Relevant to Day 3 on sema and I feel like — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:

Key improvements: A1C 8.0% → 5.3%, triglycerides 239 → 109 mg/dL, hsCRP 6.0 → 0.9 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 7 months.

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

Want to share my personal experience related to Day 3 on sema and I feel like since I think it might help others in a similar situation.

I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 265 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 8 months later: I am down 75 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The Day 3 on sema and I aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

This community helped me every step of the way.

Relevant to Day 3 on sema and I feel like — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:

Key improvements: A1C 7.6% → 5.5%, triglycerides 241 → 111 mg/dL, hsCRP 8.0 → 1.1 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 9 months.

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

Want to share my personal experience related to Day 3 on sema and I feel like since I think it might help others in a similar situation.

I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 282 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 14 months later: I am down 82 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The Day 3 on sema and I aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

This forum was my go-to resource throughout.

Dr.PeteFamMed — that is really helpful context on Day 3 on sema and I feel. Follow-up question: did you change anything about your diet at the same time?

I am in a similar situation (month 2) and trying to set realistic expectations.
