anyone dosing oral because of a needle problem rather than preference

Highlights from this day
- fasting_insulin — changed my mind on the plain water rule after reading how SNAC works, its not a formality coffee is not plain water. i tried it for a month and my results got worse 17:10
- split_dose_sam — the oral mg number is bigger because almost none of it gets in, thats the entire reason, thats one data point 17:19
- identity_shift — took 9 weeks before i saw anything on oral, roughly twice what the injection took me, your mileage will differ 17:53
- identity_shift — does coffee count as plain water, asking for obvious reasons 19:37
technique probably
thirty minutes, no cheating
PIONEER was the original oral semaglutide programme and OASIS looked at the higher oral doses
PIONEER not OASIS
did OASIS use the same fasting conditions as the earlier work
not a peptide

slightly off topic but anyone switched from injectable to oral and kept the same effect

coffee is not plain water. i tried it for a month and my results got worse
splitting a dose made the absorption problem worse rather than better in my own log
why does the same tablet do different things week to week
my oral results were inconsistent week to week and i eventually decided it was me, not the tablet
the oral mg number is bigger because almost none of it gets in, thats the entire reason, thats one data point
is the inconsistency people report about the drug or about how they take it
plain water only

nobody should copy my morning routine, but the timer is the bit i would keep
the 30 minutes starts when you swallow it, and i set a timer because i cannot be trusted
tea also does not count, in case anyone was hoping
big mg small dose
went back to injecting

took mine with breakfast once by accident and that week was a write off
did anyone go back to injecting after trying oral
is there any point splitting an oral dose
