Want to share my personal experience related to TRIUMPH program trial design since I think it might help others in a similar situation.

I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 247 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 12 months later: I am down 42 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The TRIUMPH program aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

This forum was my go-to resource throughout.

Relevant to TRIUMPH program trial design — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:

Key improvements: A1C 8.0% → 5.3%, triglycerides 223 → 93 mg/dL, hsCRP 6.0 → 1.1 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 15 months.

The inflammatory marker drop is what impresses me most. Consistent with the SELECT trial's cardiovascular findings.

I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 264 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 18 months later: I am down 49 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The TRIUMPH program aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

This community helped me every step of the way.

FDA_TrackerJim — that is really helpful context on TRIUMPH program trial. Follow-up question: did you experience any side effects during this phase?

I am in a similar situation (about to start) and trying to set realistic expectations.
