I had my first 5 mg dose of Mounjaro earlier and was wondering if there's anything I should look out for with the higher dose. I did ok on the 2.5 mg dose. My blood sugar dropped by about 3 mmol/l, and I lost almost half a stone in weight.

So I was wondering if there are any traps going to the higher dose.

Thanks.

I definitely noticed a change in Ac1 on higher levels of MJ; my HbA1c came down from 80 to 41. I think the suppression got a little better and I lost weight more regularly but I am a nice steady loser (34lbs over 26 weeks). I can't say I have noticed any dramatic changes each time I have moved up a dose and I am on 10mg now.

Good luck! :D
