Telehealth prescribing costs — 12 month update

Reading this thread on Telehealth prescribing hits close to home. Dad of 2 checking in — I started at 285 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.

11 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 60 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.

If you are on the fence about Telehealth prescribi — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️

Moderator note: Great discussion, everyone. Just a reminder to keep things civil and evidence-based.

Thread quality is excellent — keep it up. 👍

Relevant to Telehealth prescribing costs — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:

Key improvements: A1C 8.4% → 5.5%, triglycerides 237 → 107 mg/dL, hsCRP 8.0 → 1.3 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 17 months.

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

Thank you LibrarianMeg! This is incredibly helpful. Taking this to my next appointment. 🙏

+1 to rachel_ABQ. Especially the point about "Telehealth prescribing is exactly what I..." — I have seen the same in my own experience with Telehealth prescribing.
