If you use a glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) receptor agonist such as semaglutide, exenatide, dulaglutide, liraglutide, or lixisenatide, have you experienced difficulties refilling your prescription due to product shortages? (Some brand name examples of GLP-1 medications include Ozempic, Trulicity, Rybelsus, etc.)

I was prescribed this medicine but due to exorbitant cost have not been able to use, $500/mo is too rich even after insurance and coupons.
Honestly, I’ve never heard of these medications, and don’t know what they do.
Read about it here: https://t1dexchange.org/t1d-hormones/

Thank you, Ginger
I’m on the lowest dose possible and live in a small-population area…so my pharmacist says that’s prevented shortages for my dosing needs! She said the larger doses were delayed, though.
I asked my Endo and he told me that Medicare will not cover these, yet at least. Prescribing to T1d is “off label”
Taking Mounjaro 10mg with 23 lbs weight loss over 6 months (started on Ozempic). 10mg fills available
by CVS usually next day. No n/v experienced on Mounjaro compared to nasty vomiting on Ozempic. I feel blessed to receive this medication each month, even more blessed that I have $0 copay, even off-label as a T1D.
I am on a very low dose of Victoza and have been for several years. I have not had difficulty getting the Rx filled. It has helped tremendously with appetite satiety to control stress eating inclinations with a gradual loss of 25 lb excess body weight. My endo provider carefully documents such details of positive progressive results in her clinical notes.
