No longer on a GLP1
I’m curious, has anyone stopped GLP1 use and transitioned back to meds like metformin? I’ve had two rounds of labs in recent months that show that Ozempic was damaging my liver and pancreas at a rapid pace. Although Victoza worked well enough, my primary doctor is recommending sticking to just metformin as it’s showed to keep my A1C in the prediabetic range. Victoza was fine and my labs didn’t show any alarming elevation in enzymes of concerns with thyroid, though I wasn’t on it long enough before switching to ozempic to know if it had a negative effect.
I’m sad because I gained weight back, but I don’t want to chance damaging my organs solely for the weight loss and slightly better A1C. Can I get everyone’s thoughts on this? I guess I’m looking for validation that I’m making the right move by sticking to a med with a proven track record.
