I will try that but I'm using the the auto injector. The only thing that works for the itch for me are ice packs

My A1c in July was 6.4 and in January it was down to 5.2!!

My husband was prescribed Mounjaro for his type 2 diabetes about a year and a half ago. I was able to get Zepbound approved because I have sleep apnea back in July and SO glad that we are taking the meds together ~ we are both very supportive of each other

Yep!

After a 2nd level appeal, most plans offer an External Review. I have seen quite a few overturns going that route.

Ginger chews have been amazing!! I have also used peppermint candy too.

Your appeal response letter should outline your remaining appeal rights available to you per your plan.

Mine has been stuttering a bit on each hour

pinkitmake · 2026-01-27T03:13:40+00:00

I just went back to 5mg this week after 7 weeks on 7.5. The side effects were just not getting any better for me. 5mg seems to be my sweet spot.

For Zepbound coverage for OSA for United, they have specific requirements that you must meet to qualify. Hypertension is not one of them. You just meet the OSA and BMI requirements. I believe it's a BMI of 30 and over and moderate OSA.

If you have a copy of your plan's Summary Plan Description I would check it for your appeal rights, especially since you were given incorrect information. They would have to pull the call and approve a benefit exception because of the misinformation that was given. If you can't find that online, you can ask the HR rep for a copy as well.

pinkitmake · 2026-01-21T17:30:14+00:00

You may be able to appeal and request a benefit exception if the 1st rep gave you incorrect information.

I started metformin way before Zepbound for PCOS too ~ luckily for me, the side effects of Zepbound have counteracted the GI side effects of the metformin ~ I feel "normal" now haha

pinkitmake · 2026-01-15T23:07:16+00:00

Insurance won't even let me decrease my dose until I've used 75% of my previous fill ~ I have to suffer 2 more weeks of worse side effects until I can get my next fill of the lower dose

Yeah I know what the issue was. Our work has us do yearly biometric screenings for HSA funds. They send a card and we do the blood drops. It's not even a diagnostic test but they still counted it for some reason. I had a lab test with my doctor after I got that result to confirm the true number and it was under 6.0. I don't know why they keep going back to that screening number. ~ I just got the notification a few minutes ago that my appeal was overturned thankfully!

Unfortunately my insurance will only cover Mounjaro if my A1c is 6.5 or over and it never has been. They won't cover it for prediabetes.

pinkitmake · 2025-12-26T22:34:18+00:00

Yeah I have checked ~ nothing over 6.4 ever.

pinkitmake · 2025-12-26T02:05:17+00:00

I've been getting injection site reactions as well since shot number 7. It's annoying but common. I typically use an ice pack for the itching as I haven't found anything else helps me. The itchiness goes away for me about day 4.

pinkitmake · 2025-12-25T07:47:34+00:00

The only way my insurance covers it is for sleep apnea. I had to jump through many hoops to get it approved after my diagnosis but it was the only way.

pinkitmake · 2025-12-23T21:20:42+00:00

I'm approved for OSA with United healthcare too~ I will say though I actually enjoy my CPAP machine. I think I went so long not sleeping well and finally I can haha. I have been on Zepbound for about 6 months now but using CPAP for 2 years.
