Anyone using Wegovy?

My diabetes Nurse rang me yesterday.
My HbA1c has come down from 74 to 62.
My daily bloods are in tolerance on the high side 7 to 8.
I've lost no weight but ive gone down at least a size in body shape.
She is putting me on 10mg from 7.5mg.

I can't comment on your diet but if you're in Fuerte Ventura, rent a car from the hotel and drive to the most remote beach in the world, aka. Playa De Cofete. it's a fantastic day out and as far as I'm concerned one of the few redeeming features of the island.

We're in Caleta de Fuste and it's great.
We found a bar that has a live band on every night so very happy.

You have no idea how much, 17 years I've been all over the place blood wise.
 
Update from me. As i said earlier i was on Ozempic for a over a year and a half for diabetes. I lost 2.5 stone. For about a year i stopped losing weight and actually put back a stone. So i asked the gp to move to Mounjaro as losing the weight helped my blood sugar and blood pressure. These started to rise again. So now after 4 weeks on 2.5mg Mounjaro i actually put on a kilo. This thursday i start on the 5mg. Lets see if i start losing weight again. No side effects at all so far. So i'm wondering how the 2.5 dose Of Mounjaro compares to the 1mg dose of Ozempic i was on? Is the 2.5mg mounjaro a lower dose than 1mg Ozempic?

Yes, it would be comparable to the 0.25mg starting dose of Ozempic.

I'm still gonna recommend it. The car hire cost us something like £50 for a day, they drop it off at the hotel and collect it the next day, no deposit either. Couldn't be easier. The drive to Playa Cofete is insured on most cars, but not all, so be sure to check. It's a drive straight off of Top Gear, hands down one of the best drives of my life.

Do it, it's worth it. Trust me :cool:


EDIT: Here, have a look:


(I'll shut up now before I derail this thread :p)

Don't forget from a research perspective generally any real changes weren't seen until the higher doses, they are simply to slowly get your body used to the drug and stop you quitting a week in because you've crapped yourself/want to rip your insides out/can't poo for the life of you.
 
Everyone is different

I'm down 11KG after 6 weeks (4 weeks 2.5mg, 2 weeks 5mg Mounjaro) from a starting point of 136KG

I'm averaging ~1800 calories a day and aiming to walk at least 5K. It's very much "turned off" my desire for crap food and booze

So half way into a week on 0.5 ozempic. Some of my normal foods are no longer happy with me. Ramen and even soup. Got the proper tummy rumble like a film when they show the person is about to explode and then had to run to the bathroom :eek:. Not fun at all.Hopefully this settles down. Dietician is worried about my lack of absorption with my Gastric bypass so to take Hydrolysed whey protein and possibly even looking at meal replacement shakes.
