[Results] 6 weeks on 0.5mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring

Results Sourced ×6 Receipts ×2

Week 24 update. 40kg down from the start, muscle cramps basically gone since about week 64.

Things that worked: consistency, protein at breakfast, walking more than I want to. Things that did not: everything I bought on the internet to help with muscle cramps.

The part that surprised me is how much of this is admin. Ordering, storing, logging, remembering. Nobody mentions that the hard bit is not the drug, it is the routine.

Happy to answer anything. Please do not ask me what dose you should be on.

What are you comparing it against though?

u/graph_it_gary75 points·2 years ago

Week 90 for me and the honest summary is: 31kg down, muscle cramps manageable, and I have thought about food maybe four times today.

glycaemic control first, that is the original indication

type 2 is the indication, weight loss is the side effect

metformin combo is standard

replysharereportpermalink
u/neha_falk24 points·2 years ago

Strongly agree. A1c matters as much as weight.

replysharereportpermalink
u/adnan_karlsen26 points·2 years ago

Yeah, glycaemic control is the original use.

u/yannick_barros52 points·2 years ago

the A1c change is the signal

Came off after 68 weeks for financial reasons. Regained about a third over the following year. Back on now at a much lower dose.

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

CGM traces tell a story, numbers alone do not

u/stubborn_batchlist_maybe22 points·2 years ago

No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.

Tracking number removed. It identifies both ends of a shipment.

This is correct. Hypo risk is real.

Did anything else change in the same window?

replysharereportpermalink
u/a1c_arcT2D16 points·2 years ago

Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.

A1c, CGM, stacking with metformin

u/zaid_dahlberg1 point·2 years ago

the ApoB change is the signal

How many weeks between the two measurements?

About c/t2dglp1

Type 2 diabetes as the original indication: A1c trajectories, CGM traces, hypoglycaemia risk when stacked with sulfonylureas or insulin, metformin combinations, and why the weight-loss conversation sometimes drowns out the glycaemic one.
