I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 257 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 18 months later: I am down 77 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The My doctor says stay aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
This community helped me every step of the way.
Relevant to My doctor says stay on 1mg but — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:
Key improvements: A1C 7.6% → 5.5%, triglycerides 233 → 103 mg/dL, hsCRP 8.0 → 0.9 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 13 months.
The inflammatory marker drop is what impresses me most. Consistent with the SELECT trial's cardiovascular findings.
