    Low blood sugars

    I would suggest this isn’t quite true. Many people with diabetes but not on insulin do need to treat their hypos. If you are on a medication that can cause hypos for example gliclazide this should be explained to you and a meter provided. For metformin and mounjaro this is not the case though.

    Low blood sugars

    No need to be worried or to try and make it go up. It’s probably higher than 3.8 anyway but you won’t have dangerous hypos on those medications and 3.8 is a normal blood sugar. It’s only on medication that can force it to carry on dropping that it would be treated as a hypo.

    Mounjaro

    The important thing is that you are being checked out promptly and the possible cause of the problem (Mounjaro) has been stopped. Do let us know the outcome of the scan and what your proposed new treatment is.

    Thank you, it is a worry but it does seem something that is happening.

    Mounjaro

    ...I did worry that it might be the start of pancreatitis although that would generally be upper stomach and back pain. Hope all goes well with the scan and they are able to pinpoint and treat the problem relatively quickly and easily and that stopping the Mounjaro will help things to settle down.

    Proliferative retinopathy and mounjaro

    ...plus managing cholesterol & blood pressure are the best approach for limiting sight complications & slowing progression. Hopefully the Mounjaro will start to work for you in time, can the dose be changed? It is so perverse that rapid improvement in glucose levels can speed up retinopathy...

    Proliferative retinopathy and mounjaro

    ...to find anything that worked. I'm an educated woman but just couldn't get the levels (or weight) down. In the last year, I started mounjaro (which frustratingly has not made any difference to weight) and gliclizide, my sugars with finger prick test are now usually around 5 to 6 mmol, so so...

    Mounjaro Monday - Week 25 update

    Hello, Week 25 on Mounjaro saw me lose 2lbs - enough to hit the 80lb milestone! However, I am currently up about a pound and a half - so the fluctuation fairy has been doing her work. As per usual, it’s probably a mix of exercise, the heat and a little muscle gain. I’m not worried and for my...

    OZEMPIC !

    I will tag @goodybags who may be able to help as he has been using Mounjaro with insulin and reducing his insulin, although I think he is on mixed insulin, so perhaps not an identical situation. Which basal insulin are you using and when do you take it? Are you using a Constant Glucose...

    Should I ask for an Insulin change?

    ...to the NHS!] I've been on Levemir ever since I went onto insulin from metformin only (20 years ago, since you ask!) but now I'm also on Empagliflozin and Mounjaro, I'm questioning whether I still need to take a long-acting insulin at all. To be discussed further closer to the demise of...
