Fantastic progress! Looking good! Making it under 170 is a big deal - that's the dream for me too someday.

Three months to a full A1C point is the result 5mg is calibrated for.

Starting at 13 leaves a lot of room for a dramatic improvement on the first recheck - the drop usually surprises people.

The radiologist-ordering-labs workaround is creative but ultimately not sustainable as a primary care structure - a good endocrinologist would transform the A1C trajectory work you are already doing. Worth putting real effort into finding one who actually manages metabolic disease rather than just reviewing results.

Yeah, compound sema maxing out at 2.5 and then switching to compound tirz at 10 and titrating up is a pretty standard progression when sema hits its ceiling. The OP's A1C drop in three months on sema is the direct result of what happens to glucose when appetite suppression reduces intake consistently. What's the A1C story been since the tirz switch?
