comment on [Paper] survodutide MASH data is the most interesting hepatic readout in the class in c/survodutide · 2 points · 16 hr ago
Has anyone posted an independent purity result for this compound?
comment on [Paper] survodutide MASH data is the most interesting hepatic readout in the class in c/survodutide · 8 points · 2 days ago
Assumed the weight numbers were the point and was corrected. They are secondary to what this is being developed for.
comment on [Vendor] WXT order #4 — 8 days Wuxi to UK, cold pack still solid in c/vendorvetting · 20 points · 7 days ago
Right — HJ publishes the method line on the certificate, and once you have seen one that does you notice every one that does not.
comment on [Regain] 4kg back over a year and i am calling that a win in c/maintenancephase · -30 points · 15 days ago
maintenance is a phase, not a finish line
comment on domain registered eleven days ago, 400 five-star reviews. sure in c/vendorvetting · 2 points · 20 days ago
Fixing my own comment above: I said 21 orders and it is 26. The pattern is the same, the count was wrong.
comment on [Appeal] peer-to-peer review: what to say and what to bring in c/insurancefights · 1 points · 20 days ago
the second-level appeal is where things actually turn
comment on [Appeal] peer-to-peer review: what to say and what to bring in c/insurancefights · 34 points · 21 days ago
external review exists and almost nobody uses it
comment on [Results] two years, weight stable within 3kg, dose at a quarter of peak in c/maintenancephase · 53 points · 21 days ago
Withdrawal studies in this class consistently show substantial regain after discontinuation. That is a pharmacological finding about a chronic condition, not a statement about anyone’s discipline.
comment on stretching to 10 days instead of 7 — anyone doing this long term in c/maintenancephase · -22 points · 24 days ago
Body weight varies by a couple of kilos over days in stable people through fluid, glycogen and gut content. A range is not a trend.
comment on [Vendor] MKM — five tests, four compounds, nothing outside the band in c/vendorvetting · 70 points · 1 months ago
ask for the batch record before you ask for a discount
comment on [Discussion] the external review advice in here is 2 years out of date in c/insurancefights · -1 points · 1 months ago
Spent six weeks arguing in general terms and got nowhere. Two paragraphs quoting their own criteria turned it around in eleven days.
comment on [Meta] we crossed 800k members and nothing about the rules changes in c/meta · 1 points · 1 months ago
nobody here is paid, including the moderators
comment on the hypoglycaemia question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/t2dglp1 · 12 points · 1 months ago
the fasting number is the one people fixate on and it moves last
comment on [Rules] no referral links. not once. not ever. permanent. in c/meta · 1 points · 1 months ago
Proposed a rule change here with actual wording and it was adopted. That is the process working and it is not fast.
comment on [Rules] no referral links. not once. not ever. permanent. in c/meta · 0 points · 1 months ago
Disagree with loosening that. The evidence rule is why a supplier report here means something.
comment on why does nobody talk about A1c in c/t2dglp1 · -16 points · 1 months ago
Disagree — that is an obesity trial endpoint and this thread is about glycaemic control.
comment on regain: what the trials say vs what this community says in c/maintenancephase · 76 points · 1 months ago
Has appetite changed, or only the scale?
comment on [Lab] split one vial across Medutest and Janoshik — 96.2% and 99.2% in c/vendorvetting · 177 points · 2 months ago
Mild pushback: a supplier with fewer entries is not worse, it is less sampled. Those are different claims and the table says so.
comment on [Question] glucagon — what am I missing here in c/survodutide · 1 points · 2 months ago
dual GLP-1 and glucagon agonist, and the glucagon arm is the story
comment on maintenance is the most under-discussed thing on this board in c/maintenancephase · 7 points · 2 months ago
Correction: that trial measured regain after withdrawal, not failure of the drug during treatment. Very different claim.
comment on [Results] 28 weeks, 11kg, and MASH was the hard part in c/survodutide · 4 points · 2 months ago
Yes — nothing containing this is approved anywhere, which is the first fact and usually the last one mentioned.
comment on [Discussion] can we stop arguing about copay until somebody posts a number in c/insurancefights · -22 points · 2 months ago
Employer plan or individual plan?
comment on reading order records threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/vendorvetting · 51 points · 3 months ago
What a batch record should carry: the lot identifier, the date of analysis, the method including column and gradient, the individual related substances rather than a total, and the storage condition the stability statement was written against.
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify vendor in c/vendorvetting · 45 points · 3 months ago
Left up.
Adding the practical version: ask for lead time, minimum quantity and the batch record in the same message. Three answers, one email.
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify vendor in c/vendorvetting · 27 points · 3 months ago
Agree. The verification log is the part with the checkable facts in it; the number at the top is just a summary of a lot of averaging.
comment on [Discussion] the wiki advice in here is 3 years out of date in c/meta · -7 points · 4 months ago
the wiki is editable by anybody with standing on the site
comment on week 95 check-in — 48kg down, nausea manageable, one thing confusing me in c/maintenancephase · 15 points · 4 months ago
Weigh monthly now. Best change I made in the whole run and it cost nothing.
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify MASH in c/survodutide · 66 points · 4 months ago
Went slowly because everything published describes a deliberate escalation. That is the extent of what I will say about it.
comment on three years of step therapy threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/insurancefights · 1 points · 5 months ago
Same view. The second-level appeal is where mine turned, after a first-level denial that looked final.
comment on [Discussion] can we stop arguing about dose stretching until somebody posts a number in c/maintenancephase · 226 points · 5 months ago
Body weight varies by a couple of kilos over days in stable people through fluid, glycogen and gut content. A range is not a trend.
comment on why does nobody talk about order records in c/vendorvetting · 10 points · 5 months ago
the source page log is more useful than the score above it
comment on small win: maintenance stopped being a problem at week 92 in c/maintenancephase · 2 points · 5 months ago
seven days to ten to twelve is the sequence people here describe
comment on small win: maintenance stopped being a problem at week 92 in c/maintenancephase · 10 points · 5 months ago
None of this is a taper plan. What dose holds for you is a question for somebody with your history in front of them.
comment on unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about VendorInvestigate is guesswork in c/vendorvetting · 0 points · 5 months ago
Tracking number redacted from the post above.
Adding the practical version: ask for lead time, minimum quantity and the batch record in the same message. Three answers, one email.
comment on MASH — my 24-week log, condensed into one table in c/survodutide · 0 points · 5 months ago
The escalation schedules in the published protocols are slow and deliberate, and the tolerability tables show why. That is a description of the trials rather than a suggestion for anybody.
comment on how much of what we believe about reship actually comes from Janoshik threads in c/vendorvetting · 1 points · 6 months ago
lead time quoted at checkout is the number to hold them to
comment on [Lab] 24th independent test on QSC — 98.4% on a claimed 98.0%, and the trend is the interesting part in c/survodutide · 31 points · 6 months ago
biopsy-confirmed is not the same as imaging-suggested
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify appeal in c/insurancefights · 44 points · 7 months ago
Right, and keeping every date and reference number turns a frustrating process into an auditable one.
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify wiki in c/meta · 0 points · 7 months ago
modmail first, always, and the thread second
This is the principle the whole site is built on. Publish it or do not enforce it.
comment on dual agonist is the most under-discussed thing on this board in c/survodutide · 3 points · 7 months ago
Correction: that is the imaging endpoint, not the histological one. The paper reports both and they differ substantially.
