Just starting Saxenda

After 2 years of Ozempic and the insurance company kicked me off of it since I am pre-diabetic and not type 2. Can't afford $1200 a month. Insurance will not cover Saxenda, wegovy, or zepbound. Mounjaro needs type 2 diagnosis as well.

So after pricing all those medications out of pocket and trying to find coupons. I can get saxenda 1 pen prescription for $245.00 a month. So to last a full month that's. 06mg per day and not increasing dosage.

I want to go into maintence anyway since I am under a bmi of 30 now at 28. I am terrified of being without a GLP1 medication. I have had 2 years of no food noise, no desire for soda or alcohol. Lower inflammation, many many benefits of a GLP1.

So I am hoping just taking .06mg will still give me all those benefits.

The alternative is go off completely likely gain the 40lbs I lost and hope to get my A1C to type 2 diabetes to play the game the insurance wants to play. Get sicker to get the medication. Then get better because of medication and get kicked off again.

Hoping for the best.
