If you've been anywhere near social media lately, you’ve probably heard about Ozempic. It's being called a “game changer” for weight loss and diabetes and it's not just hype. With global sales hitting nearly $17 billion, Ozempic is now competing with giants like insulin ($19B) and cholesterol drugs ($18B). But how did this weekly injection become such a Sensation?
Let’s break it down in simple terms—and show you how Diabexy’s Low GI food range can boost your results if you're using Ozempic in India.
What Is Ozempic & Why Is Everyone Talking About It?
Ozempic is a weekly injection that acts like a hormone your body already makes—called
GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1). When this hormone is active, it:
• Helps your body release insulin (but only when needed)
• Slows down how fast your stomach empties (so you stay full longer)
• Reduces hunger (so you naturally eat less)
• Keeps your blood sugar more stable
Originally, Ozempic was made to treat Type 2 diabetes. But during its use, doctors noticed something surprising—people were losing a lot of weight without even trying. In many cases, users dropped 10–15% of their body weight. Naturally, word spread fast.
Let’s Go Back: How Ozempic Came to be to understand Ozempic, we need to rewind the clock a bit:
• 1923: Insulin was discovered. A breakthrough moment in diabetes care.
• 1930s: Scientists noticed that drinking sugar caused more insulin release than
injecting it. That led them to wonder—what’s happening in the gut?
• 1980s: They found the answer: a hormone called GLP-1, made in the intestine. It
boosts insulin, lowers sugar-making in the liver, slows digestion, and reduces
appetite.
• 2005: The first drug copying GLP-1 (Exenatide) came out—but it needed two
injections daily.
• 2010: Victoza came next—only one injection a day.
• 2018: Then came Ozempic—just one injection a week, with even better results.
Why It Works for Weight Loss
Ozempic slows down how fast your stomach empties. That might not sound like much, but it’s a big deal. When food stays in your stomach longer, you feel fuller for longer—so you eat less without even thinking about it. This helped people who struggled with sticking to diets. No more constant hunger or food cravings. Just a natural reduction in appetite.
What About Mounjaro?
In 2022, another drug called Mounjaro came on the scene. It goes a step further by
targeting two hormones—GLP-1 and GIP. That double effect means:
• Even more reduced hunger
• Potentially greater weight loss than Ozempic
Right now, Mounjaro’s availability in India is limited, but interest is growing fast.
How to Get Ozempic in India
Ozempic is a prescription-only medicine, which means you need to speak to a doctor first.
Larger pharmacies and specialized diabetes clinics are more likely to stock it, though
availability may vary across cities.
Side Effects: What You Should Know
Most people handle Ozempic well, but like any medicine, there can be side effects:
Common Side Effects:
• Nausea

• Low appetite
Rare but Serious:
• Pancreatitis
• Kidney problems
• Thyroid issues
Always start with your doctor’s guidance and stick to the right dose.
Why Diet Still Matters (And Where Diabexy Comes In)

you want better blood sugar and lasting weight loss.
