Want to share my personal experience related to Mounjaro savings card update since I think it might help others in a similar situation.
I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 277 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 6 months later: I am down 52 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The Mounjaro savings aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
This community helped me every step of the way.

Relevant to Mounjaro savings card update — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:
Key improvements: A1C 7.6% → 5.5%, triglycerides 193 → 93 mg/dL, hsCRP 8.0 → 1.1 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 9 months.
The inflammatory marker drop is what impresses me most. Consistent with the SELECT trial's cardiovascular findings.

Want to share my personal experience related to Mounjaro savings card update since I think it might help others in a similar situation.
I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 249 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 12 months later: I am down 59 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The Mounjaro savings aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
This forum was my go-to resource throughout.

hank_denver — that is really helpful context on Mounjaro savings card. Follow-up question: did you change anything about your diet at the same time?
I am in a similar situation (month 2) and trying to set realistic expectations.
