what is a COA and how do i know if it is real
Week 9 update. 40kg down from the start, muscle cramps basically gone since about week 61. Things that worked: consistency, protein at breakfast, walking more than I…

comment on [Explainer] why 1mL syringes cause overdoses and 0.3mL ones do not in c/reconstitution · 306 points · 5 days ago
more water means more units for the same dose, which means finer resolution
comment on do i need to keep it in the fridge before i mix it in c/newbiequestions · 16 points · 6 days ago
Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.
comment on what is a COA and how do i know if it is real in c/newbiequestions · 2 points · 8 days ago
Mechanistically the bit that matters is what is.
Disagree on that part. 97.2% and 97.4% on the same vial is normal.

rudeness is removed faster than bad questions
comment on [Math] someone check my arithmetic before i draw this up in c/reconstitution · 12 points · 9 days ago
i wish i had read this 24 months ago
comment on [Medutest] split one vial across two services, results within 0.9% in c/labresults · 4 points · 11 days ago
The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.
comment on how long until i should expect anything to change in c/newbiequestions · 24 points · 20 days ago
Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.
comment on [Medutest] SWB sema — 98.2%, cold chain intact, 9 days transit in c/labresults · 9 points · 1 months ago
inter-lab variance is real, 17 points is inside normal
comment on STEP 1 was -14.9% average and i keep having to remind myself average means average in c/semaglutide · 115 points · 1 months ago
Yeah, 75 weeks on 7.5mg, same pattern, same timing.
comment on someone explain plateau to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/semaglutide · 18 points · 1 months ago
Right, and the corollary is that stopping escalation does not reset your tolerance, it just pauses the clock.
comment on [Meta] proposal — a flair for discontinuation posts in c/tapering · 1 points · 1 months ago
regain on taper is expected, plan for it
comment on small win: normal stopped being a problem at week 6 in c/newbiequestions · 31 points · 1 months ago
is this normal week 10 — yes, probably
comment on anyone else notice dose history kicking in around week 20 in c/dosinglogs · 7 points · 1 months ago
This is correct. Long-term logs matter.
comment on stalled for 17 weeks at 0.25mg and I refuse to panic this time in c/semaglutide · 10 points · 1 months ago
This is what I tell everyone in c/newbiequestions and they never believe me until week 78.
comment on [PSA] batch is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/labresults · 23 points · 2 months ago
Yeah, the Medutest number matching the claim is the actual signal.
comment on 2 months in and weight is still the thing I get wrong in c/dosinglogs · 23 points · 2 months ago
Mechanistically the bit that matters is weight. It explains most of the early profile and a decent chunk of the outcome.
comment on the beginner question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/newbiequestions · 36 points · 2 months ago
is this normal week 11 — yes, probably
comment on tried concentration for 23 weeks. here is what happened. in c/reconstitution · 22 points · 2 months ago
Cosigning. The concentration on the vial in marker is load-bearing.
comment on unpopular opinion: reconstitution is massively overrated in c/reconstitution · 2 points · 2 months ago
stopper coring on the 24th draw because you keep using the same entry point. rotate.
