Ozempic Usage Log
I was diagnosed type 2 Diabetic Friday 7 May 2004
I have been on different pills since Monday 10 March 2023
but never on the needle!
For years, different MDs and RNs tried to convince me to
"go on the needle" (my term), insulin, saying I would feel
better. I remembered the huge needles and the number of times a day my late
Father and late youngest brother Charlie had to use. That was not for me!
On Monday, 13 February 2023 my VA Nurse Practitioner told
me my A1C was climbing and that I would either have to go on insulin daily or
Ozempic once a week. She said I no longer had a choice. She also said VA
provided Ozempic is "much, much less" than in the civilian
market [words to that effect]. (It is!)
So, I agreed to "go on the needle".
I received my first Ozempic Pen 21 February 2023 A couple
of RNs at the local VA clinic supervised me giving myself that first shot. It
basically did not hurt!
Thus, I am going to be on Ozempic "for the
duration". The main affects are I've lost appetite and do not have
much interest in drinking alcohol. (My interest in drinking has been dropping
for years anyway.)
Here, then, is my running record:
February 2023
The initial four doses were 0.25 mg each with doses 5 and 6
increasing to 0.5 mg. Subsequent doses will be 0.5 mg each.
