Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with gallbladder, not with what you concluded.

metformin combo is standard

Baseline triglycerides: 98.3. Week 79: 99.1. Same lab, fasted, same time of day. Trend matters.

ferritin tanks quietly on a reduced appetite, check it

ALT is where the fatty-liver story shows up first

My eGFR went from 24 to 6 in 42 weeks. The A1c story shows up in the trend, not the single number.
comment on is it normal to get reflux at week 35 in c/sideeffects · 326 points · 1 year ago
Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.
comment on lyophilised vs stability — genuinely asking which matters more in c/coldchain · 79 points · 1 year ago
excursion claims need a logger trace or a photo at unboxing, not "it felt warm"
Adding to this: lyophilised is doing more work than the comment implies.

What is the PBS status?
comment on the baseline labs thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down in c/bloodwork · 419 points · 2 years ago
eGFR noise on rapid loss is real. 3 week noise, 30 week trend. Do not panic at week 18.

hair loss is real and usually reversible when you stabilize
comment on small win: shortage stopped being a problem at week 71 in c/glp1aus · 66 points · 2 years ago
Stalled for 13 weeks, changed nothing, and it started moving again on week 28.

Maintenance for 11 months now. Weight moves within about 3kg and the dose is a quarter of what it peaked at.
Quick one. Canada here. Australia works very differently where I live than in the threads that dominate the front page, and I keep seeing people confidently given…
comment on import: what the trials say vs what this community says in c/customs · 3 points · 2 years 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 someone explain UK to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/glp1uk · 281 points · 2 years ago
Strongly agree. NHS is region-specific.
comment on ferritin — my 8-week log, condensed into one table in c/bloodwork · 22 points · 2 years ago
Yeah, baseline matters more than any later number.
comment on week 56 check-in — 22kg down, muscle cramps manageable, one thing confusing me in c/bloodwork · 73 points · 2 years ago
The evidence standard in c/vendorvetting gets called too strict about once a month, and every time, the thread ends with the complainant agreeing.
