    GLP-1 check-in: How's it going?

    DEXA at 14 weeks is a solid body composition checkpoint when stacking with tirz - the composition split between fat and muscle loss is what matters most, not just the scale number.

    V2 pen dose accuracy?

    Pens and cartridges calibrate differently - that's why V2 accuracy is a separate question.

    GLP-1 meds: Insurance coverage?

    $499 for three months from an online provider is around $166/month - the per-month math is the right comparison frame. Compounding pharmacy documentation for reimbursement varies by plan; some plans reimburse with a superbill, others won't touch compound.
