Im not sure why I shared Jardiance 🤦‍♀️
You can’t watch a TV show without seeing Ozempic or Rybelsus commercials.
So why the big marketing push?
They both belong to the class called GLP-1 Agonists which include Trulicity and Victoza.
The early versions first hit the market in 2006 (Byetta and Bydureon).
Along the way the effectiveness/utility was improved with Victoza (2010), Trulicity (2014), Ozempic (2017) and finally Rybelsus (2020).
Being so "new" none are available as a generic.

Valid question and one that in particular the newly diagnosed may ask.
There can be a few reasons why a Type 2 would want to treat "without meds".

.
I will NOT see that as some failure on my part. I will not resist. In fact it is quite likely that I will ask about starting medication long before the Doc suggests it - control is more important then pride.
Hi! I just joined, because of Synjardy and Ozempic side effects. Is anyone else having trouble with one or both of them
I was diagnosed with DMII years ago but it was actually Pre-Diabetes until this year. Endocrinologist started me on Jardiance but my last A1c was higher so he switched me to Synjardy. The 1st side effect was diarrhea, but it's not all the time. I had stomach pain and nausea. Also decreased appetite--yay, right?! My 1st Ozempic shot was Wed and I've felt worse every day since.… read more
I am having an issue due to Ozempic causing severe nausea and vomiting to the point that I became severely dehydrated. I won't be taking any more Ozempic but until it's all out of my system, I am still very nauseous. Is it okay to skip my metformin dose until I feel better?
