comment on Ozempic: what the trials say vs what this community says in c/semaglutide · 53 points · 1 year ago
staying at 1.0mg for an extra month is a legitimate plan
comment on Ozempic: what the trials say vs what this community says in c/semaglutide · 190 points · 1 year ago
Does fatigue track the day after the shot, or is it there all week?
comment on lyophilised — 8 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/coldchain · 1 points · 1 year ago
Gel pack fully liquid on arrival, powder tested 98.7% against a claimed 98.5% afterwards. The pack had done its job for as long as it was designed to.
comment on the TRIUMPH thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down in c/retatrutide · 92 points · 1 year ago
nothing here is available as a prescription product, so read every thread with that in mind
comment on genuine question about titration that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/semaglutide · 1 points · 1 year ago
Dropped my injection day by two days once because of travel. Nothing happened. The panic was worse than the effect.
comment on ice pack — 19 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/coldchain · 51 points · 1 year ago
fridge, not freezer, once it is in solution
comment on what went wrong is the most under-discussed thing on this board in c/darkspot · 0 points · 1 year ago
accusing the wrong party and correcting it publicly is the best kind of post here
comment on [Discussion] we are measuring data logger at the wrong time and calling it noise in c/coldchain · 13 points · 1 year ago
insulation buys hours, not days
comment on [Vendor] GL Biochem vs JEEP on the same compound, same month — both cleared 97.0% in c/darkspot · 26 points · 1 year ago
a mistake described in detail is worth more than a success described vaguely
comment on [Lab] 9th independent test on QYB — 97.7% on a claimed 97.0%, and the trend is the interesting part in c/retatrutide · 78 points · 1 year ago
Agreed, and the framing that helps is: this is a phase 2 compound with phase 3 running. Everything else is inference.
comment on SELECT: what the trials say vs what this community says in c/trialwatch · 23 points · 1 year ago
read the endpoint before you read the headline
comment on [Discussion] we are measuring TGA at the wrong time and calling it noise in c/glp1aus · 1 points · 1 year ago
compounded supply arrangements changed and the threads have not caught up
comment on SURPASS — 15 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/trialwatch · 44 points · 1 year ago
Spent an evening with the appendix tables and found the subgroup detail that the entire thread had been speculating about.
comment on help me understand lyophilised, I have read the wiki twice in c/coldchain · 28 points · 1 year ago
if you want to know, log it, otherwise you are guessing
comment on hazard ratio is the most under-discussed thing on this board in c/trialwatch · 168 points · 1 year ago
Which trial, and which arm?
comment on shortage is the most under-discussed thing on this board in c/glp1aus · 14 points · 1 year ago
PBS listing and TGA registration are two different questions
controversial_only is right that the two countries are separate systems and the answers diverge.
comment on [Meta] proposal — a flair for below spec posts in c/darkspot · 16 points · 1 year ago
A public correction of a wrong accusation is worth more to the record than the original report, because it is the thing that keeps the rest of the arc
Disagreeing with the self-blame in this line. Some of it is luck and treating everything as a lesson is its own trap.
comment on [Meta] the Wegovy rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining in c/semaglutide · 876 points · 1 year ago
Dropped my injection day by two days once because of travel. Nothing happened. The panic was worse than the effect.
comment on am I the only one who found triple agonist harder than the injections in c/retatrutide · 355 points · 1 year ago
Watched heart rate on a wearable across twelve weeks because the threads said to. It moved a little and I have no idea whether that means anything.
comment on switched from 0.5mg to 1.0mg and muscle cramps got better, not worse in c/semaglutide · 46 points · 1 year ago
sema is weekly for a reason, the half-life does the smoothing
comment on am I the only one who found below spec harder than the injections in c/darkspot · 12 points · 1 year ago
Same. The thing that went wrong for me was procedural and boring and it cost me a lot.
comment on help me understand SURMOUNT, I have read the wiki twice in c/trialwatch · 0 points · 1 year ago
registry entry, protocol, publication — three different documents
comment on [Question] food noise — what am I missing here in c/semaglutide · 157 points · 1 year ago
do not chase somebody else’s titration schedule, they are not you
comment on why does nobody talk about SELECT in c/trialwatch · 13 points · 1 year ago
What was the discontinuation rate?
comment on [Vendor] BCH order #16 — Germany, 4 days, no drama, receipts inside in c/coldchain · 74 points · 1 year ago
ask what storage condition the stability statement was written against
comment on [Discussion] the PBS advice in here is 3 years out of date in c/glp1aus · 1 points · 1 year ago
the TGA shortage database is public and it is the source, not the news
comment on 3 months in and triple agonist is still the thing I get wrong in c/retatrutide · 20 points · 1 year ago
Read the phase 2 paper twice before ordering anything. Recommend that to anyone in this board: the error bars are the interesting part.
comment on hazard ratio is the most under-discussed thing on this board in c/trialwatch · 17 points · 1 year ago
the appendix is where the interesting tables live
comment on how much of what we believe about endpoint actually comes from TRIUMPH threads in c/trialwatch · 421 points · 1 year ago
read the endpoint before you read the headline
comment on reading SURMOUNT threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/trialwatch · 43 points · 1 year ago
a press release is not a publication
comment on [Discussion] the excursion advice in here is 2 years out of date in c/coldchain · 259 points · 1 year ago
What was the packaging — rigid outer, gel packs, anything insulating?
comment on what changed for me between month 8 and month 16 in c/retatrutide · 27 points · 2 years ago
Cosigning the escalation point. Almost every difficult report on this board is from somebody who went up quickly.
comment on SELECT: what the trials say vs what this community says in c/trialwatch · 1 points · 2 years ago
discontinuation rate is a result, not a footnote
comment on someone explain phase 2 to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/retatrutide · 108 points · 2 years ago
the escalation is where most of the reported trouble sits
comment on the stability question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/coldchain · 3 points · 2 years ago
What was the packaging — rigid outer, gel packs, anything insulating?
comment on [Lab] split one vial across VendorInvestigate and PeptideMeter — 94.2% and 97.9% in c/semaglutide · 3 points · 2 years ago
protein first, then everything else gets easier
Adding one thing to this: the appetite effect and the scale run on separate clocks, so both halves can be true at once.
comment on am I the only one who found glucagon harder than the injections in c/retatrutide · 62 points · 2 years ago
the phase 2 numbers were striking and they were also 48 weeks in a small population
comment on am I the only one who found glucagon harder than the injections in c/retatrutide · 362 points · 2 years ago
Watched heart rate on a wearable across twelve weeks because the threads said to. It moved a little and I have no idea whether that means anything.
comment on small win: plateau stopped being a problem at week 28 in c/semaglutide · 111 points · 2 years ago
dose day drift of a day either way is fine, the curve barely notices
comment on what changed for me between month 6 and month 10 in c/semaglutide · 0 points · 2 years ago
Yes — and the honest version is that most of the "it stopped working" posts turn out to be a normal fortnight of water weight.
