Type 2 diabetic, diagnosed 4 years ago. Was on metformin + insulin, A1C stuck at 7.8. Started tirz 22 months ago. Latest A1C: 6.0. My endo is thrilled. Was able to reduce insulin by 30%. Also down 29 lbs. Anyone else seeing dramatic A1C improvements?

I got my COA from the vendor but also sent a sample to an independent lab for verification. Both matched — 99.8% purity. If you're spending that much, the extra $50 for testing is worth it.

I've been at 5mg for 4 months now. The jump from 2.5 to 5 was noticeable — more appetite suppression but also more nausea for the first two weeks. It settled down after that. I'd say go for it if you're stalling at the current dose.

I've been at 10mg for 5 months now. The jump from 2.5 to 10 was noticeable — more appetite suppression but also more nausea for the first two weeks. It settled down after that. I'd say go for it if you're stalling at the current dose.
