If in July you weighed 77 kg (I understood so), and now you weigh 69 kg, you lost 8 kg - congratulations! That's not a small thing at all, and weight loss doesn't happen overnight. If you were supposed to lose 15 kg (I understand that this is a doctor's recommendation) then you are halfway there! This is a huge advance and you should be proud of yourself. I will not agree with the statement that the drug does not work. In each person, the effects appear at a different time, sometimes the weight loss is faster and sometimes slower. There may also be moments when the weight again jumps 2-3 kg up, and then it will only begin to fall. The most important thing in this process is to develop healthier eating habits and regular activity, which will stay with you for years. Working out your ways and tools will help you in worse moments to get back on track faster. If, apart from the drug, you follow the recommendations related to lifestyle changes, congratulations! This is the moment when you can do a lot of good for your health and not lead to the development of type 2 diabetes in the future. Also, if the doctor does not see any contraindications and recommends the use of the drug (I do not know your results or other parameters - even waist circumference, hips, BMI), and you tolerate the substances well, it is worth trusting the doctor. Fasting glucose levels in the range of 89-92 mg/dl are normal. I keep my fingers crossed for you, please do not give up in changing your lifestyle and appreciate the work you have done so far. :) By the way, I remind you that if you will use the drug, you should regularly replace the needles.
