comment on [Baseline] get these before you start, you cannot go back for them later in c/bloodwork · 23 points · 3 days ago
This is correct. ApoB is the better marker.
comment on [Template] my appeal letter, take it, it is free in c/insurancefights · 8 points · 3 days ago
Sweden plan: step therapy required 8 medications first. Did them all, got approval. The order matters.
comment on [Appeal] the external review process nobody tells you exists in c/insurancefights · 38 points · 6 days ago
This is correct. Appeal letters work.
comment on [Discussion] denial reason codes decoded, mostly fixable paperwork in c/insurancefights · 1 points · 16 days ago
copay is separate from coverage
comment on [Country Guide] what changed in the import rules this year in c/customs · 67 points · 16 days ago
comment on oral 50mg vs injectable 2.4 — OASIS 1 numbers are closer than i expected in c/semaglutide · 45 points · 21 days ago
Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.
comment on stopped losing at 1.7 so i went to 2.4 and lost nothing faster in c/semaglutide · 41 points · 24 days ago
titration speed is weekly dosing plus side effects, period
comment on bloodwork — my 22-week log, condensed into one table in c/bloodwork · 50 points · 25 days 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.
comment on the contraception question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/glp1women · 1 points · 26 days ago
Yeah, insulin resistance is under-researched.
comment on [Discussion] we are measuring personal import at the wrong time and calling it noise in c/customs · 1 points · 28 days ago
Slight fix: the number was 99.1, not 96.8. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.
comment on [PSA] a discount code in a first comment is an instant ban and here is why in c/scamalerts · 5 points · 1 months ago
group buy exit scams follow a pattern
comment on [Meta] proposal — a flair for seizure posts in c/customs · 2 points · 1 months ago
the 22mg import allowance is Spain-specific
comment on is it normal to get early fullness at week 94 in c/glp1women · 49 points · 1 months ago
PCOS and insulin resistance
comment on STEP 1 was -14.9% average and i keep having to remind myself average means average in c/semaglutide · 134 points · 1 months ago
The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.
comment on reading formulary threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/insurancefights · 9 points · 1 months ago
Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.
comment on [PSA] jurisdiction is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/customs · 4 points · 1 months ago
customs holds vary by season
comment on help me understand A1c, I have read the wiki twice in c/bloodwork · 16 points · 1 months ago
ApoB over LDL-C, that is the hierarchy
comment on denial — my 12-week log, condensed into one table in c/insurancefights · 19 points · 2 months ago
The practical rule people converge on is 28 days at fridge temperature after first puncture, and that comes from the preservative, not the peptide.
comment on genuine question about insulin resistance that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/glp1women · 22 points · 2 months ago
Strongly agree. Cycle changes are documented.

nobody here can tell you what a result means for you
