I respect pete_manc_UK perspective but I think this oversimplifies things a bit. Re: GLP-1 and beta-cell — the subgroup analyses show meaningful heterogeneity.
I am not saying pete_manc_UK wrong entirely — just that the picture is more nuanced than a blanket statement. The SURMOUNT data specifically shows baseline BMI-dependent responses.
Reading this thread on GLP-1 and beta-cell hits close to home. Night shift nurse — I started at 291 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.
7 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 66 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.
If you are on the fence about GLP-1 and beta-cell — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️

tom_AK — that is really helpful context on GLP-1 and beta-cell. Follow-up question: did you change anything about your diet at the same time?
