Wegovy making it hard to exercise?

[BrainInAJar]

Hello all,

I have lost 2 stone on Ozempic/Wegovy since summer, going from 13st to 11st.

I'm very short so probably another 2 stone to go. (I'm 40).

I'm currently on 2mg and have been for about a month. I try to stick to low-ish carb.

Sometimes standing in the shower or when active (eg on a cleaning blitz today) I will feel a little shaky. Even if I have eaten. I guess lowering your blood sugar is part of the way the medication works

I'm hoping to up my exercise as I get closer to goal weight and the weather improves and I can get outside.

Will I have to lower/stop Ozempic to do this?

Thanks

I’m really struggling with sickness and weakness and only in week 2. Had been hoping to get to the gym and out walking all week but just too weak!

I'm on week 1 and feel really weak. I went to the gym yesterday and it was a big struggle. I feel lightheaded and empty.

Can you talk to your diabetic nurse? It's possibly not the right dose if you're getting sugar lows like this - and they can be quite dangerous if not managed properly. I feel way worse with low blood sugar than I do with high.
