My doctor was really surprised that the highest dose of Ozempic, a type 2 diabetes med and the latest weight loss fad, didn't help with my blood sugar or weight loss after six months. I also never experienced any side effects aside from constipation.
For context, I have both type 2 diabetes and inflammatory bowel disease, including leaky gut.
I did some digging and found a few small studies suggesting GLP-1 receptor dysfunction might be why it's not working for me. This needs more research though.
I am posting this should others experience the lack of benefit from these diabetic and weight loss medications.
As for me, I don't know how to proceed, This is incredibly discouragin.
