Don’t ever apologize for making a long video . I would rather get all the information than cut it short. Those who think it is long they can always turn it off. Thank you for your time and info. Keep the good work on helping us with diabetes!
So it's fine that I take my Mounjaro in the mornings thanks. I was hospitalized back in October diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. At the time of being hospitalized my blood sugar was almost 500. As of today my blood sugar has been consistently in the 85 to 110 range for the past 4 months. I just want to share with other visitors the only changes I have made to my diet. I know it might not work for everyone but some people may benefit from my changes. The first change I did was stopped drinking Soda. My drinks of choice now are 1 cup of Chocolate Milk a day and Gatorade Zero the rest of the day. The second thing I did was stop eating TV dinners. My third change was I started walking on a treadmill twice a day (started out at 30 minutes each session then progressed to 1 hour each session). The final change I made was to stop stressing out over stuff I can't control. My A1c started out over 11 last check up it was a 5.7. Hope my list is helpful to some others good luck everyone.
I think you're doing great and thanks for shearing. I just started 4 weeks ago on Mounjaro as we couldn't get Ozempic 2 mg. I figure I'll take it for another 4 weeks and then have dosage increased to 5.0 mg. Seen my Dr. in 2 days.
I have found Gatorade zero still elevated my glucose. I walk after each meal. This lowers the spikes. I also never eat naked carbs. These things are helping me some. Thanks for sharing your tips.
I also take mines Thursday night. This works for me too. My side effects are minimal. Right now the pharmacy has some supply problem I just hope I get my prescription on time. So many people are on it. It was recommended by two of my doctors to try this and behavioral health. We will see what the results are. Good luck everyone. To good health 🍷
I prefer Trulicity dose Saturday evening before bed. I also take out of refrigerator and sit at room temperature for about 30 mins to an hour before injection.
@@skyeblue5669 I've lost a few pounds howevery A1c did lower from 5.7 to 4.9. I believe other contributing factors have helped me e.g added healthy eating (protein, fiber, good fat with every meal) intermittent fasting (16/8) plus strength and low impact exercises 3 xs per week (30 minutes).
My husband is on Mounjaro, he complained about back pain and had kidney stones before, but glad that you mentioned the side effects. Thank you so much.
@@SugarMDs Your welcome Dr. About 2 months ago I was switched to Ozempic 2 mg. I started the first four weeks and all of a sudden my pharmacy told me the 2 mg. dosage was not available so at my request my Dr. prescribed Mounjaro 2.5 mg. I'm having an appointment with her in two days. I think after 8 weeks I should increase Mounjaro to 5.0 mg. and take again for 8 weeks and see how it works. It might require lab work.-
I just started ozempic, I'm 100lbs overweight and pre diabetic in my mid 60's. The doctor gave me the first shot in the office and showed me how to use the pen. I'm on 0.25 dose and will take every Monday morning with my weekly vitamin d pill. So far, I've been OK but its already working I'm addicted to sugar and I don't have a craving for it. I've only eaten one meal but will get back to three a day.
Did you have any dizziness after the first injection? I’m going to start this weekend. My provider told me to ask the pharmacist to show me how to use the pen. But I don’t think I want to get an injection at the clinic and have to drive home?
I honestly don't think your videos are long. I enjoy and learn so much from you. Those ppl who say you take to long must not be serious about their health. If they are complaining. I will watch your videos it doesn't matter long or short. Your videos are very helpful to me and many more ppl. There's alot of us on here that need your expertise knowledge to help us live longer for our families. And we all appreciate you so much more than you will ever know. You are a huge blessing to us 🙏 answered prayer of us. Continue with your long videos those who don't like it they don't have to watch it .Thank you again for everything. God bless and keep you 🙏.
The thing with any of these meds is for your doctor to monitor your kidneys, thyroid, and various factors. I been on Trulicity for almost a year. It works well with lowering my blood sugar, decreasing cravings, and weight loss. I also take several vitamins
I’m new doing this. Took my 2nd shot tirzepitide compound. Oh them 12-18 hours after my shots I’m sooooo nauseated! Yuck. It feels like similar to morning sickness waves and small headache. But right away my morning blood sugars are in the 80s and 90s! So I’m thrilled. No more over 100 since I started. No more anxiety attacks. Like right away. I sometimes have to make myself eat especially the couple days afterwards since not much of an appetite. But the exhaustion is beyond real. I’m so exhausted and kinda having sleep issues the 1st week. I hope this gets better then next few weeks cuz I can’t hang really tbh. I’ve nvr been in a prescription actual drug before either so it’s been rough for me. Pray for me

