I was on GLP-1 meds for 10 years. I am not diabetic;
however, I did have a gastric bypass in the past I suffered from reactive hypoglycemia (insulin resistant) after the surgery. I also had weight regained after the surgery, which bothered me more. I never went back to the amount of food I would eat in the past.
In the past, if I ate potatoes, rice, sweets, any type of white carbohydrate three hours later my blood sugar would drop to around 40. As long as I was on a GLP-1. Insurance never covered any of my meds. I had to get generic and pay through a pharmacy manufactured these meds as generic.
I’ve been on generic Mongo for about two years. I had to get off of it for financial reasons at one time it was so expensive and then I joined a Pharmacy that would give it to me Terzepadine.
This actually seem to work better than the brand-name Mounjaro. It also came with B12. My weight loss on this medication has been about 70 pounds and I seem to be stabilizing on that however I’m not able to exercise the amount I would like to do to recent replacements Prior to that I could not exercise due to severe joint damage in my knees. I’m hoping that’s gonna change now is good. I did have some hair loss. I’m on biotin multivitamin, vitamin D, and Vitamin C.. My biggest concern is losing my hair. I’m 69 years old, but I would still like to have some hair on the top of my head.
I mean criteria for this medicine to be paid for although I’m not type to diabetic, but I have all the other criteria to be met and I’ll still do not obstruct to sleep apnea hypertension elevated cholesterol period disorder movements at night. So I don’t know what else to do except keep getting it through the Pharmacy but send it to me on my order.

I've never used any of the weight loss shots but I would say do your research and ask your doctor lots of questions and hopefully it will turn out good for you and get good results I've heard good and bad results but everybody's different

I'm on zepbound and I definitely don't feel cravings as much as I used to and I do end up feeling not hungry to the point where SOMETIMES I just don't feel like snacking. Also my energy is through the roof for about the first two and half days after an injection. Thinking about asking my doctor if going up to the next dose my benefit me.
