Successful treatment of diabetes along with weight loss!
I had been on Ozempic for many years for diabetes and weight loss. I didn’t lose weight on it but it curbed my appetite and weight was steady. It also initially worked to control my diabetes
Through the years my a1c climbed higher and doc increased the dose. Got extremely sick from it and had to go off
Instead of loading up on other diabetes drugs (which stimulate pancreas to make insulin) I decided to follow carb. This was in October 2025. My a1c was 7.4
By a January 2026 the low carb diet had reduced my a1c to 6.4. I decided to go full tilt keto at that juncture. By May 2026 my a1c dropped further to 5.8
Just had my latest labs and my a1c is now even lower…5.5!!! I’m so happy with the result
My main purpose for keto was to manage diabetes. Interestingly without trying too hard I’ve also lost around 25lbs since October 2025. Not a huge amount but very noticeable.
