what would you tell week-1 you about glycaemic control
Trying to settle this properly because the thread from last year went in circles.
The claim: CGM matters. The counter-claim: it is measurement error. Both sides have been asserting it confidently for about 11 months without either producing anything.
What would actually settle it is 23 people measuring the same thing the same way. I have started; my numbers are below. They lean one way but not strongly enough for me to declare victory.

Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 22–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.
the weight-loss conversation drowns out glycaemic control sometimes
the 38 A1c trend is the answer
hypoglycaemia risk when stacked with metformin
Small correction: the trial was 20 weeks, not 5. Does not change your point but people will quote it.
