stalled for 7 weeks at 0.25mg and I refuse to panic this time
Confession thread, sort of. I went from 0.5mg to 12.5mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 22 weeks later, at which point I had no way of knowing whether the dose increase did anything or whether it would have broken anyway. So now I have muscle…
This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
the A1c change is the signal
Did anything else change in the same window?
Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with hypoglycaemia, not with what you concluded.
Came off after 42 weeks for financial reasons. Regained about a third over the following year. Back on now at a much lower dose.
Slight fix: the number was 98.7, not 98.3. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.
