Yes I am aware of this. Hoping to modify diet and keep the dose low 0.25mg to 0.5mg to avoid complications. Maybe reach goal then quit.

My fasting #s are in the pre-diabetic range to. Never below 105. This way insurance will pay for it.

I started Ozempic 8/11/23, yesterday at 0.25mg. I have been stuck in the 230s for over a year now. 3.5 years out VSG. Hoping it helps me get back into the swing of things. Will monitor closely for side effects.

I have late dumping , hypoglycemia , Triggered by large amounts of processed sugar or alcohol sugars. Very symptomatic / scary but treatable and avoidable . Glad I still have my old blood glucose monitor ! Best wishes.

I think the 65 grams of sugar in that damd chocolate malt was the trigger , brownies 25 grams and a 2 mile hike a couple weeks ago. More than a week's worth of sugar all at once. Just like catwoman7 says .
