comment on [Pricing] ON vs AB vs BC, same product, same month in c/glp1canada · 0 points · 3 days ago
Has your plan renewed since the last time you applied?
comment on [Data] logger trace: 6 days transit, 41 hours above 8°C, powder was fine in c/coldchain · 64 points · 4 days ago
Which lane, and had it been quoted at that transit time?
comment on [Discussion] the Ontario answer is not the Alberta answer in c/glp1canada · 2 points · 6 days ago
compare cash prices before assuming coverage is the only path
comment on [PCOS] my androgens moved before my weight did in c/glp1women · 0 points · 14 days ago
Push back: PCOS as a diagnosis and insulin resistance as a finding are not interchangeable, and the thread is using them as one.
viktor_laurent is right that a diagnosis and a finding are different things here.
comment on [PCOS] my androgens moved before my weight did in c/glp1women · 8 points · 14 days ago
Correction: that trial did not enrol the population being discussed, so it cannot support the claim.
comment on three years of special authorization threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/glp1canada · 13 points · 16 days ago
Agreed on keeping every form and date. When something goes wrong the paper trail is the whole case.
comment on [Appeal] the modmail-first policy and why it exists in c/meta · 9 points · 24 days ago
sort by controversial occasionally, it is worth it
comment on [Milestone] AHI 34 → 9, the CPAP is in a cupboard in c/progresspics · 5 points · 28 days ago
Nothing on this board is medical advice, and rate, target and method are questions for somebody who knows your history.
comment on [Announcement] wiki rewrite finished — 22 community wikis live in c/meta · 1 points · 1 months ago
no referral links, no affiliate links, not once
comment on [Meta] the FLOW rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining in c/trialwatch · 5 points · 1 months ago
Correction: SURMOUNT is the obesity programme and SURPASS is the diabetes one. The figure you quoted belongs to the other one.
comment on [Discussion] the archive-after-a-year policy: keep, change, or scrap in c/meta · 2 points · 1 months ago
Correction: that rule applies to the vendor boards specifically, not site-wide. The wording is on the rules page.
comment on [Meta] proposal — a flair for PeptideMeter posts in c/labresults · 31 points · 1 months ago
Cosigning on saying who paid. It is the whole basis on which this log is worth anything.
comment on [Discussion] stability is doing more work than we give it credit for in c/coldchain · 1 points · 2 months ago
What was the packaging — rigid outer, gel packs, anything insulating?
comment on 12 months in and orforglipron is still the thing I get wrong in c/orforglipron · 21 points · 2 months ago
Left up.
This is the fact the whole board hangs on. Small molecule, not peptide.
comment on small win: non-scale victory stopped being a problem at week 61 in c/progresspics · 19 points · 2 months ago
The first thing I noticed was a jacket doing up. The scale had been flat for three weeks at that point.
comment on the excursion thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down in c/coldchain · 21 points · 2 months ago
A transit temperature logger records a distribution, and time above a threshold matters as much as peak temperature. That is the argument for logging rather than guessing.
comment on [Discussion] the endpoint advice in here is 3 years out of date in c/trialwatch · -18 points · 3 months ago
How long was the randomised phase before any extension?
comment on [PSA] milestone is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/progresspics · 102 points · 3 months ago
Nothing on this board is medical advice, and rate, target and method are questions for somebody who knows your history.
comment on [Question] Canada — what am I missing here in c/glp1canada · 5 points · 3 months ago
Those criteria were revised at renewal, so the version quoted upthread is out of date.
comment on [Question] endpoint — what am I missing here in c/trialwatch · 13 points · 3 months ago
a mean is not a promise
comment on [Question] endpoint — what am I missing here in c/trialwatch · 34 points · 3 months ago
intention to treat versus completers changes the number substantially
comment on [Discussion] can we stop arguing about lyophilised until somebody posts a number in c/coldchain · 1 points · 3 months ago
Correction: that stability figure covers the lyophilised powder, not the reconstituted solution. Different claim entirely.
comment on [Results] 72 weeks on 12.5mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring in c/progresspics · 5 points · 3 months ago
Body weight varies by a couple of kilos day to day through fluid, glycogen and gut content, which is why a single weigh-in is noise and a fortnightly trend is signal.
comment on week 66 check-in — 26kg down, fatigue manageable, one thing confusing me in c/orforglipron · 41 points · 3 months ago
Yes — nothing containing this is approved anywhere, and the threads keep forgetting it.
comment on SURPASS — 24 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/trialwatch · 56 points · 4 months ago
Spent an evening with the appendix tables and found the subgroup detail that the entire thread had been speculating about.
comment on 8 months in and orforglipron is still the thing I get wrong in c/orforglipron · 7 points · 5 months ago
Push back: daily dosing is not automatically better adherence. It is a different failure mode, not a solved problem.
comment on 8 months in and orforglipron is still the thing I get wrong in c/orforglipron · 6 points · 5 months ago
Not convinced. Oral semaglutide is a peptide formulated with an absorption enhancer; the comparison you are making does not hold.
comment on why does nobody talk about SELECT in c/trialwatch · 1 points · 5 months ago
Correcting myself upthread: I gave the completer figure and labelled it intention-to-treat.
comment on why does nobody talk about SELECT in c/trialwatch · 1 points · 5 months ago
a press release is not a publication
comment on genuine question about data logger that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/coldchain · 18 points · 5 months ago
Gel packs are designed for a duty cycle. A liquid pack at the end of a longer-than-expected transit is a pack behaving as specified, not evidence of an excursion in the vial.
comment on [Meta] the moderation rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining in c/meta · -12 points · 6 months ago
Same view — strict evidence rules make this board slower and make the archive worth reading in three years.
comment on someone explain FLOW to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/trialwatch · 41 points · 6 months ago
What did the confidence interval look like?
comment on unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about test results are guesswork in c/labresults · 34 points · 6 months ago
Is that the same lot as the one in the thread from last month?
comment on unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about ranking is guesswork in c/meta · 10 points · 6 months ago
ranked feeds mean the top comment is not the best answer
comment on SURPASS — 7 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/trialwatch · 3 points · 6 months ago
Same. A press release is a claim about a result; the publication is the result.
comment on genuine question about private plan that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/glp1canada · 17 points · 7 months ago
A rejected claim at the pharmacy counter and a denied authorization are different events with different remedies. The first can be an administrative or quantity issue; the second is a determination you can appeal.
comment on the Janoshik question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/labresults · 0 points · 7 months ago
Do you have the trace, or only the summary?
comment on the Janoshik question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/labresults · 0 points · 7 months ago
Which service, and did you pay for it yourself?
comment on the Janoshik question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/labresults · 19 points · 7 months ago
Split one vial between VendorInvestigate and Medutest. The two numbers were within half a point of each other and I stopped worrying about which lab to trust.
comment on unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about Canada is guesswork in c/glp1canada · 26 points · 8 months ago
Employer-sponsored plans have their own criteria and appeal processes, independent of the provincial formulary. Which one applies determines everything about the route.
