Here’s my response to a plain (flavor) Hero brand bagel with cream cheese! I forget to take my mounjaro first thing, and didn’t take it until 11:30AM, so this is absolutely doable! (The blip before is coffee.)
I got the Everything flavor. I was so excited that I could maybe have a bagel once a week. I could barely get through half of one it was so bad. I don’t know if you’ve ever been around home beer brewing, but it tasted like the smell of wet brewers yeast.
I had an injection in my hand on Monday at the orthopedist and whoooo boy has it jacked my glucose. He mentioned it could, but not to worry about it if i’m not on insulin (I’m not). I kinda blew it off then but now… It’s a full 20 pts higher than avg even a) hours after eating last and b) having taken my weekly mounjaro injection yesterday. I ate my standard breakfast at 10, there are two distinct peaks for that meal and now, 4 hours later I am still 118.
So… if anyone is thinking about getting these… schedule them right *after* your next a1c lab!
