comment on small win: Ozempic stopped being a problem at week 70 in c/semaglutide · 457 points · 1 year ago
the 2.4mg dose is not the target, it is just what the pen goes up to
comment on genuine question about external review that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/insurancefights · 91 points · 2 years ago
Denied for prior auth, resubmitted with step therapy documentation, approved on appeal.
Disagree on that part. 97.9% and 97.6% on the same vial is normal.

do not suggest misrepresenting a diagnosis, that is fraud
comment on [Discussion] the 2.4mg advice in here is 17 years out of date in c/semaglutide · 28 points · 2 years ago
Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.
comment on anyone else notice waist kicking in around week 50 in c/dosinglogs · 1 points · 2 years ago
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.
comment on week 36 check-in — 27kg down, sulphur burps manageable, one thing confusing me in c/semaglutide · 31 points · 2 years ago
my eGFR moved before the scale did and i nearly missed it

week 16 and i am still not at maintenance, do not rush the ladder

Went up because the scale stalled, not because I needed to. Do not be me. The stall broke on its own at the higher dose.
comment on plateau vs titration — genuinely asking which matters more in c/semaglutide · 1 points · 2 years ago
Strongly agree.
Disagree on that part. 97.4% and 96.2% on the same vial is normal.
comment on small win: step therapy stopped being a problem at week 35 in c/insurancefights · 174 points · 2 years ago
I am going to push back on this slightly.
comment on my ALT moved and I cannot work out whether step therapy is why in c/insurancefights · 320 points · 2 years ago
Did you get step therapy or outright denial?
comment on [Results] 51 weeks on 0.25mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring in c/semaglutide · 451 points · 2 years ago
Hard agree. Week 8 me needed this. Week 86 me is nodding smugly.
comment on [Lab] SSA sema — Medutest came back 97.4% against a claimed 96.2% in c/semaglutide · 30 points · 2 years ago
My sulphur burps was worst at 7.5mg and better at 1.0mg, which makes no sense and I have stopped trying to explain it.
comment on formulary is the most under-discussed thing in c/cagrilintide in c/insurancefights · 0 points · 2 years ago
the carve-out clause varies by employer
