Mounjaro Update
For my Mounjaro update, I’m still at the 7.5 milligram dose. I’ll probably be at that 7.5 milligram dose for a while. if my A1C and my gmi or any indication of how things are going, there’s really no need to increase that dosage at all.
Very happy with the A1C control I’m getting with that Mounjaro and I am, it’s controlling my hunger. It’s, it’s really working out well for me. So I’m pleased with the combination of the Mounjaro, my eating, and movement.