I’m pre diabetic for 13 years now, taking Metformin.Last month I asked my doctor if I can switch to Ozempic so I can lose weight as well. I started at 0.25 mg, my question is when will I increase the dosage? I know I can ask my doctor this week but I want to hear from you too. Thank you for your service!
Same....that's what my Dr told me also. Mine has been sitting in the frig for five days now. I'm very scared to take it. They say we are being used as guenia pigs for this med. Although my sister and niece have taken it with no side effects.
My daughter found someone taking Mounjaro who suggested taking it a night, which she suggested would help get through some of the nausea. I like the idea of taking them on a weekend.

I've taken trulicity and metformin and I've lost 70 lbs my blood sugars are now pre-diabetic A1C. From April 2023 to November 2023 my starting weight was 300 lb before the medication my A1C was 6.7
My favourite is having a good meal on friday night (not too heavy), chill, go to sleep early and then wake up well for the weekend. I also feel like it helps with my weekend "free eating" mentality

Ozempic: Be wary of the days following the transition from 0.25 to 0.5 mg or 1 to 2 mg. About 48 hours after the first day (Friday night) of increased dosage I had G.I. problems severe enough to almost needing a day off of work. Make sure you have 2 to 3 days off from any important project or work before raising the Ozempic dosage!
In about 2 weeks, I'm highering my dosage to 0.5 mg. I already have back pains. I'm physically disabled from a work accident that happened years ago. So I assume I won't notice the difference? I just hope I don't have more back pain. To prevent getting nausea or stomach aches after taking a shot, just sit about 1/2 hour doing nothing. If you're walking or doing the littlest things, it can cause an upset stomach. So wait it out for the medication to go through your body.
I had to take off two days of work when I increased my Trulicity to 3mg. The first day I was mostly just tired, but day 2 (and for the rest of that week) I felt like I had the flu. It was horrible, but I got through it. No vomiting, just felt blah.

Thank you for the information. I take tulicity and ever since I've bee on it, my back hurts on the right side fro about the shoulder blades to my hips.
I usually Mounjaro 5.0 MG on Saturday evenings at bedtime. Sundays are bad for me because I get very achy, fatigued, sulfur burps, and mild constipation. I rarely vomit. The only time I vomited was when I started Mounjaro two years ago during my first week. If I have to attend an event during the weekend I just change my injection day to Friday evening. This weekend I have to go to DC for the inauguration so I may take it Friday instead of Saturday. Christmas break I had very explosive diarrhea hich started on Boxing day up to the weekend. I skipped my injection during that week. I also found that pickles and it's juice have helped me with my upset stomach. I just suck on the pickle to get the juices on my tongue. It is a life saver.
I started Thursday morning, big mistake, That night io was up all night with mild side effects, but just enough not to let me sleep.....I will be taking it Friday now
You're very welcome! It's great to see that you found the information helpful. If you have any more questions or need further advice, feel free to reach out anytime. Stay healthy and take care! 😊
I took Mounjaro for 3 months. I lost 40 pounds but halfway through when I went to 5 mg I started to get gout in my ankle every week after injecting myself. I could barely walk and was not eating red meat or seafood. This medication definately causes gout in your joints
I just started taking Ozempic last month. I decided Saturday is a good day for me when I put my weekly pill packs together. Thank you Dr Ergin! I really do enjoy all the information you give us on your channel! Keep them coming!

Hiya, do you have to wait a month before you switching from Ozempic to Mounjoro? I finished using my 1ml ozempic after 2 months and it did not work for me so I want to change it to Mounjoro. Thank you
I always start a new medication on a Friday. That way if I do get sick it ruins my weekend and nothing else. I've been using Ozempic since August with no issues but not a whole lot of weight loss either.
Can you cover the actual Surmount Trials and how slow but steady isn’t always going to max out wt Loss benefits… most importantly- how wgt loss flat lines around 45/50 week mark

Starting a new medication can understandably bring up some nerves, but it's great that you're taking this step for your health. While some people do experience side effects when starting medications like Ozempic, Trulicity, or Mounjaro, many find that these can be managed or subside over time. Common side effects may include mild digestive issues, but not everyone experiences them. It can help to stay hydrated and follow any specific guidance from your doctor. Make sure to reach out to your healthcare provider if you have questions or need adjustments. Wishing you the best of luck as you begin this new treatment-you’ve got this!

I was taking trulicity but then my gall bladder started to have issues. I had been taking it for 3 years. What do you think about Rybelsus or do you think there is something better,please?😊
It just been a month on ozempic at 0.25mg and one day last week, i was seeing little black spots. It was scary and planning to talk to my diabetic nurse.
I’m currently on Metformin 500mg and Jardiance 25mg as well as Crestor 10mg. I’m 5’10 180lbs. If I was to move to a once weekly injectable would it likely replace both Jardiance and Metformin? If not, which would it likely replace? This would still leave me taking a daily pill. Which of the injectables do you think does the best for weight loss/control? Which iyo has the least side effects?
I am a type 2 diabetic. I have been on metformin 500mg and a statin for several years. 3 months ago I was prescribed Mounjaro due to blood sugar being high and i am obese. My doctor said I would remain on both meds plus mounjaro.
IMO the best DAY to take it is thursday or friday because my food cravings are the worst during the weekend so I want the strongest effect days to land on the weekend. I don't get nausea or anything from it though, otherwise maybe I wouldn't want to ruin my weekend feeling sick.

I was on mounjaro .5 for 8 weeks but now my insurance copay is to high so I’m on ozempic for a week now .50 tomorrow I will take my next dose but the last 2 days my Blood sugar is going up and I’m eating exactly what I did with mounjaro. Any idea why that would happen? I do t know what the difference between the 2 drugs is although I haven’t had any side effects so far on ozempic compared to the ones on mounjaro
Yes, it's often recommended to let Mounjaro come to room temperature before administering it, as this can reduce discomfort during injection. Typically, allowing the medication to sit out for about 30 minutes before use can make a difference. However, always check the medication guidelines or consult with your healthcare provider for specific instructions!
In addition to being diabetic, I have Fibro. Is there anything I need to know about Ozempic in relation to my illness? Also, what about taking Arthritis strength Tylenol, Tylenol PM, and/or 800 mg ibuprofen with Ozempic?
Wegovy is a weekly injection for weight management, using semaglutide to reduce appetite. It’s effective alongside diet and exercise but consult your doctor for guidance!
I seriously wanted Ozempic because FDA Approves Heart Protective Benefits of Ozempic and Confirms Safety of Rybelsus, however for me 2-3 hrs after injection it induced A-fib just curious as to why
I think it's strange how these drugs in the same family have different side effects for different people. Ozempic and Wegovy had me puking in my bed. Mounjaro has been tolerable, so far (extremely bloated the day of injection week 1 and 2). Quite nervous about increasing dosage in month 2.
Check out sugarmds.com for daily deals on the best diabetic supplements.
Question: I have asked, but no one can give me an answer; how does one psychology convince oneself to stab (inject) oneself?
Don’t ever apologize for making a long video . I would rather get all the information than cut it short. Those who think it is long they can always turn it off. Thank you for your time and info. Keep the good work on helping us with diabetes!

Ozempic: Be wary of the days following the transition from 0.25 to 0.5 mg or 1 to 2 mg.
About 48 hours after the first day (Friday night) of increased dosage I had G.I. problems severe enough to almost needing a day off of work.
Make sure you have 2 to 3 days off from any important project or work before raising the Ozempic dosage!
Thanks for the information!
I had the same issue when upping the dosage for Ozempic. G.I and back pain
In about 2 weeks, I'm highering my dosage to 0.5 mg. I already have back pains. I'm physically disabled from a work accident that happened years ago. So I assume I won't notice the difference? I just hope I don't have more back pain.

The best time is when I can get Mounjoro for less then $862.00. That is the perfect time.
Well, if you have diabetes and reasonable insurance, you should be able to get 4 weeks for $25 like me.
I don’t have diabetes but my insurance covers everything but $40
I have good insurance and I use goodrx and my ozempic is still $1,000.
Would you believe it only costs 5$ to manufacture a month's supply of these drugs?
That suck my box was free lmao
I usually Mounjaro 5.0 MG on Saturday evenings at bedtime. Sundays are bad for me because I get very achy, fatigued, sulfur burps, and mild constipation. I rarely vomit. The only time I vomited was when I started Mounjaro two years ago during my first week. If I have to attend an event during the weekend I just change my injection day to Friday evening. This weekend I have to go to DC for the inauguration so I may take it Friday instead of Saturday. Christmas break I had very explosive diarrhea hich started on Boxing day up to the weekend. I skipped my injection during that week. I also found that pickles and it's juice have helped me with my upset stomach. I just suck on the pickle to get the juices on my tongue. It is a life saver.
✨You Are So Wonderful Dr. Ergin I Love You Man!✨ Please Keep Up The Good Work

I took Mounjaro for 3 months. I lost 40 pounds but halfway through when I went to 5 mg I started to get gout in my ankle every week after injecting myself. I could barely walk and was not eating red meat or seafood. This medication definately causes gout in your joints
Everybody responds differently to medicines…..never had any side effects and have been on MJ for 9 months.
I just started taking Ozempic last month. I decided Saturday is a good day for me when I put my weekly pill packs together. Thank you Dr Ergin! I really do enjoy all the information you give us on your channel! Keep them coming!
Keep watching and learning!

Hiya, do you have to wait a month before you switching from Ozempic to Mounjoro? I finished using my 1ml ozempic after 2 months and it did not work for me so I want to change it to Mounjoro. Thank you
I always start a new medication on a Friday. That way if I do get sick it ruins my weekend and nothing else. I've been using Ozempic since August with no issues but not a whole lot of weight loss either.
@terryl.cooper Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm hoping for your health improvement. 😊

Thank you doctor.
Most welcome!
When does it start working been on it since 5 weeks
There's no need to "keep it short"; can be counterproductive! Those who tell you to "keep it short" may just be tired or have had enough!☺️
Im starting tomorrow and i am nervous about side effects
Starting a new medication can understandably bring up some nerves, but it's great that you're taking this step for your health. While some people do experience side effects when starting medications like Ozempic, Trulicity, or Mounjaro, many find that these can be managed or subside over time. Common side effects may include mild digestive issues, but not everyone experiences them. It can help to stay hydrated and follow any specific guidance from your doctor. Make sure to reach out to your healthcare provider if you have questions or need adjustments. Wishing you the best of luck as you begin this new treatment-you’ve got this!
Hi. How’s it going? I’m going to start ozempic this weekend.
I can't seem to get it here in Massachusetts it says it's been canceled I don't know why
Thank you
Welcome. Stay engaged with our channel and community!
I was prescribed I’m too scared of the side effects!! Especially when I don’t drink enough!!
Thank you Doctor! GOD BLESS♥️🙏
Any feedback regarding Victoza?

I've been on Ozempic for 5 weeks and have noticed the back pain but also have swollen feet. Is this anything to be concerned about?
I was taking trulicity but then my gall bladder started to have issues. I had been taking it for 3 years. What do you think about Rybelsus or do you think there is something better,please?😊
It just been a month on ozempic at 0.25mg and one day last week, i was seeing little black spots. It was scary and planning to talk to my diabetic nurse.
Did you talk to your doctor? What happened did it continue?
I don't take any of these mine are once aday at lunchtime. Live in UK think we do it differently here.
I’m currently on Metformin 500mg and Jardiance 25mg as well as Crestor 10mg. I’m 5’10 180lbs. If I was to move to a once weekly injectable would it likely replace both Jardiance and Metformin? If not, which would it likely replace? This would still leave me taking a daily pill. Which of the injectables do you think does the best for weight loss/control? Which iyo has the least side effects?
It would be nice if this question was answered..
I am a type 2 diabetic. I have been on metformin 500mg and a statin for several years. 3 months ago I was prescribed Mounjaro due to blood sugar being high and i am obese. My doctor said I would remain on both meds plus mounjaro.
thoughts about using trulicity in Cushings Disease?
I’m elderly and live alone should I worry about any effects ? Should I take it while my caregiver is here? I’m starting mounjaro soon.
IMO the best DAY to take it is thursday or friday because my food cravings are the worst during the weekend so I want the strongest effect days to land on the weekend. I don't get nausea or anything from it though, otherwise maybe I wouldn't want to ruin my weekend feeling sick.
Great video don't care if you have a long video ❤

I take Trulicity and I take it on the weekend. Saturdays when I don't have to do anything.
Should it be at the same time everytime
I’ve started Mounjaro today at 16h00 I (Friday) have not had any side effect.
What happens if a type 2 take metformin, semaglutide and dapaglifozin? 5.0 A1C?

Can you cover the actual Surmount Trials and how slow but steady isn’t always going to max out wt Loss benefits… most importantly- how wgt loss flat lines around 45/50 week mark
Oh wow, now I know why Wednesdays are always not nice for me....i take sunday or monday....48 hrs later....yowza
I was on mounjaro .5 for 8 weeks but now my insurance copay is to high so I’m on ozempic for a week now .50 tomorrow I will take my next dose but the last 2 days my Blood sugar is going up and I’m eating exactly what I did with mounjaro. Any idea why that would happen? I do t know what the difference between the 2 drugs is although I haven’t had any side effects so far on ozempic compared to the ones on mounjaro
Is it required to let your Mounjaro come to room temp before taking?
Yes, it's often recommended to let Mounjaro come to room temperature before administering it, as this can reduce discomfort during injection. Typically, allowing the medication to sit out for about 30 minutes before use can make a difference. However, always check the medication guidelines or consult with your healthcare provider for specific instructions!
I take mine on Saturday after a full breakfast, because I am retired and I am in the house on weekends
I take ozempic. The only thing that I've noticed is . When I get up sometimes...I get so dizzy..
I'm on it for weight loss. Is this causing it
Yep low blood sugar causes this. Please have your fruits and water
Can I take Mounjaro and my Methotrexate at the same time?
Very informative. Do you think it's safe to start ozempic if you have some protein in your urine?
Thanks for the insight, I almost made myself throw away my mattress.
In addition to being diabetic, I have Fibro. Is there anything I need to know about Ozempic in relation to my illness? Also, what about taking Arthritis strength Tylenol, Tylenol PM, and/or 800 mg ibuprofen with Ozempic?
I kept vomiting, I did 2 weeks and it is safe to say that Trulicity is not for me.
What about Wegovy?
Wegovy is a weekly injection for weight management, using semaglutide to reduce appetite. It’s effective alongside diet and exercise but consult your doctor for guidance!
Friday after work
Hey doc, are you also Medicosis?
I am having hair lose suddenly since I started Ozempic. What should I do or is it normal.
Have your thyroid checked.
Eat more protein and b12 or B multivitamin
Can a person switch from trulicity to mounjaro and if so, is there a waiting time?
I take mine Friday night as I get a weird taste/feel in my mouth. I also feel it stops me binge eating over fri night/the weekend
The word taste in mouth is a side effect of. It dissipates after a few days.
I take it at night after some good amount of protein.
I really want to see data that shows the advanced glucose support supplement product actually works
I seriously wanted Ozempic because FDA Approves Heart Protective Benefits of Ozempic and Confirms Safety of Rybelsus, however for me 2-3 hrs after injection it induced A-fib just curious as to why
It is a known side effect actually. Pulse rate also goes up almost in everyone.
@@SugarMDs started on victoza so far so good.
I had to stop ozempic because of heart palpitations after 1.5 years on the stuff.
How did the palpitations / afib ho away?
I had heart palpitations after being on Ozempic for 4 months
What is the therapeutic dose for ozempic? Thank you!
It ranges from 0.25 to 2 mg per week for diabetes. Higher for weight loss.
I think it's strange how these drugs in the same family have different side effects for different people. Ozempic and Wegovy had me puking in my bed. Mounjaro has been tolerable, so far (extremely bloated the day of injection week 1 and 2). Quite nervous about increasing dosage in month 2.
