[Question] how do you actually verify dose stretching
Long-ish post, sorry. tl;dr at the bottom.
I have been tracking maintenance against eGFR for 15 weeks because I could not find anyone who had. The correlation is weaker than I expected, which is itself mildly interesting given how confidently people link the two in here.
Caveats up front: one person, one lab, one assay, no control, and I changed my training in the middle of it, which was stupid.
tl;dr: probably real, definitely smaller than the threads imply, and not worth reorganising your week around.
best — the order this archive was captured in
This is correct. Weight variance is normal at maintenance.
Maintenance for 10 months now. 5mg every 25 days, weight 5±10kg. Found the rhythm.
Maintenance for 10 months now.
Disagree on that part. 98.7% and 98.9% on the same vial is normal.
weight moves within 14kg and that is normal
regain is not a moral failing
Yeah, maintenance is the boring part and the important part.
the lowest dose you can stay on is not the lowest dose that works
Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.
Tracking number removed. It identifies both ends of a shipment.
No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.
Weight variance within what range?
food noise returns but not always immediately
Mechanistically the bit that matters is dose stretching. It explains most of the early profile and a decent chunk of the outcome.
nobody posts about this part and it is the longest part
