followup-
my 2nd sensor fell-off before after like 5-6 days. Not sure if i bumped it, but basically fell off when changing my shirt.
Never got my replacement, they said was in a few days, and still have not got it.
Basically i am done with the sensor, if i am having issues thus far.
I think i can try to manage on what i learned so far
The 2nd sensor seemed to have a lower range, basically stay in the 150-180 ranges most times until i ate something and it go around 200-220 and not touch the alarm(250)


As for the metformin-- i finally got on Mounjaro!!! It the 2nd week now.
Only 1 shot per week. Simple and easy and painfree. Barely notice the needle at all. 5 seconds and done. 2 simple clicks. Easy.
Much better than the metformin!! I go back in July for test again to see how it does.

That sucks about the sensors. I haven't had a problem with mine luckily.

Hope the Mounjaro works great for you and best of luck on your next appointment.

i just read up on some articles on this.....it will use a light laser.
I have seen some of these cheap watches on Ebay.
Apple already had O2 and heart rate..guess it dpends how accurate it it really?
I read that the watch usually stays around the same price range when they come out- which is 400$
Shi* i just learned how to set my voice mail on my iphone. Another gadget

Awesome. Have a friend on mounjaro and he likes it also. He has lost close to 100 lbs on it. Says he just doesn't feel hungry and food doesn't taste good anymore.
