  • Getting Ozempic with Type 1 Diabetes

    Skip the insurance guys and stubborn doctors. Get Ozempic at Yara.

    We know hundreds of people using Ozempic with type 1 diabetes — and the benefits are clear: insulin needs decrease, appetite calms down, blood sugars are easier to manage, A1c improves, time-in-range improves, etc. But actually getting Ozempic with T1D is still really difficult despite the obvious benefits.

    In this episode, we talk about how people are getting doctors to write the scripts, insurance approval if the doctors are willing to do the prior authorization process OR how people are getting it when doctors and insurance won't cooperate.

      • Taking Ozempic & Metformin with Type 1 Diabetes

        Why are people with type 1 diabetes taking medications for type 2 diabetes? Actually, there are a dozen reasons why meds like Ozempic and metformin can help in managing T1D! Did you know there are five other hormones (beyond insulin) that your body doesn't produce properly with T1D? These medications can help your body compensate for the lack of those other hormones.


        Ginger and Sami dig into the details — unscripted and hardly edited! We're spilling the tea on T1D.
