Want MMP prices and 25 quid?
Seen the new prices from MMP? Well Oxford Online Pharmacy will price match it! And we both get 25 quid credit.
Please paste my code in the ‘Friend Referral’ box if you decide to give them a go, then we both get the credit to our accounts. Code: 85D50DA42192 :-)
For the price match you have to buy from Oxford and then apply for the rebate.
But they are aware of the new standard price from MMP and are authorising the rebates.
Just send a picture of the MMP website showing the price.
Tired of endless eligibility questionnaires every month? Wanna just find a good price matching supplier and stick? Read on….

£25 account credit AFTER your first successful order over £50 site wide with my friend code. (I also get 25 credit to use)
They offer a lowest price guarantee, if the same treatment (Retail Price) is cheaper elsewhere they will refund the difference.
If you have a Defence Discount or Blue Light Card they run offers EVERY single month, usually 20% off.
They also run offers on some other Workplace/Banking/Insurance discount schemes, so do check any you have.
When you consider postage etc my calculation suggest this makes them easily the cheapest repeat order supplier on Monj outside one-off first time deals; and even then they are within a tenner or so!
Example. The Numan 100 off makes 12.5mg £236, and the pharmacy2U 75 quid off is £220 including postage. I just paid £235 Guaranteed next day tracked with my on-going DDS Discount. No eligibility fuss, no will they won’t they, just a good price each and every month.
I have had a fantastic experience so far, they are clinician lead and all treatment is monitored by GMC Doctors. A family business since 1925 their communication is excellent on email and phone and they are quick to help and guide you through any issues.
Sign up is straight forward and inline with current requirements, and they are one of the few pharmacies to have fully passed the new CQC standards for online and digital care.
Deliveries are prompt, tracked, and packed in wool fibre and frozen gel packs.
Unless you order extras you get 6 needles and 6 swabs in the pack.
I am NOT in anyway affiliated with this company, but I have tried many suppliers on my journey and do like to spread the word about good ones when I find them.
Doubt I will be moving anytime soon unless there is an absolutely ridiculous offer somewhere saving me 20/30 quid plus on Oxfords pricing. I value service as much as cost for things related to my health. And even then if the offer elsewhere is a one off as they usually are, I would be straight back to Oxford.
Please paste my code in the ‘Friend Referral’ box if you decide to give them a go, then we both get the credit to our accounts. Code: 85D50DA42192

I just had it confirmed from the pharmacy that you CAN use referral credit WITH discount codes.
So get this credit with me and apply a discount code on your next order and Oxford Online are far and away the cheapest currently available for that pen. The 20% plus 25 credit would make a 12.5mg pen 200 quid!
You can then get some friend referrals to use for future orders. :-)
Further Update:
Oxford are happy to continue treatment in maintenance no matter what your BMI is, and so long as you have no treatment gaps. :-)
UK supplier MMP price drop, discount suspension, and price matching.
Hi.
So, we are all aware of the price drop from MMP in the UK which although not back to the good old days, is welcome relief non the less.
I did all the pre screen with them and got to the payment page when I just thought I would ask my current supplier if they are reviewing their prices in light of MMP dropping theirs.
They aren’t, and don’t plan to.
But they did tell me they would price match.
Because I like them, and get a monthly 20% off anyway via my BlueLight card, I ordered from them again and submitted my price match request.
It’s all been confirmed today with no hassle, and I got the match against the MMP price with the new user discount as I took a screen shot before they removed it! 😬
Refund of the difference is already in my bank.
So my new 15 pen has just cost 214 👍
So I wonder if some pharmacy’s won’t necessarily drop their prices, but will price match if asked? 🤔
I also spoke to MMP who have confirmed that owing to the price drop, any and all discounts are now suspended indefinitely.
Ta,
Ed.

First time for everything 🙄
Been at this a while. Got a pretty good routine that I enjoy and actually look forward to Boost Day.
First issue today seemingly.
Did everything as normal jabbed, pressed (Got to 0), counted, removed.
And for the first time for me, got a fairly big spurt of liquid out the needle. About a 2 click primes worth I reckon.
🤬
I’m annoyed, I know it’s quite common, I know it’s just back pressure, and I know my dose is fine. But so much of this is mental as well as the effects of the drug it just puts me about.
*Sigh*
I’m at the end of this pen with only half a dose left for next week, so at least I get to do 2 jabs next week anyway. So if it did happen again I would have the mental angle of ‘topping up’ anyway.

