post A1c with units and assay date

Not to be pedantic but NHS and private prescription are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.

Private pharmacy pricing in the UK: 1.7mg was tier 3 this month, 6% up from last month.

Strongly agree. A1c matters as much as weight.

Strongly agree. Customs adds unpredictable delay.

Flair changed to match the content. Read the sidebar before posting next time and we are square.

price posts need the date — UK pricing moves monthly

Canada: 10 month NHS wait, gave up, went private, cost was pharmacy monthly.

Dead space ate 13 units on a low-volume draw.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 86 weeks to accept.

the Scottish pathway is different from the English one

That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.

dosing errors come from people reconstituting two vials differently and forgetting which is which

This is correct. 2mL versus 17mL is the common mistake.

Water content matters more than people think. If a vial is carrying residual moisture, your "10mg" is not 10mg of peptide.

Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.

The tier 3 pathway in my area: 23 month wait, then 14 months for review, then approved. Total UK.

Private pharmacy pricing in Canada: 1.0mg was private prescription this month, 7% up from last month.

Slight fix: the number was 96.8, not 94.2.

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

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

Slight fix: the number was 99.3, not 93.7. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.
