Exactly this. My pharmacist said the same thing about Has anyone dealt.

Slightly tangential to Has anyone dealt with but mia_MS2 reminded me — what is the latest on the oral formulations?

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.

Saving this for reference. Quality thread.

Want to share my personal experience related to Has anyone dealt with since I think it might help others in a similar situation.

I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 273 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 8 months later: I am down 63 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The Has anyone dealt aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

This community helped me every step of the way.

Relevant to Has anyone dealt with — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:

Key improvements: A1C 8.4% → 5.5%, triglycerides 249 → 119 mg/dL, hsCRP 8.0 → 1.3 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 17 months.

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