant, you can’t get that fat if you aren’t insulin resistant, even if you still have a well- working pancreas. Sooner or later their pancreas will also get tired and they will be also diagnosed as diabetics so they have every right to have access to the drug as diabetics do.
    1
  44. Obese people are insulin resistant. You cannot be that obese without also being insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is basically diabetes but with a healthy, working full overtime 24/7 pancreas producing huge amounts of insulin to have that glucose in normal levels. This is a situation that literally goes on for decades, until your pancreas starts getting tired and not functioning that well, so your glucose levels rise and you get diagnosed as diabetic type 2, which is being highly insulin resistant. So actually obese people also deserve to be prescribed the medicine because they are indeed also insulin resistant, as diabetic people are.

  45. So your favourite foods are ultra processed foods full or refined carbs and tons of calories? Instead of realising that those are foods that literally ΚΙLL YOU slowly and painfully? :facepalm And you take Ozempic to avoid any cardiovascular problems? Jeez the amount of human stυρidity is unbelievable….
    1
  46.  @pozzee2809  You eat properly and always have been but you are a type 2 diabetic which is basically caused by eating too much junk food? Yeah right….. Then it’s called NAFLD your cause of diabetes. Ozempic is indeed a medication of type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is basically being highly insulin resistant with a pancreas that’s not working properly anymore. Obese people are also highly insulin resistant, you cannot become obese without being insulin resistant. The only difference is that their pancreas still works thus it keeps the glucose levels normal. However the huge spikes in glucose and insulin still happen which damage not only their pancreas slowly but their whole metabolic health. And as insulin resistant they have every right to Ozempic as diabetic do.

  47.  @Coco_au  Were you born an ιdιοt or have your brain become so much insulin resistant that half of your brain cells have starved to deαth and you’ve lost half of your brain functioning? LoL 😂

  48. Going to the gym won’t help if they don’t fix their diet first. You can spend 10 hours at the gym exercising and then go to McDonald’s and within one hour eat 6000 calories and still feel hungry
    1
  49. Jeez, STOP EATING JUNK FOOD. Everything you’ve described is because of eating junk food. Meaning refined and starchy carbs, sugars, ultra processed food, sodas. You need to change LIFESTYLE and FOREVER. It’s like an alcoholic, they need to COMPLETELY BAN alcohol from their lives for the rest of their lives. When you are obese basically it means that you are food addict and that you have DESTROYED your metabolic health, so yeah, just like alcoholics, so do you: you need to COMPLETELY BAN refined and starchy carbs, sugars, ultra processed food, sodas, junk/fast food from your life for the rest of your life.

  50. They still won’t lose weight if they go to McDonald’s and eat 5000 calories before 4 am. Losing weight is firstly a matter of changing your diet and then adding exercise to your life.

  51. You are also misusing it. You should have changed lifestyle and cut off completely ALL refined and starchy carbs and sugars and sodas and ultra processed food from your diet. COMPLETELY. But you depend on a drug in order to regulate your disease instead of changing your diet. Let me inform you that even if you are able to get the medication in the future, your diabetes will only keep on getting ng worse and worse and at some point not even Ozempic will save you. In addition, people who are insulin resistant deserve to have access to the medication because they are insulin resistant, even if they still have a strong pancreas and their blood glucose levels are normal. You can’t be fat without being insulin resistant at the same time.

  52. Jeez, if your sugar hit 550 it means that you eat GARBAGE. You just want to keep on eating junk food and have a drug fix your health? :FACEPALM STOP consuming sugars and ultra processed junk food and sodas and refined and starchy carbs and fast foods and your blood sugar will NEVER go above 130, Jeez….
