my A1c moved and I cannot work out whether interval stretching is why
Right, the appetite return question again, but with numbers this time.
I have 23 data points over 36 weeks. The pattern is consistent enough that I do not think it is chance, and boring enough that nobody is going to screenshot it, which is usually a good sign.
The thing I would flag for anyone new: the effect I am describing showed up at week 33, not week 82. People give up long before the interesting part.
Interested in whether this matches other people's logs or whether I am an outlier.
best — the order this archive was captured in
the people who came off and restarted without shame

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
interval stretching versus dose reduction
cite the discontinuation data rather than guessing regain rates
Flair changed to match the content. Read the sidebar before posting next time and we are square.
the 11 week discontinuation arm is the data
This is correct. Discontinuation data is real.
Stalled for 12 weeks, changed nothing, and it started moving again on week 86.
My version of this: I was so worried about the injection that I put it off for eleven days. The injection is the easiest part.
Stalled for 12 weeks, changed nothing, and it started moving again on week 86.
Adding to this: appetite return is doing more work than the comment implies.
That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.
That is net peptide content, not purity.
Disagree on that part. 98.1% and 98.3% on the same vial is normal.
no shaming people who restart
Yeah, regain is not a failure.
Second this question. I have wondered about regain for 18 months and never seen a straight answer.
This is correct. Discontinuation data is real.
STEP 1 and SURMOUNT-4 discontinuation arms show regain
tapering instructions are not welcome here
Water content matters more than people think. If a vial is carrying residual moisture, your "10mg" is not 10mg of peptide.
say how long you were on and at what dose before taper
