lipids got worse on paper while everything else got better. triglycerides explain it.

Baseline Clean Column ×8

Genuinely asking, not being difficult.

Everyone in c/t2dglp1 repeats that baseline labs is important. I believe it, but I have never seen anyone show why, and when I search I get 5 threads of people agreeing with each other.

Is there a paper? Is there a measurement? Or is this one of those things that is true because it has been repeated since 2023?

I am not trying to be the "source?" guy. I would just like a source.

Every time this gets posted it hits the front page and every time someone has to re-explain it.
