GLP

I'm asking one simple question. How come this expensive GLP showed up just as insulin became so much more reasonable in cost? In addition if you stop using, your weight goes back up. It's like an addiction, you need to keep using. Very profitable for drug companies again.

My quality of life is much improved because of it. I've switched from Ozempic to a generic glp-1 at a much lower cost.

These type of drugs are life savers. Their only drawback is cost and prices are coming down.

The other "drawback" is the drugs killed my desire to drink alcohol. I am now a nondrinker. I do miss my evneing nightcap though.
