Subscribing to this thread. My cardiologist just is exactly what I've been researching. 🙏

OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on My cardiologist just.

To answer Dr.PainCLE: yes, I am on compounded sema from a 503B pharmacy.

Quick update: things are still going well. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion — this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. 🙏

Relevant to My cardiologist just — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:

Key improvements: A1C 7.6% → 5.5%, triglycerides 221 → 91 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.

This is exactly right. BethLabQueen articulated what I have been trying to explain to my friends for months. The My cardiologist just aspect is what made the difference for me.

Slightly tangential to My cardiologist just but Dr.RaviCardio reminded me — does anyone have experience combining this with metformin?

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.
