Ehhh, I’m mixed with feelings on this. I’ve seen crazy stats about the usage of drugs like Ozempic, and don’t get me wrong, I’m not going to be out here judging people for choosing how they want to lose weight, but I really worry how much this will be used by people to replace lifestyle changes, rather than being used in conjunction with them.
Respectfully, that’s more a decision between the prescribing physician, and the patient. If the Doctor has actually prescribed Ozempic(or it’s generics) per the drug manufacturer and health Canada’s Ozempic guidelines then even if the person is not doing enough to change their lifestyle the effects will lessen the cravings and general glucose management in the diabetic patient. the real thing to watch is the other forms of semaglutide which can be prescribed outside of diabetes as they have much looser guidelines around them a lot more open to interpretation. would recommend talking to a doctor about this, you’re not wrong but the risk that does exist is not necessarily what you might think. I’m much more concerned about the relaxing of the guidelines then the use of it.
