My Diabetic facilator wants me to try a new insulin injection, i cant remember its name but it is suppose to help hunger feeling and lose weight, i am currently on humilin1 anyone heard of this please
 
It’s probably not insulin but a different type of medicine, was it a GLP1 like ozempic?

Are you sure it’s actually an insulin? I don’t know of any insulins that make these claims. There are however other injectables, like Semaglutide, that help with weight loss and diabetes control.

Edit. @Lucyr types faster than I do. I think Ozempic and semaglutide are the same thing, one is the brand name, the other the generic drug name.
