Slightly tangential to Oral vs injectable GLP-1 but hans_munich 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.
Saving this for reference. Quality thread.
Want to share my personal experience related to Oral vs injectable GLP-1 since I think it might help others in a similar situation.
I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 254 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 18 months later: I am down 39 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The Oral vs injectable aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
