During the last year I’ve avoided seeing the DN inspite of them trying to contact me. My toes have been showing signs of neuropathy. They eventually withheld my medication until I made an appointment to see them. The results of the blood test showed my HbA1c to be at 95 which I believe is between 10 & 11. Not good. I’ve always resisted insulin as it would mean notifying the DVLA and being temporarily suspended from driving, which is how I earn my living. Not surprisingly I was offered it again on December 5th but asked what the alternatives were. I was offered Mounjaro to be injected once a week and was told it would help control BG’s and I would also lose weight by suppressing my appetite. The side effects could range from nausea, vomiting, bodyaches and several others. So, since I’ve been injecting ( just taken my 3rd dose) I can’t really say it’s had any effect on me. I’ve had none of the side effects mentioned above and I could eat a horse at any given moment. What it has done though is changed my way of thinking and as a result I’ve drastically cut down on carbs, cut out all the junk food I so dearly love, which in turn has helped the throbbing in my toes. And brought my blood readings under control.I test my blood every other hour, I look at what foods spike me and avoid and as a result have lost a bit of weight, not much but about 7lbs. From what I’ve managed to read online the 5mg dose is obviously more potent and I will probably notice it more once I take it in 2 Saturday’s time. But willpower is stronger than any drug if you can stay motivated. Keeping all my fingers and toes is my motivation.</p></blockquote><p></p>
