Want to share my personal experience related to Iron deficiency on GLP-1 what since I think it might help others in a similar situation.

I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 259 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 12 months later: I am down 39 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The Iron deficiency on aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

This community helped me every step of the way.

Relevant to Iron deficiency on GLP-1 what — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:

Key improvements: A1C 8.4% → 5.5%, triglycerides 205 → 105 mg/dL, hsCRP 8.0 → 1.1 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 9 months.

The inflammatory marker drop is what impresses me most. Consistent with the SELECT trial's cardiovascular findings.

Want to share my personal experience related to Iron deficiency on GLP-1 what since I think it might help others in a similar situation.

I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 276 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 18 months later: I am down 46 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The Iron deficiency on aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

This forum was my go-to resource throughout.

Dr.PulmRoch — that is really helpful context on Iron deficiency on GLP-1 . Follow-up question: did you change anything about your diet at the same time?

I am in a similar situation (month 2) and trying to set realistic expectations.
