Relevant to State pharmacy board — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:
Key improvements: A1C 7.2% → 5.3%, triglycerides 215 → 115 mg/dL, hsCRP 6.0 → 0.9 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 7 months.
The inflammatory marker drop is what impresses me most. Consistent with the SELECT trial's cardiovascular findings.
OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on State pharmacy board.
To answer TomTeleRx: yes, I am on compounded sema from a 503B pharmacy.

I am in a similar situation (about to start) and trying to set realistic expectations.
Want to share my personal experience related to State pharmacy board since I think it might help others in a similar situation.
I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 273 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 16 months later: I am down 73 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The State pharmacy board aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
This forum was my go-to resource throughout.
