Please help me. Im wondering if anyone has experienced trouble regulating blood sugars on Metformin and Mounjaro.
I am diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic (since Jan 2025). I’m 23 year old female 115lbs.
I tested negative for antibodies (meaning I’m not type 1)
I was tested negative for MODY.
I’ve struggled with anorexia for 6 years. My weight has fluctuated from 150 to 95lbs over those years.
I’m unsure if the stress on my body from under eating has caused my pancreas to develop diabetes.
My A1c was 9.2 last year.
I was put on glimiperide and Metformin but still experienced high blood sugars at night (280+) and lows in the morning when I worked out (40s-60s). I gained 15 lbs (135lbs)
My endo prescribed me short acting insulin but quickly stopped because I experienced frequent lows (~30mg/dL)
I was taken off glimiperide in August and started mounjaro. I’m on 7.5mg weekly since then.
I’ve lost 20 lbs. I’m also a runner. I like to run at high mileage which helps my sugars stay somewhat stable. I want ro gain weight but the Glp1 makes that hard.
I eat a low carb diet with artificial sugars. I eat a high fiber/fat/ and protein diet.
My A1c is 6.5. My C peptide is on the lower-normal end now. My endo says I may be developing type 1.5 diabetes. She put me on long acting insulin nightly before bed.
I’ve experienced lows 20 hrs post-insulin so I’m hesitant to take the long acting insulin regularly.
I’m experiencing overnight highs again- despite the mounjaro and metformin.
I want some help. I know this is a lot of information at once. My doctor doesn’t seem to care much. Every time we meet she just increases or adds a medication.
Has anyone experienced a similar situation?
