    Group 7-day waking average?

    ...and I said being much more mindful about what goes in my mouth, significantly lower carb, exercise etc. They do not know about the Mounjaro. Decided to bin Christmas Day and I’ll go over there on the 27th for dinner instead. Bit stressed about pushing the police for an in person meeting in...

    Mounjaro query

    ...the things necessary. Currently wavering between 10 and 11lbs lost since 18th October - which is all good. I’ve got a quick question about Mounjaro - which I will be starting after Christmas. How long are diabetics allowed to stay on it in the UK? I know that the original guideline was 2...

    Mounjaro a well meaning nurse

    I'm also uneasy about this. Don't get me wrong, Mounjaro, and the like, until all other options are exhausted, and as you are content with your steady losses and strategy, like you, @gail2 I'd want to continue with that. All medications have side effects, although not all users of any given...

    Finally, battle won, thank you forum users!!

    So my insulin regime is an ever changing situation as I'm very regularly on steroids ( currently on 8 a day plus inhaled). It was the hospital consultant who mentioned MJ as 16 months ago I was in hospital for 10 days with bg of 2.1, weighed 4 stone less than I do now. I've since then had...

    I’ve got on fine with Mounjaro thanks @mattski but obviously we are all different, maybe if your GP thinks it might help - hey maybe it will ? I see like me your taking insulin (although I just take a mixed twice daily) so don’t have to juggle like some do If you do try MJ they will account for...

    Finally, battle won, thank you forum users!!

    ...Thank you. It's taken a few arguments and 16 months but all's well that ends well hey!! If you don't mind me asking, how do you find mounjaro? The steroids have somewhat blown me up and a Dr talked about me having weekly injections of it, I had real problems tolerating various drugs from a...

    First consultation with the nurse.

    I was perfectly happy to use the meal replacement shakes, expecting to see my HbA1c reduce - but it didn't, it went up after two months on the diet. Over the two months I did lose weight, but I lost faster when I went back to two low carb meals a day and my waist shrank down another size - I...

    Mounjaro side effects

    Hi everyone, is anyone experiencing side effects from the mounjaro jab. I took my 2nd jab on tues and the sickness and dirrorea since weds had been unbearable. I'm unable to stand due to just wanting to lie down due to feeling sick. Any ideas?

    Has anyone been prescribed Mounjaro? - new drug for weight loss approved by MHRA for people with type 2 diabetes.

    I responded back in May when I was two days into starting Mounjaro. Here we are six months later. First, the not-so-great update. I've had constipation since that first injection. Not once have I been able to go without laxatives and suppositories. I realise belatedly that I haven't been...

    First consultation with the nurse.

    ...was supportive of what you think is right for you. <3 Keep us posted on how you get on with the next few appointments and of course when you start using Mounjaro, and in the meantime, well done on your weight-loss so far. Half a stone isn't something to be sniffed at, that's a decent loss...
