I’m taking 500 mg a day, usually after lunch. I’m also taking 2.5 Tirzepatide, now I’m somewhat worried about going blind…

Going blind because of hypoglycemia?

I personally experienced effects of hypoglycemia with Sema (blurred vision lasting 30-60 seconds)until I dropped the metformin.

Never happened again at any dose
of Sema or Tirz since.

What were your sugars running? You stayed low all day?

Yes? Although last time I checked my fasting glucose was around 85. Not bad.

85 isn’t hypoglycemic. I average mid 80’s myself. I check mine 3-6 times a day. My fasting morning glucose is about 86-90 though most mornings depending on how long I’ve slept for.

Glucometers are very cheap and lot of insurances give them away. My insurance gave me a meter and all the lancets/testing strips. Either way they are very cheap on Amazon.

BPC likely is bullshit. I would question why big pharma' hasn't touched it with a 10-foot pole. I don't join people's conversations and be a little shit. It appears to be innocuous, hence my indifference.

I responded to another person saying more nuance is required, you joined and said it's the "goat" depending on the field, and I responded that I'm talking about benifits that transcend weight loss. Then, you made the claim that "Switch to Fatty Liver and Reta beats the others..". I asked if that claim was based off anecdote or evidence, and was genuinely curious if I was wrong and there was studies regarding such. You then linked a study that discussed HbA1c -- not NAFLD, and implied that Retatrutide was better at HbA1c reduction. I then pointed out that that was incorrect, based on the limited data your article provided.

Just for in case you forgot. Now please explain at what point I said or implied that your statement was unsafe. It's simply illogical and unsupported. It's also bad principle for the forum as a whole, in my opinion.

Sure thing.

Your other claim of "For stuff like type 2 diabetes, Sema remains slightly ahead" is also unfounded. I'll let chatGPT explain.

i've had Fantastic success with bpc157, ymmv,

You could use metformin for glucose control but then there are other side effects correct?

As a bodybuilder you mean?

Glp1 have a plethora of benefit that Metformin don't have. Decrease of systemic inflammation, liver defatting, cardiovascular protection, a lot stronger glucose control.

Metformin impair resistance training as well and it's not that strong in glucose control compared to glp1 and it's missing all those other benefits a glp1 have.

Of course there are the side effect of GLP1 to take into account, so it's always a balance that need to be Found

She ain't t charging me anything she my homegirl she sending me some from some place called sky peptides??? But she said that place ZYH or whatever was cool but that pbg was like shopping in a thrift store that smells like pee..... hahaha She is a close friend so we don't charge each othe for stuff.. although dhe never really needs anything from me..

What the f dude?! My friends don’t give me free shit, let alone top quality stuff like that.
I need to meet this girl.

Pre meal it was 90-95 on average.

Full disclosure, this was also prior
to understanding the importance of pharmacokinetics (PK) and injecting a 2.4mg dose with just .20ml. Had I used the same .75ml as Novo does at that dose, the Sema would've been absorbed much more gradually, and perhaps avoided that problem.

It always happened within 20-30 minutes of injecting, so PK could've played a role, Scary shit though, since it doesn't take long for hypoglycemia induced nerve damage to occur in the eyes.

Welp, reality has set in! Tracy is gone! Good luck everyone

Since you know all… how much bac do I need to use for 2.5 of tirz? Thanks in advance!

 

[Ghoul]

Since you know all… how much bac do I need to use for 2.5 of tirz?

I certainly don't "know all" lol, but for all doses of Tirz up to 15mg it's .5ml.

When you expect to use multiple dose amounts from the same vial, dilute with enough for the lowest dose to be .5ml, since over dilution isn't really going to cause any problems, but excessively concentrated certainly can, for all peptides. Not just affecting. PK but aggregates are far more likely to form in highly concentrated solutions. Also, highly concentrate peptides injected sub-q are more likely to induce immunogenicity, since they can be more easily transported to lymph nodes, where the immune system "learns" how to effectively remove the peptide the next time it appears, leading to the more serious, long term type of immunity that slowly builds up and steadily reduces efficacy over months or years.

Ugh… was doing 0.2 ml… because cheap me was trying to get the highest amount of product in the least amount of water…

Do you have any indication for HgH, does that work the same way? Sharing is caring!

Didn't you and others develop full body skin sensitivity for some unknown reason?

It’s funny you mentioned skin sensitivity. I’ve been taking a high dose of Sema, and I just started experiencing that occasionally on my back and arms (if that’s the same thing you’re referring to). It’s the only effect/side effect I’ve noticed so far. It kind of feels like goosebumps or a sunburn, but without the pain.
Sema still, it hasn’t helped with appetite control, but now with this tingle sensation I know there has to be something in those vials besides baby laxative.

10IU 0.5ml if I remember correctly is the minimum recommended dilution

Exactly the same principles apply to HGH.

Using the highest concentration of somatropin in a commercial formula it comes out to .05ml per IU. So 10iu would be .5ml. Keep in mind though, this is with numerous excipients UGL doesn't contain to control aggregates. I would just shoot for .5ml at any dose below 10iu, It'll keep your reconstituted peptide in better condition for longer than a more concentrated vial.

Aggregates form over time, the "incubation" period, and especially if you're filtering a vial once (vs per dose aka "bedside filtration"), a higher dilution rate buys more time.

Yea. It doesn’t have to be full body sensitivity. I’d sometimes have it just on my legs, sometimes on my arms and legs, and sometimes pretty much everywhere. It’s mostly subsided now after over 12+ months of GLP use.

Vision loss: GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic linked to 3 eye conditions

A new review reports that nine people taking semaglutide and tirzepatide — the active ingredient in GLP-1 medications — experienced vision issues, including three potentially blinding eye conditions.

www.medicalnewstoday.com

Following this news that sudden drop in BG with glp1 drugs can create this issues, reta become even more interesting as it doesn't allow your body to go hypoglicemic. That's why ppl find it doesn't reduce your BG much.... For what I have understood it's not really it doesn't reduce it much.. it is more a balancer of BG. So compares to tirz and sema that will just reduce it as much as they can so unless you are counterbalancing it with loads of carb or induced insulin resistance (HGH) you can go hypo.

Reta instead as soon as your body goes below a threshold it starts releasing glucose from the liver and raise the BG.

Many ppl that were suffering from hypoglicemia fixed their BG using reta

My vision has definitely changed.
Background: Taking tirz for about 6 months. Initially from Henry Meds (compounding Rx) then over to QSC. Down 30lbs, 230-200lbs so far. Never diabetic. No high BP issues ever or other conditions that might mess up my vision.
Had to go out and get a new eyeglass Rx last week.
Told doc about weight loss/tirz, and he said "yeah, that's probably why. we're seeing vision changes with people on GLPs"
He attributed it to "less inflammation and less physical pressure on the eyes."
Guess we'll see if this is a problem or not down the road. Maybe just fat people getting unfat vs some new side effect of the drugs. I'll let you guys know if I go blind.
