Saving this for reference. Quality thread.
Want to share my personal experience related to Prediabetes reversal on GLP-1 since I think it might help others in a similar situation.
I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 286 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 6 months later: I am down 86 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The Prediabetes reversal 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 Prediabetes reversal on.
To answer MariaRD: I started tracking everything in a spreadsheet from day 1.

I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 258 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 12 months later: I am down 38 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The Prediabetes reversal aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

I am in a similar situation (month 2) and trying to set realistic expectations.
