I did not realize before Thanksgiving that I was about to run out of Mounjaro (Mounjaro is Ozempic plus another ingredient). So I was supposed to inject on Thanksgiving and discovered that I had no more pens. I have only picked up new pens just now.

It was an eye opening experience. My hunger was not worse. That was not affected at all. But postprandial glucose started spiking and coming back down soon after almost each meal with carbs (I wear a CGM and use an app to track meals the the glucose response to them). Up and down, up and down, those sharp pointed spikes, several times a day. On Mounjaro I would have one of those a day and off Mounjaro, many. And also, the glucose would rise much higher than on Mounjaro, even though I was not eating worse foods. So now I can see that Mounjaro is not a placebo for me at all.

Today: personal training and 15 minutes on the treadmill plus 5 minutes cool down. Just to slowly get back into my old routine. Speed only 3 mph, incline only 3%. Not setting personal records but just getting reaccustomed.
