Just as a caution for this, a lot of the assistance programs for the GLP-1s don't actually support state healthcare programs from what I've seen, unfortunately.
My endocrinologist wants to get my A1C down (and I could stand to lose a bit of weight in general) since it's fairly high (just barely touching pre-diabetic levels), and they've only been able to get me on Trulicity for now. Insurance themselves will only cover GLP-1s if all the other A1C drugs completely fail (and show no results for X amount of time), they won't approve it under just general weight loss alone.
Something to look out for!
i have been on my state’s insurance with my GLP-1 so i know it’s already something they approve and accept, thankfully. but yes! everyone should check before making a switch.
Oh, nice! Congrats on your journey so far by the way, and good luck with the rest!
thank you so much. i truly gave up believing this was possible for me.
