Sorry for the short post but I've typed a long post twice now and lost it on posting. What dose mounjaro are people on?

What dose of Mounjaro are you on. When I was first shown Mounjaro she said it was brilliant there were so many levels you could go through until you reached a sweet spot. I'm on 7.5mg but she is now saying I can't go to the next dose. I'm getting reduced appetite for a couple of days but then...

I'm having a mare with this. I have received a box dated to expire 5-24. This came with a letter saying all of that batch is now actually 10-24 expire. Secondly I have opened the packet and there are no needles inside. Is this normal. Surely I don't have to buy my own needles?

I was told about neem for diabetes T2 and have just bought some neem oil for the allotment. All the info I have read is about using the leaves which I can't get but can you somehow use the oil instead?

Last time I lost all my weight I was working on: 1500 cals 8% carbs (30g) 21% protein (77g) 71% fat (119g) I lost the weight but lost a lot of muscle tone which I never got back. What are good protein macros for not losing the muscle during weight loss. I am exercising again but have found...

I was on Victoza when it first came out and I had a really horrible experience with it. Vomiting more like faeces than food and terrible eggy smelly burps continually. I've now been offered Ozempic which has side effects of nausea which I am ok with but wondered if I was going to have the same...

I've tried searching for this but nothing came up. Is everybody having their flu vax this year. I'm not sure this time after reading around.

I've been away form the forum for a while and have come back since Covid-19 to get some advice. People are posting on here because they are genuinely frightened about there health and life. You may not agree with that but some of the threads have turned a bit sarcastic with the replies and it...

I don't know if this is of any interest but thought I would write about my experience doing the Rapilose test. I've been thinking of doing this for a while now and have been doing some research on here. Friday is 3 years since I started my new regime to control my diabetes and lose weight so...

I have my Rapilose which I aim to take on Friday. I am doing the full test and am starting to have 150g of carbs a day for the next three days starting tomorrow. I have read that you need to do normal exercise during the 3 days. Does this mean normal as an average or normal for me. I'm a...

I have a home test kit which I use mainly for and around sports now. Is there a specific test I can do at home say fasting for a set amount, testing and then eating a set amount of carbs and testing a time after. Am wanting to test if I am still diabetic. I low carb and have low Hba1c and am...

Am struggling when running over 6 miles. I've just abandoned my half marathon training plan as the longer runs were just awful and it was putting me off running altogether. I am a diet controlled T2 diabetic who does LCHF. I eat 30g of carbs a day and have a very low Hba1c. I have to run...

I wasn't going to post about this but it's still annoying me weeks later. Last time I went to visit the doctor she had read my notes about how I had turned my life around and managed to get off all my meds and am now diet controlled only. She then turned round and congratulated me on me being...

Am feeling rubbish at the mo and my bloods are raised (for me). I don't know if any of this is related but here goes. Some women's issues ahead fellas. I am in the early stages of the early stages of the menopause and only had one period in 10 months and then out of the blue have had 3 real...

I recently lost a lot of weight and have put a little back on which I want to get off again. I am diet controlled and tend to run at round 4 - 5 as normal. I am now trying to retrain myself to stop overeating and am using an app and not eating until I am hungry and my food intake has reduced...

I have over the last 18 months to 2 years lost a lot of weight and started exercising 5 -6 days a week. 3 months ago I took up running as well as continuing the gym to try and reduce body fat which I have. I have recently been testing myself again on and off as some runs are good and some are...

I am diet controlled and have recently taken up running working through the nhs c25k. When I was still trying to lose weight I ran fasted but now I am at goal I have found a banana an hour before and another 30 mins before running makes the run much much enjoyable. I run low and this ends me...

Can anybody help me understand this a little better as am a bit confused. These are the results from my latest Hba1c for cholesterol. Serum cholesterol: 5.7mmol/L Serum HDL cholesterol level: 1.81 mmol/L If my total is 5.7 and the HDL is 1.81 does this mean that the difference is the LDL?

I have started lifting weights in the few months and since then I have been getting really bad carb cravings about once a week. I am diet controlled and tried raising my carbs through the week slightly to help but my weight loss stalled. I am on 30g carbs per day but when the cravings hit it's...

I am getting a tattoo which will be my third but this one is much bigger than the others. I will be in the chair for 2 - 3 hours in total. I am diet controlled with very good control. I have been told to eat a meal before the tattoo but what is a good meal. Should I eat fast acting carbs...
