[Question] how do you actually verify ALT
Trying to settle this properly because the thread from last year went in circles. The claim: bloodwork matters. The counter-claim: it is measurement error. Both sides…
u/thyroid_tangent
Your TSH is probably fine. Get it checked anyway if you are symptomatic.

comment on reading Zepbound threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/tirzepatide · 51 points · 1 year ago
Titration speed is a side-effect dial far more than an efficacy dial.
comment on tried PeptideMeter for 11 weeks. here is what happened. in c/labresults · 47 points · 1 year ago
MKM / BPC / batch 10 / PeptideMeter / 98.7% — that is the shape

ApoB over LDL-C, that is the hierarchy

Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.
comment on why does nobody talk about Mounjaro in c/tirzepatide · 51 points · 1 year ago
How long at each step before you escalated?
Disagree on that part. 98.7% and 98.1% on the same vial is normal.
comment on the ALT thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down in c/bloodwork · 15 points · 1 year ago
ALT is where the fatty-liver story shows up first
comment on what changed for me between week 35 and week 78 in c/tirzepatide · 116 points · 1 year ago
I am going to push back on this slightly.
comment on [Vendor] WXT order #21 — France, 39 days, no drama, receipts inside in c/labresults · 134 points · 1 year ago
Yeah, the Medutest number matching the claim is the actual signal.
comment on someone explain goal to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/progresspics · 1 points · 1 year ago
Yeah, text-only removes the comparison.

good post. terrible flair.
comment on switched from 2.5mg to 2.4mg and the reflux got better, not worse in c/bloodwork · 113 points · 1 year ago
This is correct. ApoB is the better marker.
comment on anyone else notice SURMOUNT kicking in around week 80 in c/tirzepatide · 1 points · 1 year ago
SURMOUNT data is messier than STEP data but the weight loss is there
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
-64
dual agonist: what the trials say vs what this community says
Right, the Mounjaro question again, but with numbers this time. I have 12 data points over 26 weeks. The pattern is consistent enough that I do not think it is chance,…
comment on [Results] 62 weeks, 41kg, and batch was the hard part in c/labresults · 0 points · 1 year ago
The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.
comment on small win: Mounjaro stopped being a problem at week 50 in c/tirzepatide · 34 points · 1 year ago
Slight fix: the number was 99.1, not 99.1. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.
comment on why does nobody talk about lipids in c/bloodwork · 50 points · 1 year ago
ApoB over LDL-C, that is the hierarchy
comment on help me understand ferritin, I have read the wiki twice in c/bloodwork · 206 points · 1 year ago
Yeah, baseline matters more than any later number.
comment on stalled for 13 weeks at 2.4mg and I refuse to panic this time in c/bloodwork · 40 points · 2 years ago
baseline is the most important bloodwork measurement, you cannot collect it later
comment on three years of Mounjaro threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/tirzepatide · 127 points · 2 years ago
the GIP side does different things than the GLP-1 side, that is the point
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 67 weeks to accept.
