Not much really
A month ago I raised my Mounjaro dose to 7.5mg. I had also been taking Metformin 500mg once a day and Jardiance 10mg once a day. I have been using a Freestyle Lybra monitor to keep an eye on my BG and I've notice it is starting to go low. At first it was just through the night but these last two days it's gone low during daytime.

I have an appointment with my Diabetes nurse on Monday and obviously this will be discussed with her. I was just wondering if others have had similar experiences? My latest HbA1c came back at 46mmol/mol so the Mounjaro is helping massively with that.

Any thoughts?
 
My experience with Mounjaro (currently 10mg/wk) is very large reduction in insulin needs.

Even a single unit of fast acting can give noticeable effect.

CGM is needed to carefully monitor to avoid Hypos.
Also ensure you drink plenty of water ;)

Interesting that the ADA (American Diabetes Association) is now including Mounjaro in their recommendation for T1 as well as T2.
