Can Glucophage and Ozempic cause hypoglycaemia? What happens when I stop Ozempic?

The listed drugs in themselves do not cause hypoglycemia. The risk of hypoglycaemia increases when combined with insulin (administered by injection) or drugs from the group of sulphonylureas (e.g. Diaprel, Amaryl, Glibetic). It is true that Ozempic increases the secretion of its own insulin and sensitizes tissues to it, but this process occurs only in response to food and an increase in blood glucose - so the risk of hypoglycaemia is small. There is no one answer to the second question, because there are also no guidelines as to how long the therapy should last, how to discontinue the drug and after what time. It all depends on the individual situation of the patient. As for what happens when we discontinue the drug, a lot depends on what stage of treatment the patient is at. If we used the drug, but we managed to lose excess pounds, we did not change our eating habits, lifestyle (smoking, alcohol, sleep, stress) and we return to the habits that caused obesity, overweight, type 2 diabetes - this, unfortunately, but we can return to the starting point. However, if the patient, in addition to using the drug, has changed his relationship with food, physical activity and has also managed to lose weight, it is very possible that the drug can be discontinued without a high risk that our condition will deteriorate again. Much is in the hands of the patient himself and how much he has engaged in treatment. Of course, kilograms are also followed by results, e.g. blood glucose concentration.
