    First consultation with the nurse.

    ...knew from my own research. She then discussed the remission pathway with soups and shakes. I told her that I would like to be considered for Mounjaro instead and she was really positive about it! I will have an appointment just before Christmas to discuss and then look to start it just after...

    Thank you for the reply. My Hba1c is 60 - which I know could be worse, but I’m definitely keen on making sure it doesn’t get worse! The BMI is… let’s just say very high. Got my call with the nurse tomorrow but have already started my weight loss mission. 6lbs off according to this morning’s...

    That’s great you’ve got the 7.5 it worked well for a month then I was ready for the 10mg …mounjaro is so good at letting you drop the insulin and almost feeling that your not a diabetic ☺️ When I was on the 5 mg for first months was only having to take 4 units of insulin before evening meal …...

    Mounjaro

    I’ve finally received the 10mg ☺️ just a shame I had to put so much effort into receiving it . They is no shortage of mounjaro yet ! It was just my diabetic nurse saying Consultant had to authorise it … but consultant saying I had to have my diabetic nurse authorise it ! So I was backwards and...

    Mounjaro

    Dear Goodybags Thanks very much for your reply .. I finally have 10mg of mounjaro … it’s took me 3/4 months to get it after I’d mentioned to my Gp that I’d been advised to complain . Within 10 mins my Gp had made an immediate appointment with my diabetic nurse … she told me what a coincidence...

    ...tell you what your Hba1c was ? also regarding your weight loss, you say you know you will need to achieve some, hence you were wondering if Mounjaro might help if they offer it, firstly do you know what your current BMI is ? also regarding high BS it can make you tired and feeling rotten but...

    ...fluid weight at the start of the diet before the hard slog of losing a pound a week begins. I’m very much hoping that they will let me have mounjaro - although I suspect they will try and push the shakes and soups on me. I don’t want to do meal replacement. I want to eat real, nourishing...

    There is not a right emoji as I wanted to express sympathy for you and thank you for thinking of me. When I first read about this issue it stayed in the back of my mind as I had an Ozurdex injection in July and a checkup in October with the next mid-January. Hope they sort it for you @goodybags .

    ...letter that I can’t find at the moment (remember needing that in a letter to my GP earlier this year) before my GP was happy to prescribe my Mounjaro, despite MJ itself not being a semiglutide which at the time was my HCP’s concern the implant I had recently was Ozurdex (a dexamethasone...

    Hi, I'm staring my mj tomorrow. I will still be on 3 metformin and 1 empagliflozin. I'm glad you haven't had any side effects. I'm hoping it will really help to curb my appetite. I'll post how I'm getting on over the next few days. I'm really pleased I joined this forum as it seems really...

    I just started mounjaro on Friday so early days, was on gliclazide and metformin but dropped the gliclazide on Friday. Kept on metformin. No real side effects so far, strange how it makes me feel, I had been dieting quite strictly and was always very hungry before meals, seems to have got rid...

    Hi @Debla I’ve myself had absolutely no side effects to taking Mounjaro In my case prior to taking Mounjaro, I was taking another Medication that although that also didn’t give me any unpleasant side effect on me (I was taking Trulicity) for me that just didn’t help me the way Mounjaro has since...

    I'm starting mounjaro this week alongside metformin. I'm a little worried about the side effects but definitely feel it's worth a try.

    Mounjaro

    O dear @Lou60 not good to hear that the dosage of Mounjaro require isn’t now going to be available, it might be worth talking to your HCT about the possibility of any alternative I was earlier this year on a different but similar medication to Mounjaro back earlier in the year I was taking...

    Mounjaro

    Sorry to hear about your difficulties in getting a revised dose of a medication you have found so helpful @Lou60 :( Mounjaro is one of the medications that has been used to cover the shortages of Ozempic, which in turn may have caused occasional brief shortages in varying dose sizes...

    Hello I’ve been in mounjaro 8 months . It has been working fabulously making my insulin injections down to under 10 units from 40 units and some days no insulin needed . Sadly I’ve got used to the 5mg dose and was put on the 7.5 dose which is only to get your body used to the next full dose of...
