Congrats on the weight loss. I do have to wonder though just how many that actually need the medication have to go without because so many are using it as a type of diet pill. Diabetics rely on this drug to keep their sugars in check. The shortage is real.

@SlaveEt This is a very real issue! 😊👍🌷

@SlaveEt If people are buying it, I doubt big pharm is going to let a shortage happen. Companies are ALWAYS claiming there is a shortage. Just an excuse for them to price gouge later.

Saintsong might have some type of diabetes and the weight loss is a side effect. I do not know, it is not my business if she does or not.

I think most diabetic meds can cause some weight loss, but I am no expert.

@SlaveEt I'm surprised, and wonder why they constantly advertise if they can't keep up with demand...

@fun4us2b Oh every company is acting like there is a shortage. Bullsh*t. No different than when they sell garbage on TV and say "but hurry, supplies are limited" yeah right.
