Diabetes Overview

Diabetes, also known as diabetes mellitus, is a group of common endocrine diseases characterized by sustained high blood sugar levels. Diabetes is due to either the pancreas not producing enough of the hormone insulin, or the cells of the body becoming unresponsive to insulin's effects. Classic symptoms include polydipsia (excessive thirst), polyuria (excessive urination), polyphagia (excessive hunger), weight loss, and blurred vision. If left untreated, the disease can lead to various health...

Wegovy increase from .5mg to 1mg

My gastric side effects increased dramatically from .5 to 1mg. Nausea and constipation are my main symptoms. Anyone else have this issue? Will the next increase be worse?

Wegovy and Skin Sensitivity

Has anyone experienced skin sensitivity while on Wegovy? My skin feels like I have a sunburn. It's not hot, but feels real tight and hurts when touched or clothing moves or anything. No rash. Wegovy is the only new thing but it didn't happen til I had been taking it for 6 or 7 weeks. ## Yes! I am experiencing this also. Skin feels so sensitive, burning, sore to touch, clothes and touch uncomfortable. Did not start until higher dosages. ## I can't find anything listing this as a known side effect. Are either of you on any other medications? Have you consulted your respective doctors? The FDA lists the typical Wegovy side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, bloating, and heartburn. Ref: Wegovy Information ## I am not taking any other medications. I did f...

Ozempic Forum

I have been on Ozempic now for 5 weeks. I started at the .25mg and after two weeks, upped it to the 0.5mg. I have never felt so dang good! I'm 53, post-meno, non-diabetic, 5'4", and SW was 264. My current weight, after just one month was down 19lbs! Now I'm down 21lbs! I'd love to finally be 165lbs or so again. I haven't been that small since I was about 11 years old. Ozempic has saved me! I can't believe it. I actually look forward to the injection every week. I only had nausea for a little bit the day after I started. And since, then, it's been great! No diarrhea, no nausea, just boundless energy. And not just that, but it's done something to my brain! I have this amazing sense of optimism, and positivity. I feel hopeful again! I feel like I AM goin...

Mounjaro injection mistake

My wife just accidentally injected her thumb. She called her pharmacist, who told her to call Monjaro, who told her this has never happened before, and had no advice. What should we do? Other than hanging around ER.

Mounjaro Side Effects

This is my 4th month on Mounjaro and my 1st month on the 7.5 mg. My A1C is 5.7, down from 10. It is working great but the side effects from the 7.5 mg are rough. Extreme nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. My doctor wants me to increase to 10 mg but I can barely handle the 7.5 mg. Has anyone else experienced these side effects and do they eventually go away? ## I am just ending the 7.5mg injections as well and the side effects (nausea, vomiting, and extreme diarrhea) have me basically incapacitated! I’m down only 14 lbs (thought I would have been down more by now). I don’t think I can continue with a higher dosage. ## This is my first month (2nd week) taking 5mg of Mounjaro. Still nauseous on day 4, but better than days 1-3. My main concern is some itching in my mouth. No swellin...

Jardiance Reviews

Well, I have been on Jardiance for 4 months now. I have lost 42 pounds. I have reduced meds. But I have to say, I am peeing every hour, and am fairly incontinent. I also have a funny ashy taste in my mouth. Is there anybody else out there on this stuff? ## Hello, Rebecca! How are you? I'm sorry about the side effects that you're experiencing. As listed by the FDA, Jardiance is used to treat type 2 diabetes and help boost weight loss. The increased urination is normal, that's how the medication eliminated the excess sugars from the body, other side effects may include nausea, hypotension, UTIs and hypoglycemia. What dosage are you on? You may need an adjustment, if it's pushing you to the point where you are experiencing incontinence. ## I go back to the doctor next week....

Brand New Wegovy User

My first injection was this past Thursday (3 days ago). And I’m on Weight Watchers. Can I expect a more than normal weight loss this first week on Wegovy (0.25 mg)? And please share your weight losses and how many pounds you’ve lost so far on this product. Thank you in advance. ## I'm about to start my first dose of Wegovy 2.5 and I was wondering how it will affect me? What was the first month like for you?

Mounjaro swollen throat

I have been on Mounjaro for about six months. I culminated at 10mg per week, then due to severe constipation and swollen lymph nodes and a swollen throat with difficulty swallowing I have quit. I have been off for about a week and a half, and the symptoms aren’t subsiding.
