Slightly tangential to Has anyone dealt with but KristenIndy 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.

OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on Has anyone dealt with.
To answer ZaraB_AL: my doctor and I discussed the options and went with brand.
Quick update: I have noticed more improvement since posting this. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion — this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. 🙏

Want to share my personal experience related to Has anyone dealt with blood since I think it might help others in a similar situation.
I started my GLP-1 journey in October 2024 at 260 lbs with prediabetes and hypertension. My endocrinologist prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.
Now, 8 months later: I am down 75 lbs, my labs have normalized, and I am off 2 of my 3 medications. The Has anyone dealt aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.
This community helped me every step of the way.

SurmountFan_IN — that is really helpful context on Has anyone dealt with. Follow-up question: did you experience any side effects during this phase?
I am in a similar situation (about to start) and trying to set realistic expectations.
