🎵 Haven't Got Time For The Pain🎵

Been a crap week.
Went off Mounjaro at 7.5 dosage.
I took it Monday and threw up for two days and couldn't eat much.(which has thrown off my good blood sugar levels for 4 days now)
When, I did manage to eat anything it either came back up or it tasted disgusting no matter what I tried to eat.
Perhaps, you lose weight by starvation?
I'm still nauseous,but it's lessening now.
One of the side effects can be DKA,which I wasn't aware of.
I had that once,so no thanks to it again.
Never again.
Sorry,thin,but sick all the time doesn't sound very healthy to me.
Suppose to feel good when your healthy.
I still waiting for insurance to pay for labs as it was 3 weeks and not two,as I thought.
I hope whatever happens the endocrinologistest can figure out a good treatment for my diabetes whether it's Diabities type 2 or Diabities type 1.
For me it seems only the insulin helps.
She's talked about putting me on metformin,if I'm type 2, but that's another drug that causes GI and can cause DKA
Are they trying to kill me? 🙄
Anyway, hoping next week goes better.

So many of the medications they prescribe have terrible side effects. I hope your physicians can find one that is right for you!

@LadyBronte I think it's going to depend on what I get diagnosed with or confirmed as. For diabetes 1 you don't take pills you just take insulin.
Diabetes 2 you can take insulin and pills or just pills.
Diabetes 1 is when the pancreas makes little to no insulin so you have to give yourself insulin and diabetes 2 your body is making some insulin, but your body doesn't know how to use it.
If you become insulin resistant sometimes you will need insulin.

@Justmeraeagain Yes. I'm an RN and have taken care of people who are both insulin dependent and those who take oral medications. Unfortunately, it can often be trial and error to find an effective, tolerable medication. Hopefully you'll find something right away after your diagnosis. Wishing you luck!

@LadyBronte Thank you and maybe, I can ask you questions from time to time if your okay with that?
