Best advice I ever got was to always get copies of all my blood test results
Semaglutide The active ingredient in Wegovy and Ozempic The mean change in body weight from baseline to week 68 was -14.9% in the semaglutide group, as compared with -2.4% with placebo. STEP 1, Wilding JPH et al., NEJM 2021;384:989-1002 Tirzepatide The active ingredient in Mounjaro and Zepbound At 72 weeks, the mean percentage change in weight was -20.9% with 15 mg of tirzepatide, as compared with -3.1% with placebo. SURMOUNT-1, Jastreboff AM et al., NEJM 2022;387:205-216 These figures are trial averages for the branded formulations
Those who took tirzepatide experienced greater insulin sensitivity per unit of weight loss than the semaglutide group
