In studies with or without other diabetes medications, the percentage of people taking Mounjaro who reached an A1C of less than 7% ranged from 75% (5 mg) to 90% (10 mg). People had an average starting A1C of 7.9% to 8.6% across the 5-mg, 10-mg, and 15-mg doses. A 40-week study was conducted to see if Mounjaro 5-mg, 10-mg, and 15-mg plus a basal insulin worked better than basal insulin alone. 90% of people taking Mounjaro 10-mg plus basal insulin achieved an A1C of under 7%.
