About Ozempic

Tell me again how the US of A has the best medical in the world!

Here are the prices for Ozempic at the Amazon Pharmacy:

The price, with insurance, for Ozempic .5 mg pens with 4 shots is $25. This is sufficient for one month.

The retail price without insurance is $914! 

Those with insurance pay  2.735% what the uninsured pay. (2.7352297592997811816192% actually)

$914 is 228.5% of $25.  How can folks afford this difference?

I remember being told our medical insurance is the best in the world.  It is not! If it we're then "ObamaCare" would not have been so popular with the uninsured or poorly insured. 

"ObamaCare" was such a threat to the Insurance Industry they went to their Congress Critters and started a campaign to get rid of it. They den-ne-grated  it and spewed lies about "ObamaCare". " The Donald" claimed a vastly superior replacement for "ObamaCare" was being worked on. There ere no hearings, no news reports and the subject eventually was not spoken of.

You can lie all you like in the name of self-righteous destruction of something...

Musing on progression of my diabetics...

 I am T2D  and am getting the skunk eye from my personal MD, the VA Doc and my Heart Surgeon.  It took almost 19 years of fending off the needle but I am now on Ozempic once a week. Ozempix shots are virtually pain free and have a much smaller needle than the insulin needles my Father and youngest brother Charlie had to live with...

blood sugar log 12 July 2023

 

APRIL 2023

 I was diagnosed type 2 Diabetic Saturday 7 March 2023. I have been on different pills since Tuesday 10 March 2023 but never on the needle^!                                                ``                                                               

I have had various MDs and three different Nurse Practitioners. I test my blood sugar upon getting out of bed and 2 hours after "forks down" after my evening meals. My heart surgeon is concerned about my blood pressure.

I use the Greek letter Σ (summation) to show how many times I have injected Ozempic.[1]

Σ or “Summation” is the number of times I have injected Ozempic.

V is for vomiting and pain in my ribcage on the lower right. I ate too much of an oily steak for dinner and had a gall bladder attack.

Y means I actually took the shot…

At or about 3:30 am or so, bells rang and a loud voice saying something like "Attention Medical Response Team, go to Baja Deck room B606. This is on deck 11. I repeat: Attention Medical Response Team, go to Baja B606."

I was in bed asleep, with my hearing aids out and yet I heard this alert clearly. Kathie was right when she said it was loud in our room.

⁺⁺ I put my BP meter by my bed and used it before getting out of bed.

⁼ I was at work and had a thick slice of baloney and later some crackers; didn’t have much of an appetite.

To be on Stalin’s good side, you had to:

·         Not be a threat to him

·         Be able to provide something he needed

·         Never be critical or tell him the truth

·         Continuously provide affirmation to him

·         Be extremely careful who you associated with

[1] “All good things must come to an end” and so I went “on the needle” (Ozempic) on Friday 24 February 2023. On Tuesday 23 May 2023, it seems like I have been on Ozempic forever. Giving myself an injection, each Friday afternoon no longer is a big deal. It simply is a part of my life…

 

[2] About 3 hours after eating raw carrots for lunch I was “feeling puny” and checked my blood sugar. I was clearly dropping…

 

[3] My morning was confusing and I forgot to test my blood. Shit happens as they say.

 

[4] ^yeah! Such are the benefits of eating very lightly, regular and sometimes strenuous exercise!

 

[5] My Cardiac Surgeon reminded me he wanted daily blood pressure readings. Thus, another thing to take and record.

[6] This was the first day I was hesitant to inject. I did anyway.

[7] I had a peanut butter sandwich two hours before this reading. Other nights, I have had small amounts of meat, veggies and even a small baked potato with a much lower “two hours past forks down” score!

[8] This was the first day I was hesitant to inject. I did anyway.
