Slightly tangential to Weekly check-in thread but greg_boulder reminded me — what is the latest on the oral formulations?
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.
Relevant to Weekly check-in thread need — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:
Key improvements: A1C 8.0% → 5.3%, triglycerides 247 → 117 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.
Want to share my personal experience related to Weekly check-in thread need since I think it might help others in a similar situation.
I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 258 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 6 months later: I am down 63 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The Weekly check-in aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 275 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 12 months later: I am down 70 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The Weekly check-in aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
