Gel packs are designed for a duty cycle. A liquid pack at the end of a longer-than-expected transit is a pack behaving as specified, not evidence of an excursion in the vial.

Took a baseline the week before starting purely because this board told me to. Best five minutes I have spent on this.

Disagree with reading anything into that. One value, one morning, and you changed two other things in the same window.

Correction: that marker is reported in different units by different labs, which explains the tenfold difference you are seeing.

A transit temperature logger records a distribution, and time above a threshold matters as much as peak temperature. That is the argument for logging rather than guessing.

Agreed.

Agreed — and standardising the draw conditions is the cheapest improvement available.

GIP receptor biology is genuinely unsettled — there is a live argument about agonism versus antagonism at the receptor — and the clinical results are

nhs_waitlist_n is right that mechanism gives direction and not magnitude. Worth pinning.

That study was in a rodent model. Worth stating, since the thread has been reading it as human data.

albumin binding is most of the half-life story

Careful — you have a plausible mechanism and no evidence that it is the operative one in the case you are describing.

Was there a logger in the box?

What does the discussion section say about the limitation you are glossing?

a warm gel pack tells you the pack failed, not that the material did
