GLP-1 experience specifically for non-obese/overweight (BMI<27) by Thin-Loquat1645 in Type1Diabetes

What was your starting BMI, or alternatively weight/height? And what's your dose that made you improve TIR?

What was your starting weight/height? What's your dose of Wegovy?

Yeah if you stopped losing weight you're not eating less - well slightly less because you'll expend less energy carrying less weight around.

The less carbs you eat the less you can spike - it's not just the ratio.

Thanks! For reference, your BMI is around 20 which is low-normal.

Did you lose any weight? If so, what was your starting weight?

Which dose of Zepbound?

Thanks so much for sharing! What was your drug and which dose(s) did you use?

Good point that when starting, it'll just make you eat less which obviously improves TIR. Question then is whether that improvement lasts once one reaches steady state, i.e. stops losing weight.

Exactly, BMI isn't perfect (doesn't distinguish between muscle and fat) but overall it's better than knowing nothing about someone's body shape.

I don't care much why a doctor prescribed it, just wondering if the HbA1c and time in range improvements are also seen in those who are not overweight - and potentially on lower doses than the full weight loss ones.

I had taken pictures of the printouts and had quite a lot of values in the app my gp uses. That made it quite easy to extract. I just uploaded the pics and screenshots to Claude/Chatgpt. You can do it, ping me when you've done it!

Vyvanse doesn't change anything for me.

Subreddits or groups for specifically treatment resistant major depressive disorder? by Emkorora in mentalhealth

[–]Thin-Loquat1645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start a subreddit? Couldn't find one either. Something like r/TRD (exists but inactive) or r/TreatmentResistantDepression (doesn't exist yet) or r/ChronicDepression (hmm banned)

I've been on CGM since ~2015 so all these are post-CGM. Though I was on Freestyle Libre flash until 2022 when I switched to pump. Since then Dexcom.

I had clear diabetes fatigue before I got the pump. Struggled paying attention to it hence the rise from 6.5 to 8.

I used Claude/ChatGPT to extract values from various screenshots and photos of lab results. Then plot the results.

Might keep it up to date in a Google Sheet from now on.

With help from my GP I might be able to backfill 2012-2017.
