Hi I have been on mounjaro a month, lost 6 pounds first week now regained 4 over last 2 weeks! It’s as if my body got used to it. Asked about going up a dose but nurse said body has to get used to it so prescribed me 2.5 again! I just wondered how long they made others wait before going up a...

My nurse told me they only keep you on it until sugars are stable then you do it all yourself! As if we can make our brains change like mounjaro lol! I dont understand this as surely to save money for nhs it would make more financial sense to put back on it if gaining again ? Would you pay...

Yes on my third but mine was in fridge Iv been told to keep it out now

I have just finished my first month on lowest dose , I lost six pounds but fluctuating went up to four pounds. I think I stuffed jab up last week as it was too cold so couldn’t inject properly Cravings were there badly for sugar on jab and an obsession with corn flakes too which is do odd lol...

I have knocked my second toe nail off it’s hanging on at the corner. It’s bled quite a lot. It’s not gushing but still trickling a bit. I can’t cover it as the nail sticks into the wound and I can’t put any antiseptic on it as it’s still bleeding a bit Anyone recommend best course of action...

Yes and I feel a stigma too, sometimes if you tell people they start with the unwanted diet advice! Drives me mad! Here if you ever want to vent :)

[emoji112] hello, I am on a lot of meds similar to most of you i imagine. I recently got new meds , and a lot of online medical interaction checkers dont recognise some and when you have around 5 meds take already how on Earth can I check? Chemists seem reluctant to check too. Just wondering if...

Thank you for your reply , I am having my HBA1C retested in 3 months so fingers crossed. I think I will book a doc appointment and discuss this further whether morning reads are reliable enough or not Thanks

@lovinglife - I test in a morning daily. I was very lacking in energy struggling to walk up hills etc before Jardiance. That was main symptom just feeling ropey. I found previously giving up sweet stuff better as I can’t stop but on this I’m finding sweet treats but still sensible like low...

PS the alternative would have been insulin [emoji22]

@Pipp thank you for your reply. My HBA1C went up to over 100 despite me loosing 3 stone in weight. I tried everything naturally nothing worked. Personal trainers, I gave up fruit completely. Thrush is an issue but was before anyway and doc is giving treatments for that. Having a fruit smoothie...

Hi I am taking Jardiance and finally getting readings around 7 , sometimes slightly higher but not much. Iv realised if I have fewer carbs I can enjoy an odd ice cream or sweet thing. Even fruit and my readings are still low in the mornings Is this ok though do you think?Feels wrong but I guess...

Morning, well I never , finally a reading of 7.5! Since I only started testing when my HbA1c was over 100 , Iv never got down to this in a morning. Started Jardiance and finally , after a year of trying to do it myself. Happy me ,wishing you all a lovely Sunday :)

Thank you for your reply and help, I hope so the headaches are awful [emoji20]

Hi feeling a little down today, I finally got to 7 the other day (blood read) and I had a fake hypo , ate sensible lunch no sugar as understood why. Then had the worst headache /migraine for 7 hours! I’m drinking loads of water. I often get them with fake hypos as a warning sign I just don’t...

9 and half but this is good comparison to what I was new meds. If you are below 7 don’t you panic? What’s lowest before you get concerned pls?

Hello Iv been high so long I don’t know what number I’m actually aiming for! Is it 7? [emoji120] thank you

Hi I am now taking Jardiance and amazed how quickly it’s lower my sugars. I was having a morning read of 15 after just 3 days it’s 9 My question is how do I avoid going too low as this had been very quick?

Thanks I thought it would’ve too but it says on packet don’t drive if it makes you drowsy. Hope il be ok on them thanks again
