My doctor and I have decided I needed to start medication for my Type 2. My last A1C was 7.8 after being at 6.6 six months earlier. I just had my third injection of Mounjaro, and my fasting blood sugar is routinely less than 110 and I have already lost 5 pounds! We discussed today whether I needed a
I am currently taking 15mg for the added weight loss benefit, but I had excellent control on 2.5. My glucose levels were non-diabetic with my first injection. For reference, my starting a1c was 8.3.
I’m going to drop down in dose at my next doc visit, probably to 5 mg. I can’t stay on 2.5 long term as my insurance will only allow one fill of 2.5 every 6 months.

I had no gi issues but developed tremors that didn’t seem to be from the hypoglycemia (continued after discontinuing and after glucoses corrected).
