Highlights from this day
the 2.5 to 5 step was the roughest one for me and everything after was easier
🤝15🙏2
changed my mind about needing 15, i was chasing a number rather than an outcome
went back to semaglutide after 23 months because the cost difference mattered more than the GI

7.5 gang
held 10 for 8 months and lost 30kg over that stretch, slow and boring and fine
SURMOUNT was the weight programme and SURPASS was diabetes, thats the split people mix up
checked the units twice
wk 1-4 2.5mg
wk 5-8 5.0mg
wk 9-20 7.5mg <- stayed here
wk 21-24 10.0mg (no extra benefit for me)
wk 25+ 7.5mg (came back down)❤️9⚠️10
is the 5 vial the common one or do people use 30
dual agonist, GIP as well as GLP-1, thats the whole difference in one line

at 15 the GI came back for me, so my easier profile claim only applies below that

the trials titrated every four weeks to a target, most people here stop at whatever works
i argued the sweet spot was nonsense and then spent 13 months at 7.5 not needing more
