OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on Compounded sema shortage .

Relevant to Compounded sema shortage — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:
Key improvements: A1C 8.4% → 5.5%, triglycerides 241 → 111 mg/dL, hsCRP 8.0 → 1.1 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 9 months.
The inflammatory marker drop is what impresses me most. Consistent with the SELECT trial's cardiovascular findings.
