GLP-1 And Other medications plus Specialist Doc

Posted by bohaiboy @bohaiboy, 16 hours ago

Who prescribed your GLP-1 and how closely do they monitor you? I personally feel more comfortable with an Endocrologists than my GP as that is not her specialty and she is slammed with patients.

Has anyone's doctor kept close enough monitoring of other medications they are taking? For instance, I take Jardiance and metformin. Should those be tapered off?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Diabetes & Endocrine System Support Group.

Agreed with having an Endo but let the Endo tell you what to taper off.

I still take metformin. Once your A1C drops, then Endo might suggest to stop Jardiance. The weightloss meds don’t always work. I tried Ozempic but switched to Mounjaro. Jardiance does 2 things, it manages sugar and protects your heart.
