Monjaro and A1C: A Deeper Dive

by on

 



Hi, 

In my previous post, I discussed the potential benefits of Monjaro for weight management. One of the key factors in assessing the effectiveness of any diabetes medication, including Monjaro, is its impact on A1C levels.

What is A1C?

A1C, or glycated hemoglobin, is a blood test that provides an average measure of your blood sugar levels over the past two to three months. It reflects how well your body is managing blood sugar.

Healthy A1C Levels:

Non-Diabetic: Less than 5.7%

Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4%

Diabetes: 6.5% or higher

Monjaro and A1C:

Monjaro, a medication used for type 2 diabetes and weight management, has been shown to significantly lower A1C levels in clinical trials. By improving blood sugar control, Monjaro can help reduce the risk of long-term complications associated with diabetes, such as heart disease, kidney disease, and nerve damage. 1  


Important Considerations:

Individual Results May Vary: The impact of Monjaro on A1C levels can vary significantly from person to person.

Lifestyle Factors: Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, is crucial for achieving and maintaining optimal A1C levels.

Monitoring: Regular monitoring of A1C levels is essential to track treatment effectiveness and make necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

A good healthy diet combined with daily exercise(hey, I walk 30 minutes every day when I wake up), and with plenty of sleep contributes to your path in reversing diabetes. 

It can be done. 

Stay true to yourself,  follow your doctor’s orders, and when in doubt…ask questions. 

Advocating on behalf of your health is well worth the additional asking of any questions when it means your health and well being. 

Wishing you all the very best, 


-T

Hi, my name is Tommy. Thank you for stopping by my blog. I started this space in the hopes to share my daily journey on all things my health and wellness. You see, I suffered a minor heart attack in the summer of 2024, and that prompted me to make some changes to my day to day lifestyle. So much so that I have dropped around 45 ;pounds thus far an am aiming to lose more! I feel a heck of alot better, my hyper tension is now back under control, and my A1C levels are now at 6, or so, compared to being at a dangerous 8.5. I welcome any suggestions or even ask questions in the space here.

  Embarking on a dietary change can feel like setting sail on uncharted waters.  With countless options available, two popular choices often surface: the ketogenic (keto) diet and the paleo diet.  While both emphasize whole foods and offer potential health benefits, they differ significantly in their approaches. The Paleo Path: Back to Our Roots The paleo diet, often referred to as the “caveman diet,” aims to mimic the eating habits of our hunter-gatherer ancestors. It focuses on whole, unprocessed foods like lean meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Processed foods, grains, legumes, and dairy are generally avoided. The paleo journey often attracts individuals seeking a sustainable, long-term lifestyle change. It promotes a balanced approach to eating, emphasizing nutrient-dense foods and minimizing processed ingredients.
