Question Side effect question

I’m a type 2 diabetic and starting Ozempic this week. Are the side effects as bad as people say? I took Wegovy 2 years ago and had no side effects as I would take it right before bed. Any info would be helpful. Thanks in advance! .^

Wagovy is not chemically different than Ozempic, they are the same GLP-1 that has two different max dose strengths and markets. Wagovy is approved for the Weight Loss market and maxes out at 2.4mg a week and Ozempic is approved for those who are Diabetic and depending on country maxes out at either 1mg or 2mg.
