Obviously the pictures of Kelly Osbourne are both sad and terrifying.

But a few women i know have also used this method for weight loss and their skin has lost elasticity. They look at least 10 years older. Is this side effect being under played?

Curious.

For those that take MJ for diabetes, what dose are they on?

Anyone know.

I'm on mounjaro for diabetes and am on 12.5. HBA1C has dropped from 55 (diabetes) to 35 (normal/healthy) in 14 months.

I have also lost over 7 stone.

Yeah but no one cares about your HBA1C, OP just needs to know if you look old or not 😜

Thank you. And well done! Although totally appreciate you needed it for your diabetes in the first instance..

Take heed the OP's warning re physical aging! (Assume you do count as an ex fatty or maybe you get a pass as having diabetes)

😂😂😂

I was prescribed for T2 diabetes too, HbA1c down from 11% (somewhere in the 90s) to 5.2% (non-diabetic and lost a load of weight. But according to some on this thread I might look a bit older now than I did soooooooo yeah. Oh and BP normal, liver and kidney function normal, thyroid tests normal and cholesterol reduced massively, stopped snoring and sleep improved.

Just goes to show we all have different motivators for weight loss. I'm borderline diabetic, high blood pressure....but the reduced snoring might have swayed me to enquire about mounjaro!
