For me I spoke to my Dr and he says it is up to me but he also says that i am in good health so why change what I been doing for 28yrs but still it's my choice I choice not to i say that saying
If It Ain't Broken Don't Fix It
I'm doing good my numbers are good what happens if my body rejects the injection I would not like for something to go wrong but
I say to each is own
Blessings to your choices 🙏

I've decided to pass on it for a couple of years. I need to hear more about the side effects. Especially since you can't un inject yourself as easily as you can change meds. Then if I have to go to the dr to get the injection. That's more than likely a day off work. It's hard to miss work for my regular appointments every six months. I can't imagine going every two.
