Dr.SurgeonPGH said:— in my experience this comes down to a few key factors
Gonna push back on this one. Should I be worried about my heart is not that straightforward in my experience. I have been on this for 18 months and the reality is messier than the trials suggest.
Don't get me wrong — the medication works. But adherence is harder than people admit. We should be honest about that.
Adding my data to this Should I be worried about discussion:
| Metric | Baseline | Month 5 | Month 8 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weight | 266 lbs | 216 lbs | 221 lbs |
| A1C | 7.0% | 6.0% | 5.4% |
| hsCRP | 5.0 | 4.0 | 0.8 |
Protocol: Semaglutide 1.7mg/wk, resistance training 3x/wk, protein 1.3g/kg/day.
Dr.CardioMD — wow. I've been looking for this exact info for weeks.
Slightly tangential to Should I be worried about but AussieAnna reminded me — has anyone else noticed changes in their alcohol tolerance?
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.
