Below is last week's log from today and in reverse order.

22 December 2023, Friday
Blood sugar – 102
5am – BM. Very loose.
No food yet this morning. Here’s the update!

Week 7 update:

Starting blood sugar: 474
Blood sugar high: 119 (Sunday) 1 below my goal for the week’s avg to be under 120
Blood sugar low: 85 (Thursday)
Blood sugar average this week (week 7): 104.6
Blood sugar average last week (week 6): 122.4
Down 17.8 this week. Down 30 over the last two weeks!

Weight this week (Week 7): 178.2 lbs
Weight last week (Week 6): 182.2 lbs - (had gained 2 lbs from the week prior)
Gain/loss this week: -4 lbs

Starting weight (Week 1) 185 lbs (Starting weight on Mounjaro. I had lost 40 lbs on my own since last June). Began Mounjaro for the Type 2 primarily. Losing some lbs would be a bonus.

Sleep – Not as good as the last several week. Not really waking up to use the bathroom. Just find myself awake at 4am some nights. Some nights this was with a bit of an upset stomach. Able to get back to sleep. Had a few mornings of nausea. More than when on the 2.5mg dose. Two mornings woke up with a slight headache. Once I had my first cup of coffee they went away.

Mood – Even though the mild side-effects seemed to be more intense, my mood remains positive. I’m feeling great. This week’s results on my blood sugar was outstanding! I was hoping to get under 110 ASAP. Never thought it would be this week with 104.6!

BMs have been less consistent this week. I’ve noticed more loose stools this week. I have been taking Miralax when I don’t have a BM for longer than a day. Maybe that’s it. I just want to make sure things keep flowing. Got a comment from someone that said her husband came down with Diverticulosis and had many feet of intestine removed. I’m being vigilant in the poop department.

It seems like I have had less of an appetite this week. I’m eating even smaller portions than I ate last week, mostly. I’m also feeling fuller faster and have noticed I’m easily able to stop eating as soon as I get that feeling. That’s different.

This past week was my first dose of Mounjaro at the 5mg dose.
Today I’m injecting another 5mg dose and will update you on the results next Friday.
