Just had to share this with someone who would understand — triple agonist sounds scary - is.

Got my latest A1C and I am genuinely emotional right now. 12 months in and the progress is real.

Details in the comments but wanted to start this thread because I think others going through the same thing need to see that it works.

Dr.PulmRoch's experience with Triple agonist sounds resonates deeply with mine. I went through almost the identical process — starting dose, titration timeline, side effects, everything.

The main difference: I started 3 months later. But the overall trajectory has been remarkably similar. Down 50 lbs in 5 months.

One thing I would add that Dr.PulmRoch did not mention: the mental health improvements were just as significant.

Thanks for sharing this, Dr.PulmRoch. A few questions about your Triple agonist experience:

1. What dose did you start at?
2. How long before you noticed side effects improving?
3. Did your provider have any specific recommendations about Triple agonist?

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 Triple agonist sounds.

To answer wendy_avl: I get my labs done through Quest every 3 months.

Quick update: my latest labs came back even better. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion — this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. 🙏

Relevant to Triple agonist sounds scary - — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:

Key improvements: A1C 7.2% → 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.
