Congrats Dr.NutriCornell!! Keep going — you're doing incredible. 🎉 👏

Relevant to GLP-1 and gambling reduction — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:

Key improvements: A1C 8.4% → 5.5%, triglycerides 209 → 109 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.

Want to share my personal experience related to GLP-1 and gambling reduction since I think it might help others in a similar situation.

I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 280 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 14 months later: I am down 45 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The GLP-1 and gambling aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

This forum was my go-to resource throughout.

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

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

I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 252 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 6 months later: I am down 52 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The GLP-1 and gambling aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
