What's preventing you from taking a GLP-1 with a BMI under 20? I started semaglutide with my BMI at 19.

How did you get your prescription?

  • In the UK you just fill in an online form. I don't think anyone is going to come and weigh you to double check what you put in the form is true. Almost zero oversight which is a bit shocking really.

If you don't have diabetes, it would be off label use in that case, which is not illegal.

that's fascinating to me as I've not heard any similar feedback and it seemed counter-intuitive

may I ask for how long now? are you athletic? have you experienced any muscle loss?
