"This is, like, such a thing dude on TikTok. Anybody makes a video, 'You're on Ozempic.' Like, the video could be about anything. My video has nothing to do with my weight, my body, nothing. 'Ozempic!' I literally can't. It's everywhere bro. It's all I see."

She continued:

What is Ozempic?

While we're talking about the Ozempic, let's talk about the hoopla around them for those who aren't familiar.

Adults with type 2 diabetes are frequently administered Ozempic to assist reduce blood sugar levels. It functions by boosting the liver's synthesis of insulin, lowering the quantity of glucose it produces, and delaying the rate at which food is absorbed from the digestive tract. This promotes better glycemic management and lowers blood sugar levels.

While managing blood sugar levels, Ozempic may result in weight loss, but it is widely prescribed as a diabetic medication.
