Quick question for the group — has anyone dealt with prediabetic and.

I searched before posting (promise!) but the threads I found were from 2024 and things seem to have changed since then.

My situation: I'm switching medications and this came up during my last appointment. My nurse mentioned it but did not go into detail.

Would love to hear from people who've actually dealt with this. What worked? What didn't? What do you wish someone had told you?

Thanks everyone — this forum has been invaluable for me.

Dr.RaviCardio's experience with Has anyone dealt with resonates deeply with mine. I went through almost the identical process — starting dose, titration timeline, side effects, everything.

The main difference: I started 3 months later. But the overall trajectory has been remarkably similar. Down 54 lbs in 9 months.

One thing I would add that Dr.RaviCardio did not mention: the mental health improvements were just as significant.

Thanks for sharing this, Dr.RaviCardio. A few questions about your Has anyone dealt experience:

1. What dose worked best for you?
2. How long before you noticed appetite suppression kicking in?
3. Did your endo have any specific recommendations about Has anyone deal?

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

OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on Has anyone dealt with.

To answer TrialNerd_Beth: I get my labs done through Quest every 3 months.

Quick update: my latest labs came back even better. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion — this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. 🙏

Relevant to Has anyone dealt with — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:

Key improvements: A1C 8.0% → 5.3%, triglycerides 227 → 97 mg/dL, hsCRP 6.0 → 0.9 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 7 months.

The inflammatory marker drop is what impresses me most. Consistent with the SELECT trial's cardiovascular findings.
