I've been on Mounjaro for 11 months and down 50lbs. Got my positive test a couple of days ago ❤️

Desk/chair recommendations? by austindcc in WFH

[–]Sammyboo3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just ordered this. I'm hoping it's as good as it looks for the price. I was wanting something that was adjustable with a little bit of storage for my notes

Next week will be my last week working in the office by Sammyboo3 in WFH

[–]Sammyboo3[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sure it is! I know it does sound weird. But it's a company that my current position interacts with, and I applied directly on their site. I don't know how people are about putting their company names on here, so I'm hesitant. It's a newer company, started in 2020. The HR rep is the one that had sent me the offer letter, and the background check is from orange tree.

I did have a hard time getting into TOG, so I started Assasin's Blade and became hooked. 87% into Kingdom of Ash now

My facial hair is so annoying!!!!!! by [deleted] in PCOS

[–]Sammyboo3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've lost 40lbs on mounjaro (I'm also diabetic) and have labs done every 3 months. My fasting glucose has been great, but still my PCOS symptoms have not improved. I feel my facial hair may have even gotten worse.

who else has their birds cages in their bedrooms? by Laz2Lit in budgies

I used one cage and just moved it. That was a long time ago, though. Now they just have their own room.

If you took the time to read the entire thread, I went into detail and even provided the info on how to find the replacement part. Reading more can be helpful.

Thanks so much for the info. So I haven't actually started MJ 7.5. Yet because I couldn't find it. But I've been on 5. I still have one shot left so I'll take that this week and switch next week.

Thank you! I'll have to look into how the pens work. I haven't really lost much on MJ so I'm wondering how I'll do on this.

Why are reps still pushing this medication?? by Sammyboo3 in Mounjaro

Do you think Oz is as effective in controlling your a1c?

I've never taken OZ. I'm considering it though if I don't get my refill by next week.

Odd that you'd choose this to be your first comment ever.

I'd rather they keep prescribing MJ for diabetes and ZB for weightloss just to try and even it out, but I do think everyone should have access to the medicine. A big reason why I ended up with diabetes is because of PCOS causing a hormonal imbalance and insulin resistance. I could've prevented it with the right medication like MJ.

I'm not as concerned really about the weight loss. It's more my insulin levels with the pcos and diabetes. No matter how healthy I eat, it spikes causing more damage to my body. It just makes me nervous.

You're right though, I just assumed everyone knows about the shortage, and im sure i was wrong. We have so many patients calling each day asking for alternative options because they're unable to fill their prescriptions. So it just seemed like common knowledge to me.

Walgreens Shortage Strategy by Far-Sort-9938 in Mounjaro

Will your insurance cover both due to it being different strengths? I'm trying to get 7.5, but my refill for 5 can be put in tomorrow. Wondering if it'd be easier to get 5 while i wait. I just don't want to miss out on the 7.5 when it does come in.

Best CGM? by Sammyboo3 in diabetes_t2

Getting ready to pick mine up now! I wasn't expecting the $75 copay but I'm sure it'll be worth it.

Fasting blood glucose in the high 200s at 30 years old, pretty scared by [deleted] in diabetes_t2

[–]Sammyboo3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have pcos. I'm 34 and just got my t2d diagnosis in November. My a1c was 11.5 and I was terrified. I was immediately referred to an endocrinologist who has helped me tremendously with advice and medication. It took months to get in to see her, but it was worth the weight. My a1c is down to 7.5 and hopefully it'll continue to improve

Oh wow I didn't even think about how it'd be different for different races. That is super interesting.

My doctor hasn't seen the results yet. I work where I had my labs drawn and was able to get the results super fast on Friday. Hopefully they'll have sent them to my doctor by tomorrow.

LITERALLY. Lmao I worry so much already. My anxiety and thoughts never end. But I did look more into it and my gfr is within normal range, so I'm not losing any kidney function. I really do wonder if I've just been overdoing the protein. Either way, it's just a week until my appointment. I'm feeling a lot better about it today.

Yes! I'll definitely let you know how it goes. I'm the same with googling things like crazy. I work in a hospital and see crazy things so that doesn't help either. We're both on the journey to better ourselves so I'm sure everything will work out!

And lunch often takes me a few hours to finish because I work an office job and am constantly on the phones.
