I was going to start Ozempic tonight, but I just can't. I went looking to see if there were any tips or tricks to avoid nausea or to get a better idea of how long it lasts and saw that diabetic retinopathy IS an actual (though rare) side effect that might not go away. And you just don't know how muc
I'll probably cross post this to diabetes and endocrinology forums. Thanks for setting up an evidence based endocrine forum, I'll try to contribute. I did some work on the available data on CV outcome trials to date. This is a wordy summary of available trials, but hopefully shed some light on the p

I take Metformin, Alogliptin, and Empagliflozin. Before that I was taking Pioglitazone instead of Empagliflozin. My blood sugar was fantastic. My morning blood sugar was around 97mg to 115mg even after a hefty meal night before and the A1C was 6.5. Then the VA changed Pioglitazone to Empagliflozin b

I'm male, age 47, 5 foot 8, weigh about 250 pounds. Ever since going on insulin two years ago I've had a hell of a time losing weight. I also have degenerative disc disease and osteoarthritis of the spine which makes exercising difficult, but I am walking for 15 minutes every day after work, and wor

As a man you will end up with a spicy weiner when you pee. I am an extremely spicy eater but I thought I'd share this uncomfortable side effect for all of
