Dr.RaviCardio — that is really helpful context on ClinicalTrials.gov GLP-1. 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.
To answer TrialTracker_MD's question specifically:
From a clinical standpoint, ClinicalTrials.gov GLP-1 trial is well-supported by the literature.
The short answer: follow the standard titration protocol and reassess at 4-6 weeks.
The longer answer involves pharmacokinetic considerations around steady-state concentrations, which I am happy to elaborate on if helpful.
rachel_ABQ — wow. This community is amazing.

Slightly tangential to ClinicalTrials.gov GLP-1 but rachel_ABQ 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.
