Putting together a summary on blood sugar used to spike to since I keep seeing the same questions pop up.

I am not a medical professional (just a well-researched patient) so take this with appropriate salt, but I have compiled info from the clinical trials.

Happy to be corrected by the actual clinicians here — that is the whole point of posting it.

SallyK_inj's experience with Blood sugar used to spike resonates deeply with mine. I went through almost the identical process — starting dose, titration timeline, side effects, everything.

The main difference: I had more GI issues initially. But the overall trajectory has been remarkably similar. Down 49 lbs in 14 months.

One thing I would add that SallyK_inj did not mention: insurance coverage was a major hurdle.

Thanks for sharing this, SallyK_inj. A few questions about your Blood sugar used to experience:

1. What dose are you currently on?
2. How long before you noticed significant changes?
3. Did your doctor have any specific recommendations about Blood sugar?

I am in a similar boat and trying to learn from others' experiences before my next appointment.
