I would say having a dad who is a type 2 diabetic on ozempic the biggest issue I see is diabetics who actually need the medication for it’s initial purpose cannot find it at their local pharmacies. While people who are taking it to lose the extra 10 to 20 lbs are taking up the supply in the suburban areas.
It’s sad seeing someone who actually need the medication has to travel almost 2 hours just to find his prescription, while upper class gay men who have contacts are taking this medication instead of adjusting their diet or even just change their exercise routine and talking about taking ozempic like it’s taking a multivitamin.
That’s the main reason why I am trying to change my habits now, I have family members who have health issues like this on both sides and I don’t want to rely on these types of medication that we don’t know the overall long term effect’s especially if it’s not it’s initial purpose.
Just my viewpoint based on the scope of the world I live in.
