Nearly three months into taking Ozempic for diabetes, Jenny Kent had already lost 12 pounds, and her blood sugar numbers were looking better than they had in a while.
Ozempic, the injectable drug approved for Type 2 diabetes, has taken the world by storm.
Despite not being approved by the Food and Drug Administration for weight loss, Ozempic has prompted people on TikTok and Instagram to speculate about which stars have used it to shed pounds seemingly overnight.
The drug has become so popular that it's been in short supply for much of the past year.
But for Kent something else changed after she started taking Ozempic.
