Quick update since I have been on the 5ml dose for a few weeks now. My fasting sugar is down to the mid 160s so making some progress there. Unfortunately I am only 13 lbs down over almost 2 months which I feel like is slow. I am feeling more normal now but the appetite suppression seems to...

I started on Mounjaro 4 weeks ago on the 2.5ml dose. I'm down 8 lbs since I started. Hoping for faster results when I start the 5ml dose next week.

I have tried the over the counter toenail fungus treatments but didn't have much success. Was hoping there was something I could try at home vs. having to go to a specialist $$$$. :confused:

Hey folks, one thing I have been struggling with and am self conscious about are my toenails. Over the past 5 years they have gotten very thick and yellowed. Anyone have this side effect and have any tips for making these less obvious? I am hesitant to just start filing them more than a little...

Ok folks time for an update. I am slowly getting more used to the drug a little less nausea and feeling kinda "ick" with it and I feel like I can eat a bit more (maybe not a good thing). My fasting sugar was 171 this morning down from 185-190 before starting and I'm down 7 lbs so that's...

I took my first shot Monday and I didn't notice anything much until Tuesday. I definitely feel a bit nauseous and seem to feel full really quick. Like where I can't eat but maybe half of what I could before (and still be hungry). The shot itself was a bit painful but I read to let it warm up...

I just got approved to have Mounjaro covered by my insurance and can't wait to get started. I have been T2 for about 7 years started with an A1c near 10.5 but can't seem to get it below 8.3 with Metformin. Past few years I also have the tingly feet so I am excited to hopefully help with that...

Hello folks I know it's been awhile so I figured I check back in with an update. I have been in a bit of a slump with my mom having some health issues from her diabetes and having to help her out. Its been stressful and I have not done super well with working on my A1c which has been...

Oh wow I'm so jealous. I might have to start saving up if my insurance won't cover. Glad to hear it actually works!

Thanks for all the responses everyone. I have really been struggling with my weight and eating "right" my entire life. I have a few health issues aside from diabetes that have gotten worse so I need something to tip me in the right direction. Fingers crossed my insurance will cover it and I...

Latest reading this morning was a disappointing 10.4. I have been slacking off on the exercise with the cold weather here but hoping to get the motivation to get back on track.

Hey folks still struggling a bit here with a 10.1 this morning. Could be worse but wish it was better :confused: I have been trying to keep up with at least 5000 steps a day but I have slacked off a bit since my legs are extra swollen from the cold weather.

Well amazingly I was down to 171 (9.5) despite not eating the healthiest the past week. I have been doing everything I can to get 5000 steps in a day so maybe that and the water aerobics is helping. Now if only the number on the scale would start to drop. :rolleyes: Either way I'm happy with...

OMG I hate those things. I have skin tags on my neck and they are SOOO annoying. I thought they were hereditary but I guess maybe tied to diabetes from what I am reading here. I also have the dark skin patches around my neck and armpits but I already knew that was tied to diabetes.

Yes my doc has been on me to get more excercise and lose weight. Guess I have something to try now! Sadly I have some bad habits that are hard to break. :-(
