While weight-loss drugs and injectables can be an effective short-term strategy, the long-term success and tolerance for side effects of these medications is still being researched.
If you’re a type 2 diabetic looking to lower your A1C and potentially lose weight, Mounjaro could be for you.
Reduce Blood Sugar Levels and Increase Weight Loss
Mounjaro, which is a brand name for tirzepatide, is the very first dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist. Taken once a week, the medication works by increasing the body’s insulin production and reducing the amount of sugar produced by the liver. This effectively reduces blood sugar levels. Additionally, Mounjaro slows down food as it’s processed through the body, which makes you feel full longer and decreases your appetite. This typically leads to reduced caloric intake, which can result in weight loss.
Weight Loss With Mounjaro
Mounjaro is not technically a weight-loss drug, however in clinical studies patients have experienced a significant amount of weight loss. On average, people taking Mounjaro have lost between 12 and 25 pounds. The specific amount of weight lost with Mounjaro will depend on the dosage being taken and the person’s starting body weight. Some patients have lost up to 21% of their body weight.
"Mounjaro has been a game changer for patients with type 2 diabetes. We are seeing excellent results in terms of A1C reduction and as an effective medication for weight loss” says Dr. Marissa Novack, weight loss specialist at New York Bariatric Group.
