    The way it does this is mainly through you reducing your food intake though

    Monsanto/glicazide/Metformin

    I am eating less calories but I think you will find that the Mounjaro injection is supposed to help you loose weight as well as control your diabetes, a friend of mine has only been on the same injection for three months and has lost two stone, the only thing different in our medication is...

    Mounjaro/Metformin/Glicazide

    I have been taking Mounjaro since November, but it is very slow going, as glicazide increases appetite and can cause weight gain I was wondering if they are cancelling each other out.

    Mounjaro/Metformin/Glicazide

    Hi @Pauline on seeing your post thought I would ask you how long have you been taking Mounjaro, also what kind of foods are you eating

    Monsanto/glicazide/Metformin

    Sorry miss typed should have said I am taking Mounjaro, Metformin and Glicazide. The Mounjaro injection is supposed to dampen appetite so that you loose weight, but one of the side effects of Glicazide is increased appetite and weight gain, so I think they even each other out that’s why I am not...

    Mounjaro Monday - week 20 update.

    ...the most I have ever lost in any weight loss effort. I still can’t believe I have stuck to this for so long! No quitting, no looking back. Mounjaro symptoms wise - absolutely nothing to report. Things are going smoothly enough - I do get quite hungry now, but I’m disciplined enough to know...

    Been on Mounjaro for 6 mths but very little if any weight loss and stomach bloated.

    Hi, what am I doing wrong ? My appetite has gone and not eating anywhere near what i was but no weight loss. Now on 7.5 dose.

    Making Mounjaro Work For You (+ milestone reached).

    ...lost. Really pleased with that and excited that the 5 stone marker is in sight. I’ve been thinking about writing a few words on making Mounjaro (or any WL injectable) work for you. Now seems like a good time. This is obviously not medical advice, but just what I’ve found from my own...

    Mounjaro Monday - week 19 update

    ...this exercise is now leaving me feeling refreshed and energised rather than worn out. It’s taken a while to get here, but it’s great. Mounjaro symptoms have amounted to nothing. Very little to write about here this week. I am thinking of putting a few words together about making Mounjaro...

    Group 7-day waking average?

    ...(if indeed it does stop permanently) however I will still need to be more sensible with my food choices. I’m on quite a strong dose of Mounjaro (still not the maximum dose of that) TBH I might speak to GP next month about dropping the down dose of this just slightly as for me now there seems...

    Group 7-day waking average?

    ...now I’m down to 80 KG (this time last year was 103) that was when I enrolled on a fitness and healthy eating program plus started on Mounjaro, going further back a few years ago was 120JG - I’m a far healthier @goodybags than back then following recent negotiations with my employer (of the...

    Considering Mounjaro......

    ...have success with the Path to Remission programme - sounds like you didn’t have much support with it? :( Discussing a new med like with Mounjaro with your GP sounds like a very good option. Shame it’s so difficult to get an appointment! Could you try to have a chat with the qualified...

    Considering Mounjaro......

    Welcome to the forum. You could try a different tack and see if a low carb approach suits you, many find it reduces blood glucose and helps with weight loss. It is reducing carbs to no more than 130g carbs per day with real food and as such it can become a new normal way of eating. Have a look...

    Considering Mounjaro......

    ...Sarcoidosis/COPD so I cannot exercise easily, I walk the dog and that's my limit. I have an underactive thyroid which is medicated. I think Mounjaro might be for me, perhaps? I think about food from when I wake to when I sleep! I would guess I have perhaps 10-15 kilos to lose. My sugar levels...

    Mounjaro availability, lack of

    ...@John Gray personally I’ve not experienced a supply problem myself (yet) through my pharmacy, however this time last year (before I was on Mounjaro) I was taking Trulicity however after I had been on it for a few months, that became unavailable, then in June last year Mounjaro was suggested...

    Any Type 1s had experience with Mounjaro/GLP-1 medications

    Welcome to the forum. People are very cautious about naming individuals in the NHS as this is a public forum and it would be against GDPR policy for that to happen. People may mention which Health Authority their care is from but not individuals by name.

    Any Type 1s had experience with Mounjaro/GLP-1 medications

    ...would it be possible for you to let me know the name of the Nurse Practitioner you use? I’m T1 and my diabetic consultant has recommended Mounjaro to me and has said she will support me taking it but can’t prescribe it to me. I can’t find a pharmacist who is willing to even discuss the...

    Mounjaro availability, lack of

    Yes, as expected, the shortage of GLP-1 related medicines is happening again. My friendly local Tesco pharmacy assistant tells me that Mounjaro is under heavy demand by private patients, and Tesco is currently unable to source it from their suppliers. It is suggested that those persons with...
