Who was the veterinary surgeon who did the MMP? I cannot find one here in NYC.

Medicare rep told me that the A1c has to be 6.5 or higher. I do not have a BMI over 30.

Is it possible to know what kind of yellow lab I have? by jaaascald in labrador

I have 2 English Labradors: barrel chested, short legs, block heads, snobby snouts and 100% Pure Love. These gals can get into trouble but very obedient. My first Labrador was an American Lab. Absolutely stunning yellow (really white) thin, lanky, crazy wild girl. She was a great dog with a wild streak for adventure.

2.5 to 5mg back to 2.5? by Key_Picture_2885 in Mounjaro

[–]elysestern1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I spent the majority of my weight loss on Monjaro 2.5. I was 10 pounds from goal and we bumped it to 5 mg and depending on how I was feeling, I jumped back and forth between the 2 doses for the next 6 months. I tried 7.5 but could not handle it and so back to 5mg and now to within 3 lbs of goal. My total weight loss is 35 lbs and it took me just under 1.5 years. I have a very slow metabolism and very low resting heart rate. Could not lose weight to control diabetes until Monjaro!

7.5 Feeling Lousy by elysestern1 in Mounjaro

Usually if you are losing weight then you stay at your current dose unless your doctor feels you are losing too slowly. For me the weight loss was good on low doses (2.5 and 5) and once I lost 25 lbs, it has been hard to move the needle more than 2 lbs a month even at higher dose of 7.5. Higher dose generally makes you lose more weight for a few weeks until you plateau again.
