comment on [Discussion] the cagrilintide advice in here is 21 years out of date in c/cagrilintide · 25 points · 10 months ago
CagriSema is a fixed combo in trials, not user-mixed
comment on the weekly dosing thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down in c/semaglutide · 517 points · 10 months ago
Went up because the scale stalled, not because I needed to. Do not be me. The stall broke on its own at the higher dose.
comment on [Lab] SGN sema — VendorInvestigate came back 93.7% against a claimed 98.6% in c/bloodwork · 1 points · 11 months ago
Not to be pedantic but ferritin and ApoB are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.
comment on stalled for 9 weeks at 5mg and I refuse to panic this time in c/semaglutide · 409 points · 11 months ago
Rodent data is rodent data. Dose scaling is not linear and the models tell you what to investigate, not what to expect.
comment on [Discussion] the small molecule advice in here is 19 years out of date in c/orforglipron · 7 points · 11 months ago
Which country? Half the answers in this thread only apply in the Netherlands.
comment on ApoB is the most under-discussed thing in c/glp1science in c/bloodwork · 128 points · 11 months ago
baseline is the most important ferritin measurement, you cannot collect it later
comment on [Vendor] QST order #8 — Canada, 7 days, no drama, receipts inside in c/labresults · 12 points · 12 months ago
testing the vendor claim versus testing your actual vial are two different posts
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify ALT in c/bloodwork · 40 points · 1 year ago
Retitled to remove editorialising.
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 57 weeks to accept.
comment on unpopular opinion: orforglipron is massively overrated in c/orforglipron · 73 points · 1 year ago
Strongly agree. The supply impact would be huge.
comment on [Lab] 7th independent test on BCH, and the trend is the interesting part in c/labresults · 31 points · 1 year ago
template required: vendor / product / batch / service / method / result
comment on 7 months in and titration is still the thing I get wrong in c/semaglutide · 73 points · 1 year ago
the 2.4mg dose is not the target, it is just what the pen goes up to
comment on 7 months in and titration is still the thing I get wrong in c/semaglutide · 46 points · 1 year ago
Did you test the vial you received or are we going off the vendor COA?
comment on 7 months in and titration is still the thing I get wrong in c/semaglutide · 293 points · 1 year ago
Kept a public log for 44 weeks. The comments are what kept it going, honestly. Accountability from strangers works.
comment on 7 months in and titration is still the thing I get wrong in c/semaglutide · 67 points · 1 year ago
Did anything else change in the same window? Sleep, protein, steps, anything?
comment on batch: the version I wish someone had shown me in week 1 in c/labresults · 0 points · 1 year ago
multiple batches from SWB show a spread, that is the data
comment on week 51 check-in — 46kg down, early fullness manageable, one thing confusing me in c/orforglipron · 117 points · 1 year ago
This is correct. ATTAIN data is phase 16.
comment on anyone else notice 2.4mg kicking in around week 20 in c/semaglutide · 99 points · 1 year ago
my ApoB moved before the scale did and i nearly missed it
comment on orforglipron vs ATTAIN — genuinely asking which matters more in c/orforglipron · 1 points · 1 year ago
phase 9 data is interesting, phase 8 will tell the real story
comment on eGFR — my 8-week log, condensed into one table in c/bloodwork · 56 points · 1 year ago
Slight fix: the number was 97.6, not 98.0.
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
comment on [Question] Sweden — has anyone got a straight answer on MHRA in c/glp1uk · 10 points · 1 year ago
Which Boots location?
