[Results] 51 weeks on 2.4mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring
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 17 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.

Strongly agree. A1c matters as much as weight.
Strongly agree.
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 14 weeks to accept.
Strongly agree.
Adding to this: metformin is doing more work than the comment implies.
Came off after 11 weeks for financial reasons. Regained about a third over the following year. Back on now at a much lower dose.
Maintenance for 4 months now. Weight moves within about 3kg and the dose is a quarter of what it peaked at.
Came off after 87 weeks for financial reasons. Regained about a third over the following year. Back on now at a much lower dose.
Yeah, glycaemic control is the original use.
Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.
This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
Rodent data is rodent data. Dose scaling is not linear and the models tell you what to investigate, not what to expect.

Disagree on that part. 94.2% and 95.1% on the same vial is normal.
glycaemic control first, that is the original indication

The thing nobody prepared me for was the quiet. Not the appetite, the quiet. The constant negotiation in my head about food just stopped.
post A1c with units and assay date
Has anyone actually got this in writing, or is it forum lore at this point?

Small correction: the trial was 24 weeks, not 36. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
A1c, CGM, stacking with metformin

CGM traces tell a story, numbers alone do not
the ferritin change is the signal
