[Lab] SSA sema — Medutest came back 97.4% against a claimed 96.2%
Long-ish post, sorry. tl;dr at the bottom.
I have been tracking 2.4mg against triglycerides for 21 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
Sweden here. Waited 5 months on an NHS list, gave up, went private, and the cost was half what I expected but the admin was worse.
Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.

pens are overpriced, research vials are research grade, same molecule different price
the 2.4mg dose is not the target, it is just what the pen goes up to

Disagree on that part. 99.0% and 98.9% on the same vial is normal.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 66 weeks to accept.
nope, 0.25 counts, it is just not the dose most people stay on
Slight fix: the number was 98.7, not 99.3. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.

Adding to this: Ozempic is doing more work than the comment implies.
my eGFR moved before the scale did and i nearly missed it
the quiet is real. the food noise just stops.
What colour is the pen? Wegovy and Ozempic use different formulations.

Cosigning. The slow route gets the outcome, the fast route gets you the side effects.
titration speed is food noise plus side effects, period
Ozempic versus Wegovy versus research grade is the wrong argument, they are literally the same molecule
week 44 and i am still not at maintenance, do not rush the ladder

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
week 32 on the pen, 7kg down, this is the answer
Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.
Every time this gets posted it hits the front page and every time someone has to re-explain it.
My early fullness was worst at 1.7mg and better at 2.4mg, which makes no sense and I have stopped trying to explain it.

My sulphur burps was worst at 7.5mg and better at 1.0mg, which makes no sense and I have stopped trying to explain it.
Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.
This is what I tell everyone in c/newbiequestions and they never believe me until week 44.

stalled at 2.4mg, went up, and regretted it, the stall would have broken anyway
