Slightly tangential to Skin rash at injection but LipidDoc_ATL reminded me — does anyone have experience combining this with metformin?
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.

This is exactly right. ZaraB_AL articulated what I have been trying to explain to my doctor for months. The Skin rash at injection aspect is the most important factor.
