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 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 my movement.
Hi, Tom, I commented on your instagram a few weeks ago. I’m the one that dropped my A1C from 12 in January to 8.5 just this month. The progress continues but it requires continuing to chip away at the weak spots. Currently, I’m perplexed by the realization that I crave sweets at the end of the day, after dinner. I’ve taken a page out of your book and added protein bars and shakes to my repertoire in order to at least bulk up my protein intake if I have to give in to the sweet craving.
Even so, I alternate between that and some fruit and as much as I’m keeping it there so far, I hate that it means a spike in my sugar reading late in the day and I hate that I’m not addressing the craving’s cause and instead finding ways to cave to it, albeit with as healthy an option as I can manage.
Do you or your listeners have any kind of progressive weaning off strategy that can be shared and put to use in the hopes that I curb the craving and not just the way I address it?
Having a rough day today and I don’t want to self-medicate with treats!
Thank you for your constant positivity,
Claudia
