A UK mum has stunned friends and family after losing an incredible 8 stone in just eight months – all thanks to diabetes weight-loss jabs.
Claire, a 42-year-old from Manchester, struggled with her weight for years before discovering Ozempic, a medication typically prescribed for type 2 diabetes that also suppresses appetite.
"I couldn't believe the results," Claire told reporters. "For the first time in my adult life, I felt in control of my eating habits."
From Size 22 to Size 12
Before her transformation, Claire wore a size 22 and avoided social situations due to low self-esteem. Now, she confidently flaunts a size 12 figure and has completely transformed her lifestyle.
"I used to dread clothes shopping," she admitted. "Now I love trying on outfits and feeling good about myself."
How the Treatment Works
The injectable medication works by:
- Slowing stomach emptying
- Reducing hunger signals to the brain
- Helping regulate blood sugar levels
While primarily for diabetes patients, some doctors are prescribing it off-label for weight loss in certain cases.
Life-Changing Results
Beyond the physical changes, Claire reports:
- More energy to play with her children
- Improved sleep quality
- Better overall health markers
- Renewed confidence
Warning: Medical experts caution that these medications should only be used under professional supervision and aren't suitable for everyone.
