Mournjaro injection

Today I consulted for weight loss . The doctor suggested me to go for mournjaro injection for 6 months. I am not sure how safe it is to take these injections since I don't know it's short term and long term side effects. Will it be fine to go for these injection and what is the probability that weight gain may not occur Again. Please advise.

HOMA-IR 6.4 at 29 — metformin needed?

29M, 98kg, 178cm (BMI 31). Fasting labs 22/06/2026. Fasting Glucose: 93 (normal) HbA1c: 5.7% (borderline) Fasting Insulin: 54 mIU/L (high, ref 2.6-24.9) HOMA-IR: 6.4 (high, ref 0.7-2.0) ALT 64, GGT 98 ( fatty liver), Vit D 16 (deficient). Hypertension on Cilnidipine. No diabetes. Endocrinologist advised only weight loss and vitamin D. But my HOMA-IR is 3x the upper limit. Should I be on metformin at this stage to address insulin resistance and protect against diabetes, or is weight loss alone the right approach? Also open to GLP-1 if appropriate given BMI 31.

Pictutary microadenoma

My prolactins level were high and doctor suggested MRI These are the findings "There is an ovoid nodule measuring 6.6 x 8.8 x 5.7 mm (AP x TR x CC) seen in pituitary gland on left side, which appears isointense on T1, heterogeneously hyperintense on T2, hypoenhancing on early phase of dynamic contrast images and intense homogeneous contrast enhancement on delayed images of dynamic study. Pituitary stalk is deviated towards right side. Imaging findings are suggestive of pituitary microadenoma. Serum prolactin estimation is suggested." I am very worried, what does it mean ?
