comment on [Question] New Zealand — has anyone got a straight answer on glycaemic control in c/t2dglp1 · 22 points · 5 months ago
Not to be pedantic but glycaemic control and CGM are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.
comment on [Vendor] QST order #10 — Spain, 27 days, no drama, receipts inside in c/tirzepatide · 1 points · 6 months ago
nope, the equivalence to semaglutide is not known, comparing 15mg tirz to 2.4mg sema is guessing
comment on [Discussion] we are measuring 15mg at the wrong time and calling it noise in c/tirzepatide · 199 points · 6 months ago
Water content matters more than people think. If a vial is carrying residual moisture, your "10mg" is not 10mg of peptide.
comment on [Results] 7 weeks, 30kg, and STEP was the hard part in c/trialwatch · 56 points · 7 months ago
Strongly agree. Phase 2 is investigational, not conclusive.
comment on [Discussion] we are measuring waist at the wrong time and calling it noise in c/dosinglogs · 1 points · 7 months ago
Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.
comment on what changed for me between week 80 and week 34 in c/tirzepatide · 4 points · 7 months ago
SURMOUNT data is messier than STEP data but the weight loss is there
comment on USDC — 23 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/cryptopay · 0 points · 7 months ago
Strongly agree. Escrow is non-negotiable for groups.
comment on week 21 check-in — 22kg down, muscle cramps manageable, one thing confusing me in c/dosinglogs · 2 points · 7 months ago
the people still updating at week 19 are the reward

I love that this community will spend 40 comments on a detail. That pedantry is why the numbers here matter.
comment on SURPASS — 5 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/tirzepatide · 15 points · 7 months ago
My ALT moved faster on tirz than on sema at the same timepoint, which matches what people report.
comment on why does nobody talk about tier 3 in c/glp1uk · 16 points · 7 months ago
Yeah, the NHS waitlist is genuinely two years in most places.
comment on [Results] 92 weeks, 15kg, and cold chain was the hard part in c/coldchain · 6 points · 8 months ago
Strongly agree. Peak temperature is not the whole story.
comment on three years of prescription threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/glp1eu · 6 points · 8 months ago
EMA and national agency claims need citation
comment on weekly update — 12 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/dosinglogs · 33 points · 8 months ago
Yeah, the consistency is the value.
comment on [Vendor] QST order #8 — Spain, 33 days, no drama, receipts inside in c/tirzepatide · 57 points · 8 months ago
The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.
comment on is it normal to get muscle cramps at week 39 in c/glp1uk · 25 points · 8 months ago
Boots stock check: called 3 locations in France, 38 had 7.5mg in stock. Regional variation is real.
comment on [Question] SURPASS — what am I missing here in c/tirzepatide · 1 points · 8 months ago
the dual agonism hits different and that is why people describe it differently
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify prescription in c/glp1eu · 110 points · 8 months ago
Maintenance for 7 months now. Weight moves within about 3kg and the dose is a quarter of what it peaked at.
comment on 23 months in and jurisdiction is still the thing I get wrong in c/customs · 128 points · 8 months ago
seizure and reship are different outcomes
