Belly fat
Hi. I'm Mary been in menopause since age 56 now 63. Can't lose this belly for nothing. Done the gym walk 2 miles a day belly wrap and then some. It just will not go away. I'm type 2 diabetic and taking Ozempic. Its keeping my A1C down put not my weight. I give up.
I know how you feel I am diabetic type 2 also on mounjaro still belly fat.
I'm 66 and having the same issue. Seeing an endocrinologist for some blood tests next month. At least they didn't tell you "most 66 year old women have that". 😠 I go to the gym 3x a week. Not a diabetic though but I'm sure I have insulin resistance. I'll keep ya'll posted on what I find out. Keep on searching Mary, you'll find answers!
we never talked about it. But did ask about a change in meds which may help me to lose more weight. But that was a no because the Ozempic is keeping my A1c where it needs to be. So, what next. been thinking about buying GLP 1 over the counter. But not sure if I should take more with the Ozempic.
That is a question you should ask your doctor. Since Ozempic is a GLP-1, I'd be cautious about adding a second GLP-1. Please let us know what your doctor says. All the best, Kathy (Team member)
Hi, Mary. Thanks for sharing your experience. I am so sorry you are going through this. Changes in hormones because of menopause can cause the body to store more fat around the abdomen ("belly fat.") This type of weight gain can increase the risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease. For many people it is stubborn! I'm glad you are keeping tabs on your Type 2 Diabetes. That will help your overall health. Does your doctor who prescribed the Ozempic have any ideas why it isn't impacting your weight? All the best, Kathy (Team member)
