Slightly tangential to DEXA scan facilities but adam_van 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.

Thanks for sharing this, adam_van. A few questions about your DEXA scan facilities experience:
- What dose did you start at?
- How long before you noticed side effects improving?
- Did your provider have any specific recommendations about DEXA scan facil?
I am in a similar boat and trying to learn from others' experiences before my next appointment.

OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on DEXA scan facilities .
To answer pam_stl: yes, I am on compounded sema from a 503B pharmacy.
Quick update: things are still going well. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion — this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. 🙏

Relevant to DEXA scan facilities looking — here is my latest bloodwork comparison:
Key improvements: A1C 8.4% → 5.5%, triglycerides 205 → 105 mg/dL, hsCRP 8.0 → 1.1 mg/L. All on tirzepatide for 9 months.
The inflammatory marker drop is what impresses me most. Consistent with the SELECT trial's cardiovascular findings.
