    What's the problem with the diabetes drug? Is it just because the fat person didn't ask? Also damn, I feel awful for people who have these kinds of doctors, I feel lucky cause I've never had to deal with a doctor like that.

      Ozempic hasn't been on the market that long (2017). I don't think its long term side effects when used for weight loss (which as noted, is not even the main thing it's meant to address) are well defined.

      "This diabetes drug" is a reference to Ozembic, which has a very popular off-label use as a weight loss drug. It completely suppresses your appetite. Practically every female celebrity is taking it these days.

        the weight loss from Ozempic is massively overhyped https://maintenancephase.buzzsprout.com/1411126/13747346-ozempic
