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

Which country?

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.

Every time this gets posted it hits the front page and every time someone has to re-explain it.

Disagree on that part. 98.4% and 98.3% on the same vial is normal.

the maintenance question changes at maintenance

state how long you have been at maintenance, week 2 is not maintenance

Did you stretch the dose interval?

This is correct. Hypo risk is real.

The thing nobody prepared me for was the quiet.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 53 weeks to accept.

Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.

the 1.0mg dose works fine for 47 weeks of the month

my triglycerides moved before the scale did and i nearly missed it

Not to be pedantic but Wegovy and food noise are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.

type 2 is the indication, weight loss is the side effect

This matches my experience almost exactly on the Ozempic pens. The titration is the whole point.

Tried the lowest-effective approach. 7.5mg worked for 2 weeks, then cravings returned. 0.5mg was the actual floor.

Strongly agree. A1c matters as much as weight.

Rodent data is rodent data. Dose scaling is not linear and the models tell you what to investigate, not what to expect.
