Wouldn’t taking an antidiabetic drug if you are not diabetic put you into a hypoglycemic coma?

“or maybe they meet the BMI for being overweight but have no medical conditions associated with obesity. So, basically folks want this for vanity weight, and that’s the scary part.”

There is a great interview in the NYT this week with an obesity expert. What she says is that obesity is a medical problem and that we should be treating it with medication. That her patients in the past have illustrated to her that even exercising and eating healthy do not always result in weight loss and the health…

I have taken Hydroxychloroquine for AS for a decade, and it truly gave me a new lease on a life I was no longer sure was worth living due to pain. At the start of the pandemic, my doctor tripled my prescription and said load up baby, because we are going into a shortage due to doctors wrongly prescribing it for Covid…

I have questions if you’re willing to answer, primarily are you on the drug for diabetes or weight loss... I have a friend who was prescribed wegovy for weight loss, she was not a diabetic. insurance covered it, she has lost over 50 pounds, with about 30 to go (in her mind) and now there is indications insurance won’t…

I’ve been on Ozempic for diabetes. Know why you lose weight? Because you’re so damn nauseated you literally can’t eat anything. If that’s how you want to live your life so you can lose 5 lbs., do you, I guess.

A some who is diabetic and couldn’t get this drug in spite of being an ideal candidate because of everyone taking it as the hip new weight loss drug, all of you wanting to take it to lose weight can f*ck all the way off. Spend that money on a gym membership like the rest of us do you lazy a$$holes. Let people who need…

Not to mention that the side effects of these drugs sound pretty terrible. Really not worth 20 pounds https://www.thecut.com/2022/11/ozempic-side-effects.html

I’m pretty sure one of the commercials says something like patients on average lost 14lbs or 18lbs, and I just can’t help but feel like... is it really worth getting medicated for let’s say between 10-20lbs? If 20lbs is making a huge difference to your overall silhouette you’re not that much overweight, and if you ARE…

Ozempic and Wegovy have skyrocked in popularity over the past year.

No shit. I’m on Trulicity, which I’m in love with. The hoops my doctor and I had to jump through to get insurance to cover it was fucking ridiculous. They really don’t want to pay despite the fact I’ve paid my insurance company *plenty* over the last two decades.

If these restrictions on women start hurting men, then maybe it’ll finally be seen for the threat to liberty it has been all along.

Aside from scaling up production, insurance companies really need to just cover the damn thing already for weight loss.

The father or second parent of an unborn child shall be liable to provide financial coverage for medically necessary and appropriate prenatal care received by the mother of the child during her pregnancy, unless the parties have made legally binding arrangements to the contrary. The amount of the financial…

Yup. I’m also guessing they’re looking to give fathers a monetary stake in the baby to open the door so daddies can sue over “property” rights. 

This also seems like something the patriarchy would make so they can claim ownership over someone else.

Wait, I can’t tell: are they trying to make the father/partner pay for ALL medical costs, or just a half share? If it was a half-share, then at least it would be the right thing for terrible gross reasons. If they want the father to pay for all of it...well, Jesus, sexists gonna sexist all the time, I guess.

If their intentions weren’t nefarious and were actually about supporting women, I could support this. But for Republicans, it’s never about supporting women. Ever. 

Whoa, holding men accountable? This will go nowhere fast.

Yeah this also will result in more “fathers” killing pregnant women, which btw is already the leading cause of death for pregnant women https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/hsph-in-the-news/homicide-leading-cause-of-death-for-pregnant-women-in-u-s/#:~:text=October%2021%2C%202022%20%E2%80%93%20Women%20in,Chan%20School%20of…
