Highlights from this day
- willow_waits — why is the oral dose in mg so much bigger than the injectable one 11:42
- willow_waits — unrelated but my weekly log on oral is noisier than my injectable log ever was, same scales same mornings 11:49
- willow_waits — sorry to jump in OASIS ran under the same sort of fasting conditions, thats not the variable between the two 11:53
- tyne_tracks — absorption is the variable, not the molecule. same tablet, different morning, different result 12:19
i take mine at 6am, is 30 minutes really enough

*Medutest not the other one
coffee doesnt count
orforglipron is a small molecule rather than a peptide, which is why the fasting conditions differ
back after 20 months, has anything changed on the oral side

went back to injecting
the non peptide orals are the interesting part of this channel now, not oral semaglutide
my oral results were inconsistent week to week and i eventually decided it was me, not the tablet, ymmv
