Highlights from this day
- a1c_lag — while im here i stayed on 1.7 for 15 months and never went to 2.4, appetite was already where i needed it i was wrong about the ceiling for a year, i thought 3… 21:36
- half_life_hal — did anybody find a difference between KP and pharmacy at the same 2 21:43
- chaser_chris — slightly off topic but restarted after 14 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time 23:04
vials not pens here
is the plateau at 7 weeks normal or am i doing something wrong
does anyone actually run a five week step instead of four
while im here i stayed on 1.7 for 15 months and never went to 2.4, appetite was already where i needed it
i was wrong about the ceiling for a year, i thought 3 existed. it doesnt for the weight indication
did anybody find a difference between KP and pharmacy at the same 2
same dose day
how long till steady state, ive read the half life is about a week
[edited]ok so SELECT was cardiovascular outcomes in people with overweight and existing disease, not a weight trial
back after 16 months off, do i restart at 0.25 or somewhere higher
how did people handle the jump from 1 to 1.7
STEP 4 had the withdrawal arm, thats the one people quote when they talk about stopping
ok so vial units and pen clicks are different systems, mixing the two is how people end up wrong
does the licensed ceiling for weight differ from the diabetes one
steady state is the bit people skip, judging a new dose after eight days tells you almost nothing
does moving my dose day by two days matter with a seven day half life
plateaus move
steady state takes weeks
held at 1 and lost 65lb over 22 months, slower than the trials and fine by me
my 40 vial in 5ml gives 2mg/ml so 2.5 lands on 30 units, thats why i picked that volume
€38 a month for compounded against what brand costs locally is why most people here use vials, still working it out
give it four weeks
STEP 1 ran to 68 weeks. thats the one everyone half remembers
slower worked better
slightly off topic but restarted after 14 months off at a low dose and the nausea arrived exactly like the first time
