8 weeks in on 5mg

No loss whatsoever, I am also type 2 Diabetic and going through Peri-menopause. My GG said these are the perfect storm of metabolic and hormonal dramas to have. MJ will be working on my blood sugars (which have barely had a HbA1C over 7). I had a quick google and saw that 5mg Mounjaro is roughly equivalent to 1mg ozempic (I swapped over from this, I did have success on ozempic and then peri hit me and I think that really stuffed everything, but I did stay on the oz.

So, I'm figuring I probably won't see any weight loss until I go up to 7.5?

Not trying to be too disappointed just frustrated, it's been bad enough that peri gave me an extra 20kg in about 8 weeks earlier this year so not only needing to lose that but the previous 30 odd kg that's dragging me down.

Am doing all the right things, exercise, eating well, water, etc etc. (was low carb/keto for a long time) Had all the blood tests done and have some other things going on that shouldn't impact.

Is anyone else in the same diagnosis position as me and seen the scales move only after going above the 5mg dose?
