Slightly tangential to ApoB tracking on 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.

Thanks for sharing this, rachel_ABQ. A few questions about your ApoB tracking on experience:
- What dose did you start at?
- How long before you noticed side effects improving?
- Did your provider have any specific recommendations about ApoB tracking?
I am in a similar boat and trying to learn from others' experiences before my next appointment.

OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on ApoB tracking on GLP-1 .
To answer julia.endo: I started tracking everything in a spreadsheet from day 1.
Quick update: I will post a proper update thread soon. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion — this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. 🙏
