Western Canada: Ozempic, and the growing problem of Americans buying B.C.’s supply
David Williams, 62, prepares a weekly shot of Ozempic for his wife Darlene Harris-Williams, 60, who has lost 86 pounds on the drug, at home in Edmonton, Alberta on Wednesday, December 14, 2022. "It's a crawl not a sprint," says Harris-Williams who feels accomplished dropping a steady 1-3 lbs week. She had been through every weight loss plan on the market without sustainable success, so she had given up. By the time she sought help she could not stand without excruciating pain in her knees, but this time Harris-Williams believes she will succeed—and the couple will be able to get back to the life of travel they once loved. She is hoping the drug will be more widely prescribed for bariatric patients. Amber Bracken for The Globe and Mail
