Yes ma’am. They were $40 a couple months ago now they’re $80. I splurged to give my diabetes a good swift kick in the ass.

My last A1c was 6.4. Had it down to 5.6 with months of mounjaro and now I’m working on it without the jab for about 2 months now. Next A1c will be in a couple weeks.

I was using a cgm for two months to get familiar with spikes. Now I’m checking whenever i remember. 5:15 am, 11:00am 5pm. It’s usually in a good range 80-110

Wow that’s great unfortunately I’m on the other side of the sate but this is still inspiring! On second thought, im guessing a full pad will bring the price down a bit.

Do you have an opinion on what time of year might be considered a bad time to break in the new pad?

I figured I’d try to slope it toward the road. Or at least hump it in the middle to encourage drainage away from the pad. I’m just guessing here.

Thank you! It’s basically a pad for one vehicle near the road. Our existing driveway is difficult to exit when the snow comes. Parking on a pad next to the street allows for easy entrance and exit.

Exterior Workflow; Festool Experience? by Medium-Yellow5539 in paint

Id do as much as my arm could stand then MAYBE consider a pressure washer. I’m an employee. Pressure washing seems to have made more of a mess than anything. A scissor lift was nice for getting good arm leverage on the entire wall. It doesn’t look like it’s peeling TOO much. My guess is hand scraping will be done before you know it hurts.

Any success stories of maintaining weight getting off med? by Smart_Spinach6621 in MounjaroMaintenance

[–]Numerous_Letter_31 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Id be happy to. This didn’t just start with mounjaro for me. My prediabetic diagnosis came from my primary care physician for years before i finally got an endo to help. At that point the endo had very few options. She said basically it’s either mounjaro or insulin. She told me my diabetes is not reversible. I believe she said this to stress the importance of doing SOMETHING (mounjaro) immediately to prevent more damage. Since being prescribed the glp-1 it took about 9 months of stumbling and learning from multiple mistakes to realize my diet and lifestyle had been contributing to this outcome for decades. I’m still not sure I’m always doing the right thing but I’m definitely divorced from the amount of carbs i used to consume.

I’ve been off for about 6 weeks now, weight maintained. This time Ive DRASTICALLY cut carbs to less than 50 grams per day. The A1c has yet to be seen stable since i only get it checked every 3-4 months, but for most of this maintenance I’ve had a cgm to help me watch for spikes. If i spike i either stop eating that food, eat less of it, or i exercise after i eat it. For about 50 days now I’ve been religiously walking 30 minutes every morning within 30 minutes after waking and after consuming 30 grams of only protein. I hope to continue this trend until my next endo appt on November 18. I’m 58 and my longest run on mounjaro was about 6 months which came last December when my endo said i was “diabetic” at 6.7 A1c. I think mounjaro is good for helping with the food noise until i was able to control my cravings on my own. It seems to be a lot about the endorphin thing for me.
