In this episode we share our second week's results.
Spoiler: Jon had reasonable results, Charlene had the expected plateau.
We also talk about how you get a prescription for Ozempic, what the availability issue is like right now, and how much it costs.
You'll also find a screenshot of the costs and availability spreadsheet that Jon made on our instagram: @ozempicdiariespod
