Hi Everyone,
New member!
After months of badgering the hospital, GP and diabetic nurse they have finally relented and agreed it’s ok for me to go on Mounjaro albeit privately. Whilst this is less than ideal, I think the benefits far outway the cost
I’m interested in anyone who has been on this journey and how it affected you especially with background insulin and carb ratios. I’m thinking I might just cut the background and bolus insulin amounts by 50% but was hoping for some perspective rather than just guessing. Whilst I know everyone is different, I’d be really interested in any thoughts
By way of background, I’ve been a T1 diabetic for 39 years and am well controlled with my last HBA1C of 44. My current BMI is 38 which I think is a factor of insulin resistance, due to weight and pangs of hunger do to insulin volumes. I’m currently on Triseba and Fiasp if that makes any difference
My ideal is to go on the omnipod but being well controlled alongside my insulin doses, this isn’t an option
Appreciate your thoughts
