How many drugs is too many drugs?

I am type 2, and my A1C was also past 10. For the last year, it has been dropping.
I am on metformin, atorvastatin (preventative), mounjaro and tamoxifen (for cancer)
Once my A1C dropped to less than 8, Jardiance was removed. I had been on Ozempic but moved to Mounjaro, as its more effective and covers the role of lowering A1C and protecting your heart like Jardiance.
Your friend should ask about Mounjaro, then we could also stop Jardiance.

@malebreastcancer47 thanks.
You were on one major diabetes drug, plus metformin, I thought that was generally the practice.
My friend had been on the Ozempic-equivalent pill - which didn't work at all for him and made him feel sick. As soon as he went on the injection - along with the other drugs - his BG and A1C went down dramatically.
I guess we see how he does without the pioglitazone and if that's good, and my guess is it will be, they could try the Jardiance, I'd say that's probably the next most risky. If there's a problem I'll certainly forward your experience that Mounjaro might work better than Ozempic.
Meanwhile I continue to beat on him about the diet! He says he wants to do it, but he doesn't do it. I guess this is pretty common.
