I'm currently on 10mg of Ozempic and plan to reduce to 5mg. It's expensive and I think I can maintain my weight loss at 5mg. I've been monitoring my blood sugars closely since starting this medication, and I'll need to continue doing so if I lower the dose to ensure both my weight management and glucose control remain stable.
As a new member here, I should introduce myself - I'm Mari, and I joined this forum because I've been navigating GLP-1 medications for both weight management and blood sugar control. I'm committed to safe medication use and harm reduction, and I'm here to learn from others' experiences while sharing my own journey responsibly.
The cost savings would be significant for me, and based on my previous experience with medication adjustments, I believe the lower dose could still be effective while being more sustainable financially.
