For those nervous to do the injection!!! Switched from Ozempic yesterday. Took my first Mounjaro injection last night. It was painless!!! It took me 45 minutes to build up the nerve to do it because the need is already attached and primed in the chamber. I was afraid it was going to jab me or do it too hard. NO!!! It clicks once to let you know the needle is inserted and clicks when the injection is done. I didn’t feel anything. The needle is very fine and the injection is gentle. The clicks and seeing the plunger move in the chamber is how I knew I received the medication. I also squeeze my fat so hard that the squeeze hurts more than anything else. Lol. I fast also to help build metabolism and promote weight loss. I just took a FEW BITES of my chicken salad, a few cherry tomatoes and I had to struggle to finish my V8 juice. I normally would eat a majority of the container and all of my cherry tomatoes. I was FULL. I didn’t want to eat anymore. 😮

Can I ask why you switched from Ozempic and how the Mounjaro is so far? I tried Ozempic a few months ago but stopped after 3 weeks due to low blood sugars. I’m starting again this week and stopping both my oral meds for blood sugar. Hoping that will help and keep my sugars from dropping too low. I asked my Dr today about Mounjaro instead and she said she isn’t prescribing it yet.

I do not have the same relationship with food I used to have. I can leave stuff on my plate now. I do sometimes need an anti-nausea pill, but not always. I probably eat once a day (with a light snack in place of dinner sometimes), take a multivitamin, and drink plenty of water. The occasional nausea is worth it.

I got sick back in March where I didn't eat for a week. In April I saw my doctor about getting back on phentermine (Adipex). Since then my wife and I have lost almost 100 lbs. between the both of us. Well I am on a two week break of phentermine because my blood pressure spiked but my doctor prescribed me Mournjaro. Its on order so hopefully I can pick it up tomorrow. Unlike these drugs, diet and exercise are key to making these things work. Cut out as much junk food as possible. Cut down on carbs. The most important thing to do is cut out pop (or soda for those who call it that). Sugary drinks will definitely packed the pounds.

If you A1C drops to a low point. Than are you still in need of Insulin, or can that be adjusted by your doctor ? And would you still (technically) still be a diabetic ? Starting Ozempic on 09/23/2022 ..oh yippee !!
@diabetesdietguy Жыл бұрын
Hi Jeff I think I understand what you mean. If you’re A1c has dropped whilst on insulin below target levels and the only thing that has changed is your weight e.g. same insulin dose but lower A1c. Then the risk is hypos if on insulin. So step 1 is to reduce the insulin. Then you keep lowering the insulin and see how that effects blood glucose levels day to day. If the reduction causes high glucose levels or an increased A1c then you need insulin. If you continue to hypo or have low A1cs (likely hypo range) you repeat the process. However, if your A1c is in target range with insulin then you probably can’t stop insulin at that point But the point is - yes if you lose weight - insulin doses often come down and some people are able to stop depending on the individual 👍

Hey Kelli Yes it’s a medication for type 2 diabetes. This class of meds may be licensed in the future for purely weight loss. One of them is already but the rest are not. But usually when one is licensed the others follow eventually. However, yes, at the moment, it requires prescription

@diabetesdietguy Жыл бұрын
Not sure where you’re based April It’s available in the US but not in the UK as yet To my knowledge in the UK it will initially only be licensed if you have type 2 diabetes but that will likely change down the line as further licenses are granted But ultimately it comes from a doctors prescription.

If the medicine make you not eat, vomit, and nauseated, then you are pretty much starving yourself. Why are most doctors against ppl doing the One Meal A Day fast when this med doesn’t even allow people to really eat. Maybe I am confuse but I thought if you eat under 1200 calories you are in starvation mode and will slow down your metabolism( according to some drs.) So is it different because the medicine causes slow digestion? I have a GLP-1 Ozempic but is reluctant to administer it because I see the needle. I thought it was like my diabetes lancet where the needle is not seen and you just press the button.
@diabetesdietguy Жыл бұрын
Hi Trina No this isn’t a starvation diet. Nor is 1200kcal starvation but it’s a low energy intake. If you’re vomiting you should stop the meds. Most people do not get the severe side effects you describe. I think the main difference is when someone follows a lower kcal diet without a GLP-1 they are fighting hunger and essentially the drive to eat. So it rarely is sustainable long term. What this does is remove the biological driver to eat too much. Which is a good option for some people and makes it more sustained. The diet you eat should still be nutrient rich. But my preferred option as a dietitian is to always eat healthy and exercise regularly without the need for meds But for a multitude of reasons, lots of people can’t follow that route. In which case, helping them lose weight and for the most part - simultaneously treat their diabetes - is better than not doing it. A few diabetes meds like insulin or sulphonylureas treat glucose levels but make you put on weight with no other additional benefits. So long term the diabetes will likely actually get worse metabolically Whereas meds like GLP-1 and SGLT-2 inhibitor’s help you lose weight - so treat the underlying cause of the diabetes so it gets better and have additional benefits like CVD and renal protection. So if you’re choosing a med, these are probably a better option longer term than other options. So I can see why they are widely used.

So was just asking what your source as this isn’t a commonly association with these meds There are some contraindications - one if you have already developed a specific type of cancer but there’s no evidence I or my colleagues have ever mentioned, or the reps who represent them, or the medial literature I’ve encountered that have mentioned an increased risk in cancer rates.

@@maggienjoshreynolds6592 yep Maggie and that’s all in the contraindications publicly listed and considered by your medical team. Like you shouldn’t take these if you have a history of pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer either Ozempic shouldn’t be started in people with active retinopathy. That’s different from causing cancer of causing eye disease. And this is why we have medical histories, records and consultations to decide the most appropriate medications based on your individual circumstances. Same with oral diabetes therapies. They won’t be started if your kidney function is impaired to a certain level or you have certain histories. So what you describe is accurate but different from causing disease.

Well Eli Lilly is the drug maker of this particular drug. I live about 20 minutes away from Eli Lily's headquarters here in Indianapolis Indiana. In the US I'm going to have to call them and see if I can get any discount. I know about all the other drugs to everyone. Has put in alpha diabetes and weight loss. I should have known that they had something out too. They even have something out now for alopecia. But for some reason their drugs are so high. Too high for even then Sean's to even pay for it. What is one of these drugs that you can't.Mounjaro. get a coupon code for and it is if you go on their website and . A few questions they will give you a coupon for $25 to buy this. All drugs should be cheap saying that our government really helps them out. 😔
