Slightly tangential to Type 1.5 diabetes (LADA) but marcus_mpls 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, marcus_mpls. A few questions about your Type 1.5 diabetes experience:
- What dose did you start at?
- How long before you noticed side effects improving?
- Did your provider have any specific recommendations about Type 1.5 diabet?
I am in a similar boat and trying to learn from others' experiences before my next appointment.

Relevant to Type 1.5 diabetes (LADA) and — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:
Key improvements: A1C 7.6% → 5.5%, triglycerides 229 → 99 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.
