Can confirm — my data shows the same pattern.

Gonna push back on this one. My honest comparison after ordering is not that straightforward in my experience. I have been on this for 12 months and the reality is messier than the trials suggest.
Don't get me wrong — the medication works. But cost accessibility is a real barrier. We should be honest about that.

Want to share my personal experience related to My honest comparison after since I think it might help others in a similar situation.
I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 256 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 6 months later: I am down 51 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The My honest comparison aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
This community helped me every step of the way.

KarenAZ_mom — that is really helpful context on My honest comparison. Follow-up question: what labs did your doctor order to monitor this?
I am in a similar situation (just started) and trying to set realistic expectations.
