OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on Okay who else cannot stop.
To answer mike_mealprep: 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 Okay who else cannot stop — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:
Key improvements: A1C 7.2% → 5.3%, triglycerides 223 → 93 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 Okay who else cannot.
Slightly tangential to Okay who else cannot stop but robert_kc 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. NauseaFreeNow articulated what I have been trying to explain to my friends for months. The Okay who else cannot stop aspect is what made the difference for me.
