    I’m Type 1 so don’t know a lot about Mounjaro, but you’d have to explain how that affected you. You can’t just choose shifts due to diabetes, you have to have specific reasons.it’s the same with reasonable adjustments. You have to explain why it’s needed. As an example, years ago I worked in a...

    Okay so it probably isnt that you need breaks to take medication or manage hypos, since mounjaro is taken once per week and doesn’t typically cause hypos. Could you explain what practical steps you do to manage your diabetes better on early shifts, and what the other shifts do to your blood...

    Weight loss injections - any advice before I start

    I have stopped Lantus insulin as was piling the weight on and not helping my levels. Mounjaro on week 5 now and my blood sugars are 5.2 on waking much better than on insulin. Yes dropping some weight 1lb a week but mainly for blood sugars. Worth having a chat with DSN team

    Weight loss injections - any advice before I start

    Yes, as others have said, Mounjaro is not licensed for type 1 diabetics yet. I did start it and took it for a few weeks but have since stopped as it did absolutely nothing to reduce my food cravings at all and it made me feel like I was 102 years old!! Nothing specific to put my finger on with...

    MODY and mounjaro

    As a diabetes treatment Mounjaro has only been tested for type 2 I believe not for MODY. For weight related treatments you normally need a certain bmi and a bmi related complication. High bmi can cause type 2 diabetes but MODY is genetic not usually due to weight...

    Mounjaro/Metformin/Glicazide

    Also on Mounjaro, I found I plateaued after a few months on 5mg, so asked to move onto 7.5mg, that said my weight loss is still slow compared to some others, I have lost 1st 9lbs since earlier October, and now average 2lbs per month. I would suggest speaking to your nurse about upping the dose...

    Mounjaro/Metformin/Glicazide

    Hi, I am on 5mg of Mounjaro, eating a mixed diet my HB1C has come down from 80 to 50, so it’s is working, but have stalled with weight loss, from November slowly lost about 1stone but recently plateaued. I have been thinking the Glicazide may be the problem.
