OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on Is it normal for liver.
To answer bri_stats: 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 Is it normal for liver enzymes — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:
Key improvements: A1C 7.2% → 5.3%, triglycerides 235 → 105 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 Is it normal for.
Slightly tangential to Is it normal for liver but AmyNC_wife 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. carlos_SATX articulated what I have been trying to explain to my friends for months. The Is it normal for liver aspect is what made the difference for me.
