I mentioned in this thread about how Lilly was presenting retatrutide this summer. [https://www.reddit.com/r/Mounjaro/comments/14f9mqm/insurance\_stopped\_coverage\_and\_im\_feeling\_so\_low/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Mounjaro/comments/14f9mqm/insurance_stopped_coverage_and_im_feeling_so_low/) &

TLDR: A new analysis of SURPASS-CVOT finds tirzepatide is superior to dulaglutide in reducing cardio-renal events. This matters because dulaglutide has already been shown to reduce the incidence of cardiovascular events. ============================ SURPASS-CVOT looked at patients with type 2 diabet

hello friends,I’m a Chinese who plan to study in Canada.I have type 2 diabetes,and take GLP-1 drugs “Trulicity (Dulaglutide)”4 pens/mouth. I asked online and learned that 1 tube of it around 250 CAD,a mouth will be 1000 CAD,which is 8 times the price I used in China. I can’t afford it. I want to ask
The British Cardiovascular Society just published a detailed breakdown of the SURPASS-CVOT trial, which compared tirzepatide head-to-head against dulaglutide in over 13,000 patients with type 2 diabetes and established cardiovascular disease . Tirzepatide met the bar for noninferiority which means t
Hello ! I'm an agronomist engineer who works with data. My family is full of physicians, and growing up around medicine gave me a respect for the Hippocratic oath and a curiosity about drug safety. I started exploring FAERS (the FDA's adverse event reporting system, 30M+ spontaneous reports) and rea
I just started taking Trulicity today and am curious about other people's experiences with it. Has your A1C improved? Have you lost weight? Anything else notable about it? So far I feel like I'm less hungry, more full feeling; though that may just be placebo. Thank you to anywho who shares their ex

Update.. my uncontrolled T2 is now under control. I’ve decided to take Mounjaro and I no longer have crazy spikes. So far no side effects. Hey everyone! 👋 My doctor recently gave me two options to help lower my A1C—Ozempic and Mounjaro (Tirzepatide). I’d love to hear from anyone who’s taken either
So I took my first dose of Mournjaro 24 hours ago and I really did not anticipate having side effects so quickly. Most of the day I was okay, but picked up a headache sometime after lunch. I’ve attributed that to possibly not staying hydrated enough, I plan on getting some electrolytes to help with
Recently diagnosed type 2. Have been on metformin since December 1. Have lost about 10 pounds with it but the diarrhea is too much for my system, and i was only at 1000mg extended release once a day. Doc told me to discontinue metformin. Was then contacted by the “weight management” team. They t
It’s amazing how life can turn on a dime. Last week, I was bummed because I had a check up and expected to see improvement in my A1C (blood sugar) after 10 weeks on tirzepatide. Instead, it had shot up into diabetic range. I felt pretty overwhelmed thinking about how I was going to manage yet anothe
So I was diagnosed as diabetic at the beginning of this month. My doctor has been useless. He called me to tell me my blood work showed diabetes and to take metformin for three months and then see him again. That was it. He didn't even tell me what my a1c was or anything. He prescribed me tirzepatid
I am so frustrated! I have been on Mounjaro 12.5mg for about 18 months now, having titrated up from 10mg. I transferred to Mounjaro because Trulicity was not having the same impact as the Ozempic, which I was forced to swap to after my insurance company changed their formulary and Ozempic stopped
Hey so super weird we were looking at her monjaro tirzepatide injection and on the inside of the plastic case for the injection a weird little brown spot has developed and we really just want to know is that normal or is it some kind of a contamination any help would be appreciated I personally have
I just started this meditation 3 weeks ago so far so good my sugar levels are dropping and no metformin yay 😀 if I loose any weight it will be a bonus I’m currently on 2.5 has anyone dropped weight on this mg ?
Pretty much the post title. For those taking a GLP-1 medication, especially those who are well controlled, has taking a GLP-1 allowed you to feel less paranoid about what you eat? For context, Dx T2 last year with A1C of 7.1, potential LADA dx in Feb (C peptide is solidly normal). 1000mg of metformi
