Hola, CoquíPrincess here. I'm a Diabetic Latina working to beat Diabetes. My grandmother died from it, and I refuse to make my family go through what my mother endured because of it. I'm also in perimenopause. My GLP-1 path began at a local medspa in Tampa Bay (please dont judge me 
). Now I realize I got ripped off. He placed the T into 4 insulin syringes that I bring home and keep in the fridge. I've been using T since December. The med spa switched my medication last month, claiming I wasn't responding to T. At 6.75 I had lost only 13lbs, and I'm at the gym 4 days a week for 1 hour doing strength training, plus I walk 1 mile to work and 1 mile back 4 days a week. I use a digital scale to weigh my food in grams. So he chose to move me to R 5mg.
I told him I suspect my fridge might be the problem. We saw it had been sitting at 55° because my meats kept spoiling fast for a few months, and we thought it was just poor quality.
Anyway, I'm in my 3 week on R 5mg, and I feel wiped out ALL THE TIME. I've dropped 5lbs in 3 weeks.
We just replaced the fridge, hoping that was why I wasn't responding to T, because I want to give T another try after my last R shot next week.
Fingers crossed I'm not a non responder

and I figured it was a fluke. But my husband told me this morning that the coils in it keep freezing over, which I hadn’t heard before. It looks like we might have to spend money on yet another one 
. I really can’t deal with this situation again. With the previous fridge running too warm, we ended up throwing out a lot of stuff, including meat and produce. The meat should still be okay, but I can already tell some of the produce has frozen. Massive freaking eye roll. I think I should hold off on placing orders until I sort this out.
