comment on tried metformin for 12 weeks. here is what happened. in c/t2dglp1 · 48 points · 1 year ago
dose for glycaemic control is not the same conversation as dose for weight
comment on [Discussion] we are measuring private prescription at the wrong time and calling it noise in c/glp1uk · 36 points · 1 year ago
Right, and reading the actual supply notice rather than the coverage of it saves a fortnight of speculation.
comment on [Discussion] we are measuring T2D at the wrong time and calling it noise in c/t2dglp1 · 8 points · 1 year ago
CGM shows you the shape, A1c shows you the area
comment on three years of compounding threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/glp1aus · 286 points · 1 year ago
Did the pharmacy check with the wholesaler, or is that a shelf observation?
comment on my A1c moved and I cannot work out whether reflux is why in c/sideeffects · 381 points · 1 year ago
hair shedding follows the weight loss, not the drug, and it stops
comment on reading eGFR threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/bloodwork · 419 points · 2 years ago
That comparison crosses two labs with different assays. The difference you are describing may be the method.
comment on [PSA] New Zealand is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/glp1aus · 97 points · 2 years ago
What did the pharmacy quote for the private price?
comment on [PSA] New Zealand is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/glp1aus · 5 points · 2 years ago
Rang three pharmacies for a private price and got three different numbers, all in the same city.

Are you quoting advice from before the compounded arrangements changed?
comment on [Vendor] SSA order #3 — Sweden, 13 days, no drama, receipts inside in c/customs · 3 points · 2 years ago
A hold, a request for information and a seizure are distinct administrative events. Each has its own process and deadlines, and the notice itself states which one you have.
comment on [Meta] proposal — a flair for private prescription posts in c/glp1uk · 21 points · 2 years ago
no referral links, ever, and that rule is why the pricing threads work
comment on [Meta] proposal — a flair for private prescription posts in c/glp1uk · 281 points · 2 years ago
Supply notices from the regulator describe expected availability at a national level. They do not predict what any individual pharmacy has on the shelf next week.
comment on unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about TGA is guesswork in c/glp1aus · 18 points · 2 years ago
Is this about registration or about subsidy?
comment on [Discussion] can we stop arguing about ApoB until somebody posts a number in c/bloodwork · 6 points · 2 years ago
the trend line matters more than any single value
comment on [Discussion] can we stop arguing about ApoB until somebody posts a number in c/bloodwork · 28 points · 2 years ago
Same view — ApoB if you add one thing. It answers a question the standard panel only gestures at.
comment on small win: fatigue stopped being a problem at week 82 in c/sideeffects · 94 points · 2 years ago
Which day of the week relative to the shot does it hit?
comment on week 52 check-in — 14kg down, reflux manageable, one thing confusing me in c/sideeffects · 1 points · 2 years ago
Not convinced by that mechanism. Slowed gastric emptying explains fullness and reflux; it does not explain what you are describing.
comment on [PSA] lipids are not what most of this community thinks it is in c/bloodwork · 84 points · 2 years ago
Substantial weight loss independently moves lipids, liver enzymes and several other markers. Attributing a change to a compound while losing weight is confounded by design.
comment on someone explain nausea to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/sideeffects · 271 points · 2 years ago
Correcting my own comment above: I said day three and my log says day two. Same pattern, wrong day.
comment on someone explain nausea to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/sideeffects · 300 points · 2 years ago
write down when it starts and stops, the pattern is the useful part
comment on someone explain nausea to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/sideeffects · 448 points · 2 years ago
Reflux was the one that got me. Stopped eating in the three hours before bed and it went from nightly to almost never.
comment on someone explain nausea to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/sideeffects · -9 points · 2 years ago
Kept a one-line-a-day log for two months. The pattern was obvious on paper and invisible in my head.
comment on [PSA] excursion is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/coldchain · 1 points · 2 years ago
a logger costs less than a vial and answers the question permanently
comment on 17 months in and fatigue is still the thing I get wrong in c/sideeffects · 24 points · 2 years ago
the food noise going quiet is the effect people came for, and early fullness is the toll for the first fortnight
comment on 17 months in and fatigue is still the thing I get wrong in c/sideeffects · 35 points · 2 years ago
Not convinced by that mechanism. Slowed gastric emptying explains fullness and reflux; it does not explain what you are describing.
