Hi Mindy, Wonderful seeing you again. Been missing you. I do find it interesting to listen in on your doctor appointment. I think I heard your doctor say that at the 12.5 & 15 mg there isn’t as good blood 🩸 sugar control. Did you understand it that way? I’m T2D so that’s of particular interest to me. I’m having incredible blood 🩸 sugar control. I’m on my 2nd box of 10 mg. Down 62 lbs since July 4th and 98 lbs from my high weight which was about 10 years ago. So, I’m approaching a 100 lbs down. That’s my next goal. You will have to tell us about your trip😊

Hey Sue, I don't know why but YT never sent me notification of this post and I'm just now seeing it. The pharmacy is incorrect. The coupon has two different coverages... one with and one without insurance coverage. If you do not have an approve PA it falls under the "without insurance coverage" portion of the coupon. If the pharmacy refuses to submit it to Lilly for approval, I would switch pharmacies. In regard to switching... the reason I started over on Mounjaro is because I had been off Wegovy for 3 months on the oral Semaglutide compound that I suspected was NOT working for me at all. I was concerned that if I started on a higher dose of Mounjaro I would risk getting side effects. I would suggest you contact Novo-Nordisk directly and let them know what dose of MJ you are on and what dose they would recommend you starting at with Wegovy. They will have the most reliable information in terms of how those two medications should work with one another. On a side note... 1mg does seem a bit high IMO... that is the 3rd of 5 strengths whereas 5mg is the 2nd of 6 strengths... however... I don't know how the doses compare to one another since they are completely different drugs. I loved Wegovy... I never would have stopped taking it if I had been able to afford it (and if the $25 MJ coupon hadn't been an option). I plan to return to taking Semaglutide once my coupon runs out. I had fewer side effects and better weight loss but everyone is different. You won't know until you try... and if your insurance covers it 100% I'd say go for it!
@jenniferkasper4044

If you have been eating that way for quite some time your metabolism is going to need some help to learn how to burn more calories.
