[Discussion] can we stop arguing about T2D until somebody posts a number
Been lurking in c/scamalerts for about 5 months and finally have something worth posting.
Short version: week 95, 2.4mg, and A1c is the bit I still cannot get a straight answer on. I have read the wiki, I have read the last 15 threads, and the answers split roughly down the middle.
What I actually want to know is whether the people saying it does not matter have measured it, or whether it is just repeated confidently. Happy to be told I am overthinking this — I probably am — but I would rather overthink it now than at week 6.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Three years on this site and the questions have not changed at all. Which is depressing or reassuring depending on the day.

Adding to this: glycaemic control is doing more work than the comment implies.
Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.
the weight-loss conversation drowns out glycaemic control sometimes

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.

This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
