Slightly tangential to Metabolic syndrome but BrianDallas92 reminded me — what is the latest on the oral formulations?

I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.

Want to share my personal experience related to Metabolic syndrome reversal since I think it might help others in a similar situation.

I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 287 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 8 months later: I am down 57 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The Metabolic syndrome aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

This community helped me every step of the way.

Relevant to Metabolic syndrome reversal — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:

Key improvements: A1C 8.4% → 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.
