Mounjaro - Week 14- A1C from 10.6 to 5.4 in 3 months.

Please comment if you have any questions or would just like to say hello! I've been using Mounjaro now for 14 weeks. I'm currently on the 5mg dose of this once a week injection. I was prescribed Mounjaro for my out-of-control diabetes. The side-effect of weight loss is a huge bonus for me! I've always been overweight and had all but given up on losing to a healthy level.
