After my two latest doctor visited showed high A1C, I was prescribed Ozempic.
I've lost a bit of weight over the past 5 weeks, high single digit, but I think that a lot of that is just a reduction in stomach contents.
I haven't so much noticed a reduction in appetite as I have noticed an increase in satiety. I get full faster, and I stay full longer.
Some interesting factoids at this point, first. there are preliminary indications that GLP-1 drugs may prevent certain cancers , and second, Canada just licensed generic GLP-1 drugs.
In any case, I am definitely eating less.

If you continue having problems controlling your A1C consider using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM). I've had elevated A1C for over 20 years. Started using a CGM in 2024. Been able to control my A1C into the normal range since. Helps me to control both how much I eat and what foods are good or bad for me.
