Hello friends and network! November is National Diabetes Awareness month. This year this coincided with a shortage in the supply of Ozempic, a drug used to treat adults with type 2 diabetes but that has also been prescribed for "off-label' uses. (1/n)

Approximately 36% of #Newfoundlanders and #Labradorians live with diabetes or prediabetes according to @DiabetesCanada . It has now become a reality that many diabetics in Canada can no longer get #Ozempic prescriptions filled to manage their #diabetes due to supply shortages.
