    No not for me, no negative side effects if your Dr thinks it will benefit you the way it works is initially (for the first month) Its a introductory dosage of 2.5 mg then in the second month that’s increased to 5mg then can be increased the 3 rd month to 7.5, then 10 etc I think the full dose...

    Moinjaro as alternative to Metformin on NHS?

    You may qualify for that medication but first it may be better to review your diet as over time your carb intake may have crept up pushing your HbA1C into the diabetic zone. Have a look at this link as there may be some ideas that can get you back on track with your diet...

    Moinjaro as alternative to Metformin on NHS?

    ...however my HBA1C has crept back up to 50 and I was considering going back on medication. I'm also obese with hypertension so wanted to try Mounjaro. Is this an option on the NHS or would I have to self fund? I am also on the waiting list for tier 3 NHS weight management program, but it's...

    ...so far has been through my GP, waiting on an app with a nutritionist because at times I do go low, went to 3.6 earlier and am currently struggling to get above 5 at times. Did you have any side effects on mounjaro? Seems like a great place here, definitely helps with the steep learning curve

    Well done on your improvement @JCD, you're obviously working hard to get that hba1c down and improve your fitness. I can't comment on mounjaro since I'm on plain old metformin, but I'm sure there will be others along soon who have experience of it. Keep up the great work!

    So many questions!

    You may be lucky enough to get a monitor prescribed but many who are Type 2 will not partly because many nurses don't believe monitors are one of the tools to help keep a track of your blood glucose day to day and find the effect of meals.

    So many questions!

    ...much better as I have been so bad with food this year (I had not been told I was diabetic until last week!). Dr has discussed putting me on Mounjaro, which would be good because I have a huge amount of weight to shift. Anyway, I have a lot of questions but the first thing I want to get a...

    Hello. I’m overwhelmed.

    It is not always about weight. I was pre-diabetic without being overweight. Lost weight and ended up underweight and it still did not go down and my GP said it was not weight related and to stop the weight loss. He thought it might be increased insulin resistance with age. I got back to...
