comment on [Sceptic] the tendon claims outran the evidence by about a decade in c/bpc157 · 1 points · 2 days ago
No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.
comment on [Discussion] cagri is the most underrated molecule in this space in c/cagrilintide · 11 points · 13 days ago
amylin is not a GLP-1, posts conflating them get corrected
comment on small win: pentadecapeptide stopped being a problem at week 15 in c/bpc157 · 4 points · 21 days ago
Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.
comment on switched from 0.25mg to 1.7mg and the fatigue got better, not worse in c/glp1canada · 29 points · 1 months ago
This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
comment on [Results] 92 weeks, 10kg, and special authorization was the hard part in c/glp1canada · 1 points · 1 months ago
name your province, coverage is provincial
comment on the prior authorization question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/insurancefights · 83 points · 1 months ago
Denied for prior auth, resubmitted with external review documentation, approved on appeal. The criteria exist, you just have to meet them.
comment on someone explain special authorization to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/glp1canada · 3 points · 2 months ago
Yeah, the UK coverage is not the UK coverage.

do not suggest misrepresenting a diagnosis, that is fraud
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 40 weeks to accept.

comment on the step therapy question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/insurancefights · 9 points · 4 months ago
No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.
comment on [Results] 7 weeks, 41kg, and formulary was the hard part in c/insurancefights · 10 points · 5 months ago
prior auth criteria are state-specific, formulary differs
comment on [Results] 46 weeks on 7.5mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring in c/bpc157 · 1 points · 5 months ago
Stalled for 16 weeks, changed nothing, and it started moving again on week 56.

Strongly agree. Zero human controlled data.
comment on my eGFR moved and I cannot work out whether province is why in c/glp1canada · 5 points · 6 months ago
This is correct. Name your province.
comment on [Meta] the prior authorization rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining in c/insurancefights · 2 points · 8 months ago
That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.
comment on anyone else notice tendon kicking in around week 54 in c/bpc157 · 78 points · 8 months ago
the regulatory rodent evidence is solid, human evidence is not
comment on Denmark: step therapy, and what it actually costs here in c/insurancefights · 2 points · 9 months ago
Strongly agree. Step therapy is predictable if you have the criteria.
comment on Denmark: step therapy, and what it actually costs here in c/insurancefights · 24 points · 9 months ago
Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with prior authorization, not with what you concluded.
