For Type 2 Diabetes "I’ve been taking Mounjaro for three years. Side effects in the beginning were pretty bad. I had stomach issues that took time and trials to get under control. I also was uncomfortably cold. The stigma of losing weight was a new thing for me. Family thought I had an eating disorder. I vomited a lot in the first year. I lost 70 pounds. I lost a ton of hair and muscle. Today, I am on a maintenance dose of 10. I have put back on 15 pounds, and I’m good with that. My A1C is stable at 5.7. I still crave healthy foods instead of junk. My aversion to fried food and meats is still active. I take 2 stool softeners and 1 tablespoon of MiraLAX daily. Drink plenty of fluids to keep things flowing. I would do it all over even knowing the struggles. The benefits are too much to list."

For Type 2 Diabetes "Started out at the lowest dose due to stomach issues with new meds. Things went well for 4 weeks, then bumped up to 5 mg. No major side effects, no sickness, etc. About 4 weeks in, started having hunger issues. Went to 5 mg twice a week and did great for 3 months. Weight loss was 1 to 2 lbs per week. Just now starting 15 mg once a week."
