    Empagliflozin

    ...very many months ago. Because of the fascinating quantity of medications I'm already on, I don't really know whether it has had any significant effect [I'm also on insulin and Mounjaro], but I can't report any side-effects attributable to empagliflozin. What scares you about flozins, by the way?

    Mounjaro Backwards Spiral

    That's what I thought but instead they've halved it to 5mg the day I reached pre-diabetes level. 10mg might have controlled and maintained it at least. I can't find anyone who has had it halved. There is nobody else, the diabetes nurses at the surgery have control of it all. Can't even speak to...

    Weight loss injections - any advice before I start

    Both Mounjaro and Ozempic are available on the NHS but very strict criteria has to me met to qualify for these medications on prescription. The other option is to privately fund but as you're a Type 1 diabetic, you still wouldn't be able to get it as the jab is not currently licenced for Type 1...

    ...include a succinct, unemotional statement of the facts, with a record of eg your BG readings over time referenced to when you started on Mounjaro & when your dosages changed. If you're not achieving glycemic control with 10mg then all indications are that you should keep titrating up to...

    ...the continuous food noise in your head). I feel your pain with that one. What I do know however is the recommended maintenance dose of Mounjaro is 15mg, so at 10mg you still had a way to go before you actually hit the maintenance dose. Go and get another opinion. If you only have one...

    Mounjaro Backwards Spiral

    Hi, Can't find a post I made a long time ago so making a new one as in desperate need of advice. I was put on Mounjaro months ago. Nothing had ever worked for me to lower sugars or to help with weight. I suffer with depression and an anxiety disorder which is severe so I am an emotional eater. I...

    Some advice please!!

    ...my appetite. Do make sure you do some exercise and get advice and support as to what to eat. @Katetype2 has been posting each week about her diabetes journey including her use of mounjaro. She started needing to lose a lot of weight and is making huge ( and sucessful) efforts with exercise.

    Some advice please!!

    Thank you so much for this saffron15 :) I was not prescribed moujarno by my GP, I began taking it believing it had a good chance at helping with my issues around emotional eating and the insatiable sugar cravings, and has definitely helped, though I am only on my second pen. Not sure re my...

    Some advice please!!

    really interesting what you've written here about the Ryvitas and cream cheese. I'm really excited about being able to know what different foods do for me, will be so great not to just be fumbling around cluelessly in the dark. Very empowering. Thanks again :)

    Mounjaro

    My GP hasn’t recommended it, I can’t see me getting it as I’m not on any meds just managing it through diet at the moment however I’m having my bloods checked again on Thursday will probably pay for it privately

    Some advice please!!

    Were you prescribed mounjaro by your GP? Have you had an hba1c? Looks at last three months of glucose in blood. If not prescribed by GP, are you getting the appropriate tests and support. There are a number of forum members writing about how they are coping. I lost a stone between diagnosis...

    Some advice please!!

    ...up to around 5 or 6. Would time restricted eating on a daily basis rather than alternate day fasting work better for you if you are taking mounjaro.? Maybe try testing your blood glucose regularly for a while will help you see how it varies during the day and which meals spike your levels or...

    Some advice please!!

    ...to think that this must be a blood sugar thing - that I had actually now got T2D, ( and it would have been a miracle if I hadn't), and the mounjaro was causing my sugars to drop to low. So on the particular day that it got really bad, I had taken the mounjaro shot in the morning, and then...

    1 injection of 5 units vs 5 injections of 1 unit?

    The Mounjaro KwikPen appears to have a devious mechanism within it which causes problems if you do not inject the full 60 'clicks' worth of liquid (the direct equivalent of injecting 60 units of insulin) in a single operation. Of course Mounjaro is supposed to operate over a complete week [has...

    Mounjaro

    I am another type 2 prescribed Mounjaro by the DN. My weight loss has been slower than some of the others on this forum, but it is steadily coming off.

    Mounjaro Monday - Week 22 update

    ...had to chuckle at the gym today as my sister told me that I’ve “got no ar*e anymore” - not quite true, but it is smaller than it was haha. Mounjaro symptom wise - I had one blip on Friday. I ate both strawberries and blueberries for lunch and ended up with stomach ache. This is very unusual...

    Mounjaro

    hi @WendyB61 Mounjaro was initially licensed as a treatment for T2D then later it was licensed for non diabetics (as a weight loss treatment) Is your GP/DSN recommending you try it, or are you looking at private prescription ? there’s quite a few people on here that take Mounjaro to help...
