Hello, Looking for some advice about starting Mounjaro and what if any diet to follow. Briefly lm in last chance saloon. H1bc last week 115 at my diabetes clinic. Avg blood sugars 18-22. I’ve totally shut down on meds and consultant says it would be a good idea to starting on Mounjaro. However never mentioned what food to eat or not. Lm going to phone my DN on Monday but wondered if any of you have advice or experience with. Mounjaro and diabetes and diet. I’ve seen a lot on internet about high protein intake but don’t know much about this.

are you going to be prescribed Mounjaro or are you looking on private prescription or self funding,
 
Prescribe by my Diabetes consultant
Why I asked is I had when I first been on a similar (not the same medication) a few years ago I was referred to a dietitian to ensure I was eating a healthy & balanced die
which is especially important as you can expect to be eating slightly less once your taking MJ, that could be if you wanted a good idea to ask about maybe

There’s a few of us that have posted on here we take Mounjaro with some great results so hopefully it works for you, I don’t think I’ve really changed what I eat since I started taking Mounjaro back last summer, I just eat less (smaller portions) but still try to keep a healthy diet and upped exercise levels

do you have much weight to loose and how high was your last Hba1c?

With those numbers you have had no advice on diet.

It is not often I am dumbfounded - ask anyone on the forum.

Look up low carb diet.

What other medications and dietary approaches have you already tried and are you still taking any of them as that may impact on what would be a suitable diet.
High protein and healthy fats is likely mentioned in the context of also following a low carbohydrate regime.
 
Hope you find Mounjaro works well for yoy @PatosDa :care:
