@@donnak9258 yes- for me the biggest thing was feeling nauseous after eating or if I ate too much, dry mouth, and constipation. I will say that my side effects were mild though, and seemed to go away after the first few weeks. I’m now 11 weeks in and I’ve now lost 38 pounds!
@@iamme50 eating healthy and exercise is a must if you don’t want saggy skin- I am now up to 48 pounds of weight loss and I do not work out super intense- mostly cardio on an elliptical and stationary bike 6 days a week at 40-60 minutes.
On Mounjaro for the past five months. Down 61 lbs. feeling great. No side effects other than some constipation in the first two months. That was resolved with some probiotics. I also exercise 6 days a week, 90 minutes a day, low carbs, no added sugars, 1500 - 1700 calories a day.
I've also started on Tirzepatide 10mg one month ago. I weighed this morning & am down to 265 from 290lbs. I'm 69 and type 2. I was worried about going to low on blood sugar but it's almost perfect now. Runs from 70-100. Amazing!
Just took my first injection .25 mg 3 days ago. No side effects so far and no more hunger! I have also changed to a WFPB diet, with the occasional egg and walk 30 mins a day. I have high hopes!!
I can’t believe it! I’m not hungry and have zero cravings on this med. I’m not diabetic but it was prescribed to me for weight loss. I’ve lost 8 lbs in 1 week!
For those nervous to do the injection!!! Switched from Ozempic yesterday. Took my first Mounjaro injection last night. It was painless!!! It took me 45 minutes to build up the nerve to do it because the need is already attached and primed in the chamber. I was afraid it was going to jab me or do it too hard. NO!!! It clicks once to let you know the needle is inserted and clicks when the injection is done. I didn’t feel anything. The needle is very fine and the injection is gentle. The clicks and seeing the plunger move in the chamber is how I knew I received the medication. I also squeeze my fat so hard that the squeeze hurts more than anything else. Lol. I fast also to help build metabolism and promote weight loss. I just took a FEW BITES of my chicken salad, a few cherry tomatoes and I had to struggle to finish my V8 juice. I normally would eat a majority of the container and all of my cherry tomatoes. I was FULL. I didn’t want to eat anymore. 😮
Can I ask why you switched from Ozempic and how the Mounjaro is so far? I tried Ozempic a few months ago but stopped after 3 weeks due to low blood sugars. I’m starting again this week and stopping both my oral meds for blood sugar. Hoping that will help and keep my sugars from dropping too low. I asked my Dr today about Mounjaro instead and she said she isn’t prescribing it yet.
I started around the first week of October/last week in September. Last Sunday I had lost a total of 22 pounds (started at 2.5 mg, now up to 5 mg). I do not have the same relationship with food I used to have. I can leave stuff on my plate now. I do sometimes need an anti-nausea pill, but not always. I probably eat once a day (with a light snack in place of dinner sometimes), take a multivitamin, and drink plenty of water. The occasional nausea is worth it. I’m already fitting into stuff that was too tight a couple of months ago!

I am on mounjaro (newest one) since 7/15/2022, as of today 6 months later my A1C dropped from 6.5 to 5.5 , weight from 248 to 211 near 40 lbs , yes I believe it’s possible for 52 lbs in 52 weeks
I was on 2.5 for four weeks and now I'm on week 2 of 5. I have only lost 5 pounds, but my blood sugars are GREAT! I am type 1, and I have experienced some lows. I currently am wearing a boot to treat a torn ligament in my foot, so I am not able to do much walking. I desperately need to lose weight and remain hopeful that more weight loss will occur.
I got sick back in March where I didn't eat for a week. In April I saw my doctor about getting back on phentermine (Adipex). Since then my wife and I have lost almost 100 lbs. between the both of us. Well I am on a two week break of phentermine because my blood pressure spiked but my doctor prescribed me Mournjaro. Its on order so hopefully I can pick it up tomorrow. Unlike these drugs, diet and exercise are key to making these things work. Cut out as much junk food as possible. Cut down on carbs. The most important thing to do is cut out pop (or soda for those who call it that). Sugary drinks will definitely packed the pounds.
This drug is incredible. I was able to get off my night time insulin while eating the same healthy food. It is making my own insulin actually work! I have lost 17 pounds in 5 weeks and feel amazing!
Why is no one talking side effects like Thyroid cancer and MTC? There are some doctors out there saying not to take because it’s not clinically tested yet enough for long term.
My Dr gave me a sample box to try last week. I haven’t taken it yet, concerned about it being so new, and how it may react in my body. I’m leary to try it; for side effect reasons.
That’s what i am saying. Long term, we don’t know what it does and they have proved it causes cancer in rats. Rats will be the only thing that will outlive us lol
5 months in, slowly titrated up from 2.5mg to 10mg. 42 lbs weight loss. Slight nausea when I started but not since week 3. The only unhappy side-effect is occasional days with sulphuric burps due to slowed stomach emptying.
It supresses appetite. It makes you nauseous all the time. So you don't really feel like eating. If you do - it will pound you and remind you how nauseous you can be. Is it a bigger price to pay than years of struggling with losing weight?
I’m on Ozempic first injection of 2.5 was 5/5/23 loss 24 as of today 6/5/23 and took the first dose of 0.5- I eat super clean very low appetite so I really eat a few bites of each meal that I make myself eat- I drink only water no alcohol no sugar salt very low carbs- I walk 3 miles per day and 15 mins of core 6 days per week and I fast 16/8- best health I’ve been in over 20 yrs ✌🏽💋
I wish I can get one. My benefits isn't accepted and too broke to purchase. I'm 275 pounds and I don't know how to get one....too bad for me....I'm happy for u
Bad thing...Tirzepatide cost 2 to 3 times as much as Semaglutide GLP-1. I really haven't seen any clinical comparisons to each other. I expect Tirzepatide to be stronger, but at what cost? Compare 3mg of Semaglutide to 15mg of Tirzepatide.
Hard to say actually Brian. I know some of our consultants will switch patients if they have stagnated with their weight loss to more potent options but then 40lbs off is pretty good going!
Normal healthy diet Kerry No need to overthink it But good to try to build healthy eating habits alongside this because if the jabs removed, people tend to gain weight and return to previous dietary intakes Lots of veggies, some fruits, lean proteins, slow releasing carbs.
If you A1C drops to a low point. Than are you still in need of Insulin, or can that be adjusted by your doctor ? And would you still (technically) still be a diabetic ? Starting Ozempic on 09/23/2022 ..oh yippee !!
Hi Jeff I think I understand what you mean. If you’re A1c has dropped whilst on insulin below target levels and the only thing that has changed is your weight e.g. same insulin dose but lower A1c. Then the risk is hypos if on insulin. So step 1 is to reduce the insulin. Then you keep lowering the insulin and see how that effects blood glucose levels day to day. If the reduction causes high glucose levels or an increased A1c then you need insulin. If you continue to hypo or have low A1cs (likely hypo range) you repeat the process. However, if your A1c is in target range with insulin then you probably can’t stop insulin at that point But the point is - yes if you lose weight - insulin doses often come down and some people are able to stop depending on the individual 👍
@Diabetes Diet Guy I tell you what 1st 24 hours was feeling sick for a few hours and lost appetite which is still ongoing 24 hours later for some reason my body is telling me im not hungry 2 litres of water good kettle bell work out inbetween
How are you people losing so much weight in 3 or 5 months?? I'm on insulin 2 times a day and still have my appetite and have only lost 4 lbs in 3 months on 5 mg mounjaro.
Hey Jane I’m not too hot on things that side of the Atlantic as I presume your question is American based? I’m UK based so the system is just so different here. Perhaps someone can help out in the comments?
If you are taking it for weight loss, insurance and the copay card won't cover it. I have a very expensive BCBS plan. No coverage. GoodRx has discount cards. In my area, a one month supply ranges from $944.31-$1037.
I dont have diabetes but this was off label prescribed to me for weight loss. I just took my first injection Sunday and have lost 3 pounds which is pretty good. Better than expected.
Hey Kelli Yes it’s a medication for type 2 diabetes. This class of meds may be licensed in the future for purely weight loss. One of them is already but the rest are not. But usually when one is licensed the others follow eventually. However, yes, at the moment, it requires prescription
@@kelliboyton4074 ooooo not sure It’s not actually available in the UK just yet Kelli. I think it’s still in the trials phase but it’s coming from what I read. Happy to be corrected from anyone reading 👍
Sounds stupid but how does a type 1 put weight on healthily. I have good control and very active lifestyle but feel like I’m eating none stop! Always see videos about losing weight but never gaining weight.
Hey Greg, it's very inter personal thing. Would likely need a full assessment and personalised plan. Could be lots of things preventing you gaining weight. Less sinister examples include high metabolism, lots of activity, lower calorie food options or just eating less/less calories than you think.
@@gregflowers83 If you go to any Store which handles Muscle building, you will see tons of complex carbs. This, combined with exercise, will increase your mass and weight. If you go to a gym, ask a trainer to help you! Better yet, look up muscle building on youtube
Maybe your BS is running high? If you are eating non stop, and your BS is high, you may actually lose weight. My little sis did that in college to lose weight and she ended up losing one of her retinas
I have diabetes and my doctor put me on Trulicity to control by ACI but I heard about the major side effect thyroid cancer I am worry about developing one. How long have you been on Trulicity before noticing a your cist?
I’d need to re look at the study Joyce Think that’s over a year off the top of my head. That was the first end point reporting period. If it was longer, it wasn’t much longer
@@J.D.Vision which highlights how people should view weight loss cause I know a lot patients who if they lost 3.5lbs in a month would be disappointed. Although, the weight loss likely started more rapid initially and tapered off over time but it speculating
Not sure where you’re based April It’s available in the US but not in the UK as yet To my knowledge in the UK it will initially only be licensed if you have type 2 diabetes but that will likely change down the line as further licenses are granted But ultimately it comes from a doctors prescription.
I am diabète 2 and I take ozempic and insuline! For 6 month! I didn’t lose one pound! Should I choose this drug instead of ozempic! I am desperate because all my friends lost weight! Please help .from canada😓😓😓😓😓
Hi Jacqueline Sorry to hear it’s not working for you Perhaps you need to up the dose ?? Have you spoken to the doctor? Not everyone responds to the meds to be honest but worth speaking with the doc to see if there’s a bigger dose or another option that might suit you better
If the medicine make you not eat, vomit, and nauseated, then you are pretty much starving yourself. Why are most doctors against ppl doing the One Meal A Day fast when this med doesn’t even allow people to really eat. Maybe I am confuse but I thought if you eat under 1200 calories you are in starvation mode and will slow down your metabolism( according to some drs.) So is it different because the medicine causes slow digestion? I have a GLP-1 Ozempic but is reluctant to administer it because I see the needle. I thought it was like my diabetes lancet where the needle is not seen and you just press the button.
Hi Trina No this isn’t a starvation diet. Nor is 1200kcal starvation but it’s a low energy intake. If you’re vomiting you should stop the meds. Most people do not get the severe side effects you describe. I think the main difference is when someone follows a lower kcal diet without a GLP-1 they are fighting hunger and essentially the drive to eat. So it rarely is sustainable long term. What this does is remove the biological driver to eat too much. Which is a good option for some people and makes it more sustained. The diet you eat should still be nutrient rich. But my preferred option as a dietitian is to always eat healthy and exercise regularly without the need for meds But for a multitude of reasons, lots of people can’t follow that route. In which case, helping them lose weight and for the most part - simultaneously treat their diabetes - is better than not doing it. A few diabetes meds like insulin or sulphonylureas treat glucose levels but make you put on weight with no other additional benefits. So long term the diabetes will likely actually get worse metabolically Whereas meds like GLP-1 and SGLT-2 inhibitor’s help you lose weight - so treat the underlying cause of the diabetes so it gets better and have additional benefits like CVD and renal protection. So if you’re choosing a med, these are probably a better option longer term than other options. So I can see why they are widely used.
Ps by all accounts the injection is relatively painless btw. So maybe give it a try 👍. Worst case it’s not for you. Best case it really helps Keep us updated Trina!
Must admit I’ve not had a shot of this rich but by all accounts if you’ve ever had a blood finger glucose, it’s easier than that It’s not like atypical injection. It’s a very small fine needle. So as injections go, this will be one of the best.
Absolutely none. I have a insulin pump and its way more painful. all you hear is a click and after a second a second click its done and no pain whatsoever.
@@faithinthejourney6409 hey faith Im just asking as you’re mentioning a very specific cancer risk? So was just asking what your source as this isn’t a commonly association with these meds There are some contraindications - one if you have already developed a specific type of cancer but there’s no evidence I or my colleagues have ever mentioned, or the reps who represent them, or the medial literature I’ve encountered that have mentioned an increased risk in cancer rates. So I’d appreciate ya source if ok 👌
@@maggienjoshreynolds6592 yep Maggie and that’s all in the contraindications publicly listed and considered by your medical team. Like you shouldn’t take these if you have a history of pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer either Ozempic shouldn’t be started in people with active retinopathy. That’s different from causing cancer of causing eye disease. And this is why we have medical histories, records and consultations to decide the most appropriate medications based on your individual circumstances. Same with oral diabetes therapies. They won’t be started if your kidney function is impaired to a certain level or you have certain histories. So what you describe is accurate but different from causing disease.
I had severe, severe exhaustion and daily random, harsh naseau with Trulicity and ozempic. Harder with Trulicity. Levels barely moved. Should I even try Mounjaro? Anyone have a different side affects with it than the others?
Hey Wm The Overwhelming majority of it is fat. With respect to those on the medication, the indication for starting this medicine is that you are carrying too much fat mass
@@silvanastephanie well no rush. Do your best with diet and exercise first. That’s always the better route anyway in my opinion but I’m sure it I’ll be available soon enough
Well Eli Lilly is the drug maker of this particular drug. I live about 20 minutes away from Eli Lily's headquarters here in Indianapolis Indiana. In the US I'm going to have to call them and see if I can get any discount. I know about all the other drugs to everyone. Has put in alpha diabetes and weight loss. I should have known that they had something out too. They even have something out now for alopecia. But for some reason their drugs are so high. Too high for even then Sean's to even pay for it. What is one of these drugs that you can't.Mounjaro. get a coupon code for and it is if you go on their website and . A few questions they will give you a coupon for $25 to buy this.

This drug is incredible. I was able to get off my night time insulin while eating the same healthy food. It is making my own insulin actually work! I have lost 17 pounds in 5 weeks and feel amazing!
Why is no one talking side effects like Thyroid cancer and MTC? There are some doctors out there saying not to take because it’s not clinically tested yet enough for long term.
My Dr gave me a sample box to try last week. I haven’t taken it yet, concerned about it being so new, and how it may react in my body. I’m leary to try it; for side effect reasons.
That’s what i am saying. Long term, we don’t know what it does and they have proved it causes cancer in rats. Rats will be the only thing that will outlive us lol
My dr said that it only caused cancer to rats fed higher levels than we'll ever receive.
Fake News
Why is no one talking about if it hurts when it pokes you
I've been on Mounjaro 2.5, the smallest dosage, for five days (one injection) and I've lost ten pounds. My pants are beginning to become loose.
5 days? Wow congratulations
@@lilydjesus9009 I'm on week three and I'm down 17 now.
any changes to your diet and exercise?
@@redleydaza8503 I'm down 21 pounds total with 35 pounds as my goal.
5 months in, slowly titrated up from 2.5mg to 10mg. 42 lbs weight loss. Slight nausea when I started but not since week 3. The only unhappy side-effect is occasional days with sulphuric burps due to slowed stomach emptying.
It supresses appetite. It makes you nauseous all the time. So you don't really feel like eating. If you do - it will pound you and remind you how nauseous you can be. Is it a bigger price to pay than years of struggling with losing weight?
GLP-1/GIP for the win! Gosh I just want to be healthy.
I'm going to see if I can get my doctor to prescribe it for me
I’m on Ozempic first injection of 2.5 was 5/5/23 loss 24 as of today 6/5/23 and took the first dose of 0.5- I eat super clean very low appetite so I really eat a few bites of each meal that I make myself eat- I drink only water no alcohol no sugar salt very low carbs- I walk 3 miles per day and 15 mins of core 6 days per week and I fast 16/8- best health I’ve been in over 20 yrs ✌🏽💋
I wish I can get one. My benefits isn't accepted and too broke to purchase. I'm 275 pounds and I don't know how to get one....too bad for me....I'm happy for u
How do you all afford this?
Bad thing...Tirzepatide cost 2 to 3 times as much as Semaglutide GLP-1. I really haven't seen any clinical comparisons to each other. I expect Tirzepatide to be stronger, but at what cost? Compare 3mg of Semaglutide to 15mg of Tirzepatide.
I pay 25 dollars for my monthly prescription, I just went online and got a copay card for it.
@@jeffreyjohnsrude8701 that was a limited special promotion
I've lost 5lbs in 2 days since starting it. I'm sure it's water weight.
I've lost 40 pounds on semaglutide, in 9 months. i seem to be snacking more at night would it make sense to switch to tirzepatide for a while?
Hard to say actually Brian. I know some of our consultants will switch patients if they have stagnated with their weight loss to more potent options but then 40lbs off is pretty good going!
@@diabetesdietguy i just want to keep the weight off,
@@Brian.8272 speak with your nurse/doctor and keep an eye on your weight
@@diabetesdietguy i dont want to lose more, i just want to maintain
Yes
First day of my weight loss journey. Hoping for good results with little side effects. Wondering what diet or foods you work with along with the shot.
Normal healthy diet Kerry
No need to overthink it
But good to try to build healthy eating habits alongside this because if the jabs removed, people tend to gain weight and return to previous dietary intakes
Lots of veggies, some fruits, lean proteins, slow releasing carbs.
Update! How did it go?!
I’ve lost over 30 pounds in about 6 weeks on this drug.
What diet did you follow along semaglutide?
The available doses are actually 2.5mg( loading dose) 5mg, 7.5mg,
10mg, 12.5mg and 15mg.
If you A1C drops to a low point. Than are you still in need of Insulin, or can that be adjusted by your doctor ? And would you still (technically) still be a diabetic ? Starting Ozempic on 09/23/2022 ..oh yippee !!
Hi Jeff
I think I understand what you mean. If you’re A1c has dropped whilst on insulin below target levels and the only thing that has changed is your weight e.g. same insulin dose but lower A1c. Then the risk is hypos if on insulin. So step 1 is to reduce the insulin.
Then you keep lowering the insulin and see how that effects blood glucose levels day to day. If the reduction causes high glucose levels or an increased A1c then you need insulin. If you continue to hypo or have low A1cs (likely hypo range) you repeat the process.
However, if your A1c is in target range with insulin then you probably can’t stop insulin at that point
But the point is - yes if you lose weight - insulin doses often come down and some people are able to stop depending on the individual 👍
@@diabetesdietguy Thank you .
Just started on trulicity 1.5 mg today i have no idea how effective this will be or the same as the above mentioned???
Hi mnhuu
Not everyone responds but for those that do they are quite effective
Truly isnt as effective as the one in the video though
@Diabetes Diet Guy
I tell you what 1st 24 hours was feeling sick for a few hours and lost appetite which is still ongoing 24 hours later for some reason my body is telling me im not hungry 2 litres of water good kettle bell work out inbetween
I have been on monjaro. I lost weight. Now I'm stuck on Medicaid and they want me to try using ozempic and trulicity. My doctor says no way.
How are you people losing so much weight in 3 or 5 months?? I'm on insulin 2 times a day and still have my appetite and have only lost 4 lbs in 3 months on 5 mg mounjaro.
My insurance denied my prescription for it.
Sorry to hear that
I’ve heard it’s been tough to get in some instances
SMH. Semaglutide was only worked on GLP-1 receptors. Tirzepatide works on GLP-1 and BIP receptors.
Hey Richard
Yep you’re correct although it’s GIP if not a typo
I have anxiety so I''m debating if I should get Mounjaro or not..
I was able to be off of my meds because of it
@@LakennaChitmanBooker Thank You. Ever since I got the Covid shot Moderna...my anxiety went from 1 to 10. I also had an allergic reaction.
Why is this channel not called Dietbetes?
Ha ha good shout.
Any word as to when the coupon 4 Montjaro will be available? It can nit otherwise afford and I want to do it so badly
Hey Jane
I’m not too hot on things that side of the Atlantic as I presume your question is American based? I’m UK based so the system is just so different here. Perhaps someone can help out in the comments?
Can someone who is taking this say how much they pay and what kind of insurance they have? I'm worried it's unaffordable.
If you have commercial insurance there is a copay card for 25.00 per month.
your doctor can give you a coupon it will only cost 25 a month
Google the coupon online for this product.
I paid $30 and I have Kaiser/HMO coverage. I received 2 pens. Just took my first injection tonight
If you are taking it for weight loss, insurance and the copay card won't cover it. I have a very expensive BCBS plan. No coverage. GoodRx has discount cards. In my area, a one month supply ranges from $944.31-$1037.
I started this in 5mg tablet form and in 8 days I've lost 4kg
I dont have diabetes but this was off label prescribed to me for weight loss. I just took my first injection Sunday and have lost 3 pounds which is pretty good. Better than expected.
What dose for they prescribe you ? Thank you
@@salonsoFL 2.5 for 4 weeks for a loading dose. They will increase it next month.
You shouldn't be on it if not diabetic. Diabetics can't get it because of people like you. Theres a world shortage
@@FeliciasJourney27 update
@@todds5956 down 28 lbs so far. Week 12
I was taking mounjaro got so sick had to go to the emergency was very sick because of being very constipated got chills hot flashes
But do you have to have a script for this and is it easy to get one from your doctor if your not diabetic.?
Hey Kelli
Yes it’s a medication for type 2 diabetes. This class of meds may be licensed in the future for purely weight loss. One of them is already but the rest are not. But usually when one is licensed the others follow eventually.
However, yes, at the moment, it requires prescription
@@diabetesdietguy its not available in Australian yet is it.
@@kelliboyton4074 ooooo not sure
It’s not actually available in the UK just yet Kelli. I think it’s still in the trials phase but it’s coming from what I read. Happy to be corrected from anyone reading 👍
Can you tell me the one that is currently prescribed for weight loss?
@@gladysg949 liraglutide I think Gladys. But I think more are being approved. Think semgalutide 2.4mg is soon to be approved
Are these shots suitable for over 65 years of age people?
Age might be a consideration in some circumstances Brenda but as fair as I’m aware age isn’t a reason not to start it if it’s suitable
I take it and I am 74. Some nausea the day after my shot but it’s not too bad.
Sounds stupid but how does a type 1 put weight on healthily. I have good control and very active lifestyle but feel like I’m eating none stop! Always see videos about losing weight but never gaining weight.
Hey Greg, it's very inter personal thing. Would likely need a full assessment and personalised plan. Could be lots of things preventing you gaining weight. Less sinister examples include high metabolism, lots of activity, lower calorie food options or just eating less/less calories than you think.
Have you ever considered weight-lifting building? Usually you use special carbs to increase muscle mass. Just a thought
@@vlugovsky hey what do you mean by special carbs?
@@gregflowers83 If you go to any Store which handles Muscle building, you will see tons of complex carbs. This, combined with exercise, will increase your mass and weight. If you go to a gym, ask a trainer to help you! Better yet, look up muscle building on youtube
Maybe your BS is running high? If you are eating non stop, and your BS is high, you may actually lose weight. My little sis did that in college to lose weight and she ended up losing one of her retinas
I have problems with my Thyroid too I had half of it taken out due to a cist
I have diabetes and my doctor put me on Trulicity to control by ACI but I heard about the major side effect thyroid cancer I am worry about developing one. How long have you been on Trulicity before noticing a your cist?
Interesting I take this medication but at 2.5mg
I didn't get the name right. I tried looking up Zephytide and I got no listing. PLEASE HELP!
Names in the description Siahn 👍
Tirzepatide
The medication was cash price ... $1500 a month. Some insurers will cover it.
52 pounds in what period of time?
I’d need to re look at the study Joyce
Think that’s over a year off the top of my head. That was the first end point reporting period. If it was longer, it wasn’t much longer
40 weeks but they were followed for over a year
@@melissaacostaSC ah thanks Melissa! 👍
52 pounds in 72 weeks.
Around 3.5 pounds a month right?
@@J.D.Vision which highlights how people should view weight loss cause I know a lot patients who if they lost 3.5lbs in a month would be disappointed. Although, the weight loss likely started more rapid initially and tapered off over time but it speculating
How do you get prescription
Not sure where you’re based April
It’s available in the US but not in the UK as yet
To my knowledge in the UK it will initially only be licensed if you have type 2 diabetes but that will likely change down the line as further licenses are granted
But ultimately it comes from a doctors prescription.
how do you get this stuff i have been trying
you get it if you have type 2 diabetes from your endocrinologist
@@Lisa-ux4wpnegative.. it’s been approved for weight loss for obese people
I am diabète 2 and I take ozempic and insuline! For 6 month! I didn’t lose one pound! Should I choose this drug instead of ozempic! I am desperate because all my friends lost weight! Please help .from canada😓😓😓😓😓
Hi Jacqueline
Sorry to hear it’s not working for you
Perhaps you need to up the dose ?? Have you spoken to the doctor?
Not everyone responds to the meds to be honest but worth speaking with the doc to see if there’s a bigger dose or another option that might suit you better
is trulicity the same just UK name, i'm on 3mg dose
Trulicity is the same drug class but a different medication.
If the medicine make you not eat, vomit, and nauseated, then you are pretty much starving yourself. Why are most doctors against ppl doing the One Meal A Day fast when this med doesn’t even allow people to really eat. Maybe I am confuse but I thought if you eat under 1200 calories you are in starvation mode and will slow down your metabolism( according to some drs.) So is it different because the medicine causes slow digestion? I have a GLP-1 Ozempic but is reluctant to administer it because I see the needle. I thought it was like my diabetes lancet where the needle is not seen and you just press the button.
Hi Trina
No this isn’t a starvation diet. Nor is 1200kcal starvation but it’s a low energy intake.
If you’re vomiting you should stop the meds. Most people do not get the severe side effects you describe.
I think the main difference is when someone follows a lower kcal diet without a GLP-1 they are fighting hunger and essentially the drive to eat. So it rarely is sustainable long term.
What this does is remove the biological driver to eat too much. Which is a good option for some people and makes it more sustained. The diet you eat should still be nutrient rich.
But my preferred option as a dietitian is to always eat healthy and exercise regularly without the need for meds
But for a multitude of reasons, lots of people can’t follow that route. In which case, helping them lose weight and for the most part - simultaneously treat their diabetes - is better than not doing it.
A few diabetes meds like insulin or sulphonylureas treat glucose levels but make you put on weight with no other additional benefits. So long term the diabetes will likely actually get worse metabolically
Whereas meds like GLP-1 and SGLT-2 inhibitor’s help you lose weight - so treat the underlying cause of the diabetes so it gets better and have additional benefits like CVD and renal protection.
So if you’re choosing a med, these are probably a better option longer term than other options. So I can see why they are widely used.
Ps by all accounts the injection is relatively painless btw. So maybe give it a try 👍. Worst case it’s not for you. Best case it really helps
Keep us updated Trina!
