comment on [Question] England vs Scotland pathways — genuinely different, right in c/glp1uk · 47 points · 5 days ago
This is correct. Private and NHS pathways are different.
comment on [Trial Data] TRIUMPH timeline — what we actually know vs what gets repeated in c/retatrutide · 433 points · 6 days ago
This is correct. Triple agonism is genuinely different.
comment on [NHS] specialist service discharged me at goal and my GP will not continue it in c/glp1uk · 1 points · 6 days ago
Boots stock check: called 3 locations in France, 5 had 0.25mg in stock. Regional variation is real.
comment on [PSA] 0.25 for four weeks is not a suggestion, it is the whole plan in c/semaglutide · 12 points · 7 days ago
the 2.4mg dose is not the target, it is just what the pen goes up to

Maintenance for 5 months now. Weight moves within about 3kg and the dose is a quarter of what it peaked at.
comment on [Caution] "just start at 2mg" is the worst advice in this community in c/retatrutide · 8 points · 14 days ago
Every time this gets posted it hits the front page and every time someone has to re-explain it.

NHS or private?
comment on reading pricing threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/glp1uk · 9 points · 1 months ago
Yeah, the NHS waitlist is genuinely two years in most places.
comment on STEP 1 was -14.9% average and i keep having to remind myself average means average in c/semaglutide · 96 points · 1 months ago
I am going to push back on this slightly.
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
comment on stalled for 5 weeks at 2.5mg and I refuse to panic this time in c/cagrilintide · 1 points · 1 months ago
Small correction: the trial was 14 weeks, not 38. Does not change your point but people will quote it.
comment on help me understand NHS, I have read the wiki twice in c/glp1uk · 1 points · 2 months ago
