    And so it begins… Mounjaro is go go go!

    Hello. Just given myself my first Mounjaro jab! A few nerves leading up to doing it, but it really wasn’t bad - a sharp scratch at most. Now we wait… fingers crossed that the Mounjaro gods will smile on me and I won’t be up all night with side effects. Weight is going the right way...

    Experiences of Mounjaro?

    hi @CatLady2024 I’ve been on Mounjaro for just over 6 months now myself I’m slightly suprised whoever had prescribed it didn’t go through what you would expect, were you prescribed through your HCP or is it a PrivatePrescription (Self Funded) ? I’m assuming as your at risk of Diabetes possibly...

    Dexcom One + v Libre 2+

    I don't think this is strictly true as they are both priced the same to the NHS BUT the Dexcom reps have been doing individual special deals with certain GP practices where they are slightly undercutting the agreed NHS price if that surgery moves the majority of it's patients onto their system...

    Group 7-day waking average?

    ...DC was in agreement with me, and quite happy to leave it that my current Meds should be as is, the Consultant reminded me that maybe as my Mounjaro dose increases, might need to be reduce insulin doses (if needed) to reduce likelihood of any hypo’s especially as I’m loosing a good amount of...

    Information for type 1 and pump

    ...need to so much and my stomach has shrunk as a result. The problem with the GLP-1 medications that you inject once a week like Ozempic and Mounjaro are firstly that they only work to supress your appetite as long as you use them, from what I have read and you have to steadily increase the...

    Welcome to the forum @JULIE D How are you finding the Mounjaro? Are you seeing BG changes as well as a curbed appetite? Are you running out of Mounjaro at the end and it’s not got enough for the final dose?

    Mounjaro

    ...@JULIE D even if you’ve not seen much of a weight loss, yes you will need to keep an eye on your BG levels as you increase the dose of Mounjaro, whilst taking insulin I’ve now been on the 7.5 for about 6 weeks now in fact I have a review with my GP next week in readiness for moving me up to...

    Mounjaro

    ...luckily I have had no problems up to now on the lower doses but time will tell. I also take insulin she told me to keep my eye on my levels and reduce insulin if I'm going too low. I've not lost much weight yet but I'm hoping. My levels have been better since taking mounjaro though which is good

    Hi Julie. I have just completed my first four weeks on Mounjaro, and like you thought I must have missed a dose as there seemed to be a dose left in the pen after I had my last injection. Diabetic nurse was as surprised as I was! Concluded that if I had followed all the instructions correctly...
