A company that sells at least one drug that causes diabetes invents a diabetic medication. Now that’s something to think about.

A highly doubt that it will be better than Ozempic.
But I could be wrong

Yeah I contacted my mail order pharmacy and they don’t have it yet.
Probably will take a couple of weeks.

I don’t want to put you off, but I just saw this at the end of the article

It also causes thyroid tumors in rats, although the FDA said it is unknown if a similar risk would be seen in people.

So does Ozempic but I think it’s a rare side effect

I contacted Eli Lilly and they said that in trials the weigh loss was better than Ozempic.
Patients could lose up to 25 pounds!

Hopefully my insurance plan will cover it.
It’s probably going to be very expensive

My bariatric doctor approved for me to take Mounjaro!
I start taking it tomorrow!

It’s supposed to be a new blockbuster drug!

Ozempic was no longer working for me.

Hopefully I’ll lose weight with Mounjaro

It’s been a couple of months on Mounjaro and my blood sugar levels are doing great, really working well in that arena but as far as weigh loss is concerned, not really losing weight on a steady basis, but I’m at the lowest dose, 2.5mg.
Weight loss really starts happening at higher doses.
Going to stick with it.
Really effective diabetes drug though
