  • apob_over_ldl — switched from injectable to oral, lost some of the effect, switched back after 16 months, thats just me 19:49
  • area_percent — plain water only, about half a glass, then nothing for 30 minutes. i follow it exactly 19:57

splitting a dose made the absorption problem worse rather than better in my own log

i use it because needles are a genuine problem for me, not because i think its better

slightly off topic but tea also does not count, in case anyone was hoping, thats one data point

NP

absorption is the variable, not the molecule. same tablet, different morning, different result

is the absorption variability why the oral doses look so high
PIONEER was the original oral semaglutide programme and OASIS looked at the higher oral doses

switched from injectable to oral, lost some of the effect, switched back after 16 months, thats just me

The high-dose oral. Absorption rules matter enormously here.

my oral results were inconsistent week to week and i eventually decided it was me, not the tablet

plain water only, about half a glass, then nothing for 30 minutes. i follow it exactly

📈12📉1🤝7

follow up lost 36kg over 12 months on oral, slower than my injectable stretch, i stuck with it anyway

mine was patchy too

how long before the oral did anything measurable for you

sorry to jump in the 30 minutes starts when you swallow it, and i set a timer because i cannot be trusted

did anyone find the oral easier on the gut than the injection

i said 5 months ago that my oral results were random, they got consistent once i fixed the water

SNAC does the work

is the plain water rule actually load bearing or is it a formality
