I been on Mounjaro for over a 1 1/2 now. It works for me!!!
My A1C (last checked) was 5.7 and had lost 65 lbs in a yr. (47yrs old)
However this year- due to a shortage, i was unable to get it from Jan-June, and had to go back on Metformin during that time. Now- July its back in supply and back on it.
I was at the 7.5 level last year and due to being off it, re-started back at 5mg.
I typically do 10K steps a day at work- not so much on weekends
But i also been having other medical issues, that keeps me less active. (been doing BCG immunotherapy treatments for bladder cancer)
(as noted in another thread- blood glucose monitor)
I tried those glucose monitors- Libre 3. did not do well for me as i constantly move my arm and it made the sensor go wrong and come loose.
Totally stopped SODAS!!! i usually drink 0sugar Gatorade. But being in the south, we love our sweet tea.
Good Luck.
I know theres some side effects- diahrea, vomiting etc. I did not get any of that with my stuff. Just nauasea and sulphur burps, but that has receeded to nothing now.
Some folks,like me take the steps slower. Some folks jump levels every month.-- not me. I do like every 3 months or until the cravings for sweets increases.
Let us know how you do.
BTW guys, i just started Blood Pressure medication- Verapilmil. Due to high readings in the 180-190 ranges when i visit the doctors. (white coat syndrome) they say.
