Description
Ginger (Type 1) was last on the podcast in February and, at that time, we primarily discussed her usage of Metformin. When her February episode came out, she was using both Metformin and Ozempic (newly started) to control her dawn phenomenon and improve insulin sensitivity. She continues to use both drugs and has developed a good understanding of how they work in her body. I thought it would make sense to have her back on to get an update on how things are going for her as she now has 9 months of Ozempic under her belt. Even if you are not a Type 1, I think you find this episode to be extremely informative. We discuss in depth such topics as other similar drugs to Ozempic (Wegovy, Trulicity, Mounjaro), weight loss, hunger while on these drugs, and insulin needs over time, etc. In addition to discussing Ozempic, we talk about low blood sugars (how to avoid over treating them) and her new book on exercise and Type 1 Diabetes (see link below).
