8th March, 2023.
Yes: it’s officially Wednesday.
And?
It’s a day I’ve working up to snow … and the need to reset my boiler!
That’s the second time, this week.
One more time, I think I’ll be phoning the landlords, to see what they say.
Twice is coincidence, an’ all that!
~≈♨️≈~
I have type two diabetes: in case you couldn’t tell.
I’m on a range of medication: including Metformin, the standard many of us get.
And, as from a few months ago? A new medication, called Semaglutide: branded under the names, Ozempic and Wegovy.
I’m on it as it’s considered to be a powerful medication in lowering blood sugars, and — in part — because it’s also been found to help with weigh loss.
Something I know I struggle with.
It’s been mildly helpful with the weight.
But generally more helpful for the blood sugars.
The drug’s also proved newsworthy … as many celebrities have been buying it: to help them lose weight.
Something I’ve always felt a little bit resentful of.
I — and many others — need it to deal with our blood sugars: the cast of The Only Way is Essex, don’t need it at all.
They can exercise a lot more easily than I can.
At any rate … ?
It’s been
announced that drug can now be used by the NHS: and prescribed to patients who’ve been on various weight management programmes, and
only to patients on these programmes.
Hopefully? That will help with the supply issues.
And mean those of us who need it are prioritised over those of us who want it.

As a FINAL though … ?
Yes: my nephew, Jude, was over, yesterday.
And, yes: a video was made.
I hope you enjoy it!