The rise of ‘official’ off-label use.
This stuff fascinates me. Just watched a 50 minute video on YouTube with a Dr from a clinic in the US, Belle Health.
https://www.youtube.com/live/GMRFll9vXmA?si=yIs0gBGUR2qGS5Py
They, and many other private clinics in the US, and increasingly the UK are actively now encouraging and supporting ‘Off-Label’ use. Whether that’s split or multi dosing, micro dosing, or dosing above 15mg. They seem to be seeing remarkable results in some cases with breaking plateaus, maintenance post weight loss (1 jab a month!), and the treatment and management of other conditions outside Diabetes and Obesity; most notably Menopause, Perimenopause, pain and inflammation.
The Dr here talks about super micro dosing for the symptoms of Menopause and Perimenopause, split dosing which he himself does to maintain serum steady state, and briefly, taking people beyond 15mg.
I found 1 article about this in the UK as well.
(It’s a year old, so apologies if already posted.)
Seems like everyday these drugs are being found to do so much more, and there are current studies around severe migraines, post-op and trauma pain and inflammation management, juvenile ADHD, and many many more.
Science still doesn’t fully understand the full capability (And risks) of Aspirin, and that’s 125 years old!
How much more is there to come with these drugs and the next gen stuff in trials?
It genuinely blows my mind.

As an engineer I like to know how stuff works, so the pens intrigued me.
So I’ve taken 5 apart to see, and they are quite clever!
What is clear is they cannot and do not ‘count clicks’.
Pic 1 is all the parts. As suspected there is a glass vial inside the main barrel of the pen.
Pics 2 and 3 are like a double slip clutch mechanism and this is how the pen stops turning when the maximum deflection or travel of the plunger is reached.
The 2 black bits are the same, even though the one inside the dose twister looks different in the picture.
They slot together when this mechanism is all together as in pic 6.
If you look at pic 4 you can see the threaded plunger rod and the squared off bit at the end. This same squared off bit is also present at the other end of the rod.
When you turn the dose twister the 2 black slip clutches engage with each other in the white plastic part inside the main body of the pen handle and turn around the plunger rod which is held firm by a locking system in the main body of the pen that I haven’t got to yet. The black half of the clutch part in the twister turns as you twist
When you the press the purple nob as you inject, the top part of the clutch locks so it doesn’t turn, this then locks the lower part which presses the rod down into the pen.
In pic 4 you can see the threaded plunger rod with the squared off ends. As you use the pen, once you twist it up to the squared bit it can’t move any further unless forced.
This is what locks the pen.
You can see in pic 5 what happens when you force it past the lock. A bit breaks off.
This means we were able to advance the twister further up the rod and get the extra travel on the plunger required to get the extra dose. But this was in no way measured or accurate. Just that the difference wasn’t really an issue.
The new pens are exactly the same with the simple addition of the spacer as seen in pic 7. You can just see that this spacer is 1 dose in size, thereby extending the effective travel of the plunger and eliminating the extra dose.
And that’s it. Very simple yet clever and accurate. Got hold of a Lilly insulin pen and took that apart as well and they are the same with the only difference being the plunger rod is black and longer so it goes all the way to the end of the vial.

Back from hols….. :-/
Just back from a week away travelling around Norfolk and South Wales (Random I know….)
Weighed myself this morning first morning back.
Scales says I put on 1Kg.
I know it can’t be fat, I continued to track my intake (MyNetDiary) and was in deficit most days. I know it must be some gained water weight and maybe some inflammation from travel etc. For it to be fat I would have had to consume 7,700 calories over maintenance and that simply didn’t happen even allowing for the odd miss log or under calculation.
But it’s just a bit cr@p…..
Oh well, at least I might see a big drop this week back in the routine eh?
Tired of shopping around for every order? Got a DDS or BlueLight? Then read on…..

I am NOT in anyway affiliated with this company, but I have tried many suppliers on my journey and do like to spread the word about good ones when I find them. Doubt I will be moving anytime soon unless there is an absolutely ridiculous offer somewhere saving me 20/30 quid plus on Oxfords pricing. I value service as much as cost for things related to my health.
Please paste my code in the ‘Friend Referral’ box if you decide to give them a go, then we both get the credit to our accounts. Code: 85D50DA42192

I just had it confirmed from the pharmacy that you CAN use referral credit WITH discount codes.
So get this credit with me and apply a discount code on your next order and Oxford Online are far and away the cheapest currently available for that pen. The 20% plus 25 credit would make a 12.5mg pen 200 quid!
You can then get some friend referrals to use for future orders. :-)
