My diabetes is reasonably well managed with metformin and insulin injections but as I’m increasing my exercise and taking a more responsible attitude to my diet, potentially losing weight of 12 to 15KG, I contacted my diabetic nurse. It’s likely that I can reduce the number of units of insulin. I didn’t ask but she offered me Mounjaro on the NHS but I’m not sure I need that. I’m slightly nervous about taking it and also coming off it again when the NHS feel I’ve reached the target. I understand that most side affects are manageable other than pancreatitis. Thinking of Slimming World for diet. Not sure which way to jump with this. My BMI is 31. And thoughts welcome.
