We would like to hear about people’s experiences of using semaglutide, a drug sold under the brand name of Ozempic for people with type-2 diabetes, and as Wegovy for certain groups of people with obesity.

Ozempic is already available on prescription in the UK, while thousands of people with obesity will be able to get Wegovy on the NHS after a watchdog approved its use, with the drug also expected to become available through online pharmacies.

Have you taken semaglutide for type-2 diabetes or weight loss? Or are you considering it? How do you feel the advent of these weight-loss drugs?
