Short answer: the data supports it for most people

I respect TrialNerd_Beth perspective but I think this oversimplifies things a bit. Re: How do you guys store your — the effect size varies considerably by population.

I am not saying TrialNerd_Beth wrong entirely — just that the picture is more nuanced than a blanket statement. The SUSTAIN data specifically shows different outcomes in different metabolic phenotypes.

Relevant to How do you guys store your — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:

Key improvements: A1C 8.0% → 5.3%, triglycerides 199 → 99 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.

Thank you PedsEndoPhilly! This is incredibly helpful. Bookmarking for later. 🙏

Slightly tangential to How do you guys store but TinaHashiRN reminded me — has the insurance landscape changed recently?

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.
