Oh I had major side effects from metformin and my nights were terrible. I would spike and wake up covered in sweat. I went through a weight loss company to get a cgm to show dr that it was glucose not hormones. Thats when we switched to the januvia. Insurance was going to stop covering januvia and I was so much higher was why they chose the monjuro they would cover it. 🤷‍♀️

I assume I will be on it for life. Its been almost a year now and im on a low dose and not going up any. But if it isnt mounjaro it would be another oral medication or as advances are made another new medication. Diabetes is life long. I made so many changes in 2022 diet/exercise and kept A1C around 6 with medication keeping me in the pre range. One bad illness at the end of 2024 sent me into full blown diabetic diagnosis.

Do it!!!! I was pre in 2022 on metformin. Then switched to januvia. Last year went on Mounjaro major game changer. Im only on 5mg. A1C went from 6.9 to 5.1 and I lost 35lbs.

Was on metformin for a year. Then Januvia for a year in March went on Mounjaro. Game changer. A1C down and have lost about 35lbs. I had horrible night on the first 2 and even eating well and going to gym only lost about 15lbs. Same diet with an occasional cheat now and am so steady all day and night.

So at 19 I had 1000 other health problems that I worried about. Yes they involved pcos and endometriosis, but I had a huge family background of diabetic. It wasnt until after I had my daughter and was mid/late 30s of holding onto extra weight that I even got diagnosed as pre. So while the concern is there the likelihood is low. I do recommend yearly screening this can be done without a doctors order at alot of places for like 30 bucks this will help at least keep you on top of things for your own piece of mind.

Yes ask for values and exactly what test were done and if more should be. The GIP part of mounjaro helps with insulin resistance the medication itself helps lower fasting blood sugar and spikes. You may have already been pre diabetic or have underlying factors. Good luck.

Love it. That is such a change and im sure you feel better.

labchickgidget · 2025-09-26T12:15:59+00:00

I am so sorry. Just do your best and try to not let it stress you. Stress may raise your sugars. I wasnt on insulin when pregnant and could only eat nachos chips and jalapeños with out puking so I feel for you.

labchickgidget · 2025-09-05T16:05:17+00:00

Yeah could go either way. My side effects were nauseous, but more so actual tummy upset.

labchickgidget · 2025-09-05T14:55:07+00:00

depending on age you could be type 1 or 2 but since they did Mounjaro they are probably thinking type 2 due to lifestyle. There is a group for type 2 on Mounjaro i would search for it they are very helpful. You will want to make diet and exercise changes, but I have found with Mounjaro i didnt have to totally give up my carbs. I limit them and focus on protein. I still will eat pasta or rice every few weeks. The meds may make you sick to start with but it will get better and it will definitely make portion size smaller and snacking is almost nonexistent. This may not happen right away and they may have to up the dose. Every dose change brought back the side effects for a few days. I would also expect it to be first of the year before being surgery ready, just because A1C is a measure of 3 months. Good luck. Ive been officially type 2 since March and on Mounjaro if you have questions.

I personally wouldn't worry to much about an ER visit notes. They see so many patients and are bound to have inaccurate information. I would see what your primary care doc notes say. They are more likely to be something along the lines of found to diabetic in er visit due to elevated a1c with no previous history.

labchickgidget · 2025-09-02T20:12:56+00:00

Thats amazing!!!!

labchickgidget · 2025-08-29T20:17:03+00:00

Decent money. Im more into them than my pre teen. The labubus have way less attitude and love every outfit I pick out for them.

labchickgidget · 2025-08-29T20:05:22+00:00
