Slightly tangential to Is it sketchy that this but LindaRN_retired reminded me — what is the latest on the oral formulations?
I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.
Thanks for sharing this, LindaRN_retired. A few questions about your Is it sketchy that experience:
- What dose are you currently on?
- How long before you noticed significant changes?
- Did your doctor have any specific recommendations about Is it sketchy?
I am in a similar boat and trying to learn from others' experiences before my next appointment.

Relevant to Is it sketchy that this vendor — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:
Key improvements: A1C 7.6% → 5.5%, triglycerides 213 → 113 mg/dL, hsCRP 8.0 → 1.3 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 17 months.
The inflammatory marker drop is what impresses me most. Consistent with the SELECT trial's cardiovascular findings.
