Semaglutide is an antidiabetic medication used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and an anti-obesity medication used for long-term weight management. It was developed by Novo Nordisk in 2012 and approved for use in the US in 2017. It is a peptide similar to the hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), modified with a side chain. It can be administered by subcutaneous injection or taken orally. It is sold under the brand names Ozempic (injectable) and Rybelsus (pill) for diabetes, and under the brand name Wegovy for weight loss.
I was prescribed Ozempic…and suffered all the side effects!! After over a year, I told the doctor no more! I would rather live with the diabetes than suffer the nausea, diarrhea, stomach pains, and gall bladder issues….UGH! And the doc kept saying that I just had to let my body get used to it.

Gunther has a long way to go before he’s “wasting away”! But it is worrisome that he’s slowed down by half a dumpster….
