    Mounjaro not working

    Conversely, I have been on the 5mg Mounjaro dose for quite some time, and have lost about 12kg of weight over the months. I recently went to 7.5mg, because I was still "feeling fat", and hungry. I seem to remember the very competent Diabetes Specialist Nurse from the Community Diabetes...

    Update to original poster @NicF was speaking yesterday to a good friend of mine who has been on Mounjaro for about 6 months he isn’t diabetic although I suspect is/ was pre T2D and for him it wasn’t until he upped to 10 that weight came off, so might be same case for you, one other thing I was...

    Mounjaro not working

    ...you reach a dose of at least 10mg. You're lucky if you get good results on a lower dose. Hang on in there, if you want to continue with Mounjaro. Things may get better now you have upped the dosage. I came off it because it made me feel awful, didn't do anything for me weight wise and was...

    Mounjaro not working

    Hi @NicF firstly sorry that so far Mounjaro hasn’t helped you I think for us T2,s it’s often very slowly increased through our HCP’s in my case it was slowly increased as I was on insulin when I started taking MJ just over a year ago and only a few months ago went up from 10 to 12.5 I have a...

    Mounjaro not working

    Sorry to hear you’ve not found Mounjaro very effective on lower doses @NicF Have you seen much change in your appetite? I’ll tag in @goodybags @Katetype2 and @ColinUK who I think have found Mounjaro effective in case they have any suggestions based on their experience.

    Mounjaro not working

    Hi, I was put on Mounjaro in Dec 24, increasing the dose every 3 months, currently on 7.5mg. HBa1C has only dropped minimally and only 0.1 kg weight loss. Saw my diabetic nurse today who has upped it to10 mg and told me that are seeing a group of people where nothing happens until they take 10...

    How to get Mounjaro

    You’d be better off asking your team for help @jfairc Mounjaro isn’t recommended for Type 1 and some other drugs aren’t suitable either.

    How to get Mounjaro

    Hello, Total newbie to the forum. Just want to know how did you manage to get Mounjaro, as Boots and other reputable companies seem not to want to give it to you if taking meds for diabetes. Also I’m aware it’s not really available yet through NHS. I’m confused!

    ...@ColinUK my weight is now between 80-81KG I’m fluctuating at the moment, still it’s way down from 103 that I weighed in at when I started Mounjaro just over a year ago, and far less than back when I was over 120 KG, according to my smart scales my % body fat is currently 27%, would ideally...

    Why you need to know about pancreatitis (even if you’re not on a weight-loss jab)

    ...recent MHRA reports of pancreatitis from hundreds of people who have used or are using weight loss drugs such as Ozempic, Wegovy or Mounjaro, for T2 diabetes or weight loss. He discusses some of the mechanisms. The use of the GLP-1 receptor agonist family of drugs may increase the risk of...

    Mounjaro

    Didn’t know this part of the forum existed but I want to say how grateful I am for the scientists who discovered MJ and refined it to the point where it has literally been a lifesaver. I started to take it in September last year and moved up a dose when I felt it wasn’t working as well as it...

    Mounjaro Monday- Week 24 update.

    ...that I am driven enough to push through the discomfort now is something I’m really proud of. I never expected to be that kind of person. Mounjaro symptoms wise, I have experienced a few little tummy aches if I have overestimated how much I can eat. I felt very sick for a few moments after...

    Mounjaro- Insulin Sensitivity ✅

    Hi @SiCee Definitely Mounjaro will affect your need for, and response to insulin, with that in mind be sure you follow the guidance given by your HCP when you started on Mounjaro, regarding lowering your insulin dose as you increase the MJ weekly dose In my case this time last year, when I...
