    As a diabetic, Dr couldn't prescribe it to me with the shortage, ive been put on the WLP 12 wks it didn't help as the food cravings there and no restrictions. So I brought my own 4months supply. First month i lost 17lbs. Tomorrow's my wk 5 start of 5mg.

      Wegovy is a version of the medicine for weight loss, not diabetes, but there are similar drugs for diabetes. Well done with that weight loss! 💪🏻

    I hate needles but it really isn’t that bad at all. Felt like when you haven’t worn earrings in a long time and you have to use some force.

      It’s definitely not for everyone, but could be a good option for some, especially for those struggling with obesity related health problems.

    The placebo trial is pretty weak. You can feel these drugs in your body 100% within 24 hours. You kniw whether you had a placwbk or not. When you dont feel like lumch, it might he placebo. Wjen you dont fwrl like lunch ir dinner ir brwakfasy or lunch ir dinner, it usnt placebo

      This didn’t make much sense, but I can assure you the placebo effect is very well evidenced.

      @@DrSophieGP Placebo effect is real, but for some drugs the effects are so clear, people who take them know they have taken them, because you can feel them. Like morphine. If I give you are a big shot of morphine, you know whether you got the placebo or not.

      ​@@ML-sj3gi sure, but the people on the placebo have no idea what it feels like to the people that get the medication. Then not everyone who is taking the medication get side effects. So those taking the placebo have no idea if they are the ones on the med and not feeling side effects. Then there are others taking the placebo that psychosomatically start feeling "side effects," that is what is called the placebo effect...

      Hypothyroidism isn’t a contraindication, but whoever prescribes it for you should check your full history and go through risks vs benefits for you.
