comment on [Question] Ireland — has anyone got a straight answer on import in c/customs · 3 points · 1 year ago
personal-import allowances differ by country
Disagree on that part. 98.1% and 97.9% on the same vial is normal.
comment on why does nobody talk about ice pack in c/coldchain · 1 points · 1 year ago
Not to be pedantic but packaging and excursion are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.
comment on [PSA] packaging is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/coldchain · 45 points · 1 year ago
This is correct. Dry powder is way more robust than liquid.
comment on reading nausea threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/sideeffects · 40 points · 1 year ago
This is correct. The early fullness is horrible for three weeks and then just ends.
comment on cold chain vs data logger — genuinely asking which matters more in c/coldchain · 0 points · 1 year ago
stability after excursion is not zero, it is dose-dependent
comment on the New Zealand thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down in c/glp1aus · 60 points · 1 year ago
Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points.
Disagree on that part. 99.2% and 99.3% on the same vial is normal.
comment on the New Zealand thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down in c/glp1aus · 6 points · 1 year ago
Strongly agree. AU and NZ differ.

HOMA-IR is crude but free and useful for tracking
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify sulphur burps in c/sideeffects · 129 points · 1 year ago
This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
comment on what would you tell week-1 you about data logger in c/coldchain · 139 points · 1 year ago
I am going to push back on this slightly.

lane reports need origin, destination, carrier, and actual transit days
comment on stalled for 20 weeks at 10mg and I refuse to panic this time in c/bloodwork · 1 points · 1 year ago
TSH from 9 to 22 is movement, not noise
comment on my ferritin moved and I cannot work out whether T2D is why in c/t2dglp1 · 78 points · 1 year ago
Has anyone actually got this in writing, or is it forum lore at this point?
comment on NHS — 21 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/glp1uk · 9 points · 1 year ago
NHS tier 3 is UK, the waiting list is real
comment on A1c: the version I wish someone had shown me in week 1 in c/t2dglp1 · 1 points · 1 year ago
Week 15 for me and the honest summary is: 31kg down, fatigue manageable, and I have thought about food maybe four times today.
comment on what would you tell week-1 you about lipids in c/bloodwork · 13 points · 1 year ago
ferritin tanks quietly on a reduced appetite, check it
comment on genuine question about private prescription that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/glp1uk · 52 points · 1 year ago
the Scottish pathway is different from the English one
comment on [Lab] 2th independent test on QSC, and the trend is the interesting part in c/t2dglp1 · 3 points · 1 year ago
Yeah, glycaemic control is the original use.
comment on stalled for 8 weeks at 2.4mg and I refuse to panic this time in c/sideeffects · 1 points · 1 year ago
Same experience. Week 61 and it simply stopped. I know that is not useful information but it is what happened.
