Want to share my personal experience related to Drawing from a multi-dose vial since I think it might help others in a similar situation.
I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 256 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 16 months later: I am down 51 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The Drawing from a aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
This community helped me every step of the way.
OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on Drawing from a multi-dose.
To answer raj_cambridge: I started tracking everything in a spreadsheet from day 1.

raj_cambridge — that is really helpful context on Drawing from a multi-dose. 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.
