am I the only one who found glycaemic control harder than the injections

Caution Sourced ×5

Quick one. Canada here.

CGM works very differently where I live than in the threads that dominate the front page, and I keep seeing people confidently given advice that simply does not apply outside the US.

Specifics: the route I used took 9 weeks and cost roughly what I expected. The admin was worse than the cost. The thing that would have saved me the most time was knowing which document to ask for at the start.

Happy to answer questions from anyone in the same jurisdiction.

Rodent data is rodent data. Dose scaling is not linear and the models tell you what to investigate, not what to expect.

Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.

Yeah, glycaemic control is the original use.

My version of this: I was so worried about the injection that I put it off for eleven days. The injection is the easiest part.

the weight-loss conversation drowns out glycaemic control sometimes

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

type 2 is the indication, weight loss is the side effect

A1c, CGM, stacking with metformin

insulin and sulfonylurea interactions are real hypo risk

Stalled for 9 weeks, changed nothing, and it started moving again on week 46.

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

Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.

glycaemic control first, that is the original indication

Not to be pedantic but metformin and hypoglycaemia are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.

About c/t2dglp1

Type 2 diabetes as the original indication: A1c trajectories, CGM traces, hypoglycaemia risk when stacked with sulfonylureas or insulin, metformin combinations, and why the weight-loss conversation sometimes drowns out the glycaemic one.