People who DONT have Diabetes Are suffering from EXTREME LOW BLOOD SUGAR RELATED PROBLEMS…
I thought it would. If it lowers blood sugar to the extremes for a diabetic, it is going to do the same thing for someone who is not a diabetic.
Does Trulicity help loose weight?
Yes
I am pre diabetic my Doctor didn't want to put me on muguro
Find a virtual doctor
How does it feel going in..I hate shots...somebody please give me an honest answer
Must admit I’ve not had a shot of this rich but by all accounts if you’ve ever had a blood finger glucose, it’s easier than that
It’s not like atypical injection. It’s a very small fine needle. So as injections go, this will be one of the best.
It’s a subcutaneous injection painless
It feels like if you poked a sliver on your skin to see if it was sharp. It doesn't hurt hardly at all. The needle is very small.
U can’t feel it at all
Is the injection painful?
Lots of comments about this below and the overwhelming consensus is no it isn’t
Nope
My guess is a heart attack, amputations, stroke issues and so on. Hurt far more than the very fine needle from this injection.
Absolutely none. I have a insulin pump and its way more painful. all you hear is a click and after a second a second click its done and no pain whatsoever.
52 lb. weight loss over what period of time?
40 weeks I think Diana but participants were followed for a year
@@diabetesdietguy over 72 weeks
IS NO ONE GONNA MENTION CANCER RISK?
Any evidence you’re referring to specifically bexy??
Everything has a risk, being overweight has risks. Nothing is without risk
@@faithinthejourney6409 hey faith
Im just asking as you’re mentioning a very specific cancer risk? So was just asking what your source as this isn’t a commonly association with these meds
There are some contraindications - one if you have already developed a specific type of cancer but there’s no evidence I or my colleagues have ever mentioned, or the reps who represent them, or the medial literature I’ve encountered that have mentioned an increased risk in cancer rates.
So I’d appreciate ya source if ok 👌
If Thyroid cancer has ran in your family or you have had it yourself ur at risk.
@@maggienjoshreynolds6592 yep Maggie and that’s all in the contraindications publicly listed and considered by your medical team. Like you shouldn’t take these if you have a history of pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer either
Ozempic shouldn’t be started in people with active retinopathy.
That’s different from causing cancer of causing eye disease.
And this is why we have medical histories, records and consultations to decide the most appropriate medications based on your individual circumstances.
Same with oral diabetes therapies. They won’t be started if your kidney function is impaired to a certain level or you have certain histories. So what you describe is accurate but different from causing disease.
I had severe, severe exhaustion and daily random, harsh naseau with Trulicity and ozempic. Harder with Trulicity. Levels barely moved.
Should I even try Mounjaro? Anyone have a different side affects with it than the others?
I get pancreatic inflamación
any pancreatic issues such as pancreatitis unfortunately is a contraindication for these meds yeska
Isn't this Mounjaro?
Yes
It is fantastic weight loss amazing
I have a question. Are you losing fat or muscle
Hey Wm
The Overwhelming majority of it is fat. With respect to those on the medication, the indication for starting this medicine is that you are carrying too much fat mass
Can we get prescribed mounjaro if we don’t have diabetes
Not in the UK silvana buy there will be others. I think wagovy is coming soon just for weight loss
@@diabetesdietguy I was goin to get wegovy…but there’s a shortage…ugh so frustrating

Well Eli Lilly is the drug maker of this particular drug. I live about 20 minutes away from Eli Lily's headquarters here in Indianapolis Indiana. In the US I'm going to have to call them and see if I can get any discount. I know about all the other drugs to everyone. Has put in alpha diabetes and weight loss. I should have known that they had something out too. They even have something out now for alopecia. But for some reason their drugs are so high. Too high for even then Sean's to even pay for it. What is one of these drugs that you can't.Mounjaro. get a coupon code for and it is if you go on their website and . A few questions they will give you a coupon for $25 to buy this. All drugs should be cheap saying that our government really helps them out. 😔
