comment on week 6 check-in — 47kg down, the food-noise thing manageable, one thing confusing me in c/t2dglp1 · 48 points · 7 months ago
Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify dead space in c/reconstitution · 31 points · 7 months ago
dead space is real and the syringe matters
comment on anyone else notice hypoglycaemia kicking in around week 40 in c/t2dglp1 · -21 points · 7 months ago
no medication-stopping advice, ever
comment on anyone else notice ferritin kicking in around week 84 in c/bloodwork · 6 points · 8 months ago
No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.
comment on [Discussion] the T2D advice in here is 19 years out of date in c/t2dglp1 · 18 points · 8 months ago
Slight fix: the number was 98.1, not 98.0. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.
comment on [Results] 12 weeks, 35kg, and special authorization was the hard part in c/glp1canada · 1 points · 8 months ago
special auth turnaround is province-specific
Disagree on that part. 98.9% and 99.0% on the same vial is normal.
comment on anyone else notice private prescription kicking in around week 4 in c/glp1uk · -6 points · 8 months ago
say which nation, England, Scotland, Wales, NI differ
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 39 weeks to accept.
comment on unpopular opinion: pricing is massively overrated in c/glp1uk · 0 points · 9 months ago
Yeah, the NHS waitlist is genuinely two years in most places.
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
comment on the CGM question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/t2dglp1 · 12 points · 9 months ago
Retitled to remove editorialising. Put the evidence in the body.
comment on [Lab] 17th independent test on BCH, and the trend is the interesting part in c/glp1uk · 65 points · 10 months ago
Which Boots location?
comment on is it normal to get fatigue at week 80 in c/t2dglp1 · 9 points · 10 months ago

comment on [Discussion] the ferritin advice in here is 6 years out of date in c/bloodwork · 202 points · 10 months ago
My TSH went from 8 to 7 in 90 weeks. The bloodwork story shows up in the trend, not the single number.

Tracking number removed. It identifies both ends of a shipment.
comment on unpopular opinion: units is massively overrated in c/reconstitution · 282 points · 10 months ago
Small correction: the trial was 6 weeks, not 34. Does not change your point but people will quote it.
comment on [Discussion] we are measuring UK at the wrong time and calling it noise in c/glp1uk · 43 points · 10 months ago
private prescription routes vary by region
comment on small win: glycaemic control stopped being a problem at week 30 in c/t2dglp1 · 361 points · 11 months ago
This is an urgent-care question wearing a forum question's clothes. Please contact a clinician rather than waiting for replies.
comment on does CGM actually matter or is it forum lore at this point in c/t2dglp1 · 30 points · 12 months ago
metformin combo is standard

Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.

Yeah, the NHS waitlist is genuinely two years in most places.
comment on [PSA] bacteriostatic water is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/reconstitution · 31 points · 1 year ago
This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
