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 247 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 14 months later: I am down 37 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 7.6% → 5.5%, triglycerides 193 → 93 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.
