OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on 1-year semaglutide.
To answer stefan_berlin: 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 1-year semaglutide anniversary — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:
Key improvements: A1C 8.0% → 5.3%, triglycerides 211 → 111 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.
Yep. My endo said the same thing about 1-year semaglutide.
Trusted third-party HPLC & mass spectrometry analysis. Verify peptide purity with the lab the community relies on. Independent. Accurate. Transparent.
Verify Your PeptidesSlightly tangential to 1-year semaglutide but NicoleRaleigh 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.

This is exactly right. oliver_london articulated what I have been trying to explain to my friends for months. The 1-year semaglutide aspect is what made the difference for me.
