Agreed completely. Don't touch growth hormone secretagogues without baseline IGF-1 and follow-up labs. A lot of people respond way lower than 2 mg a day. Even 500-750 mcg daily tanked my HRV and sleep.
 
That stabilization window is consistent across most accounts. Diet changes alongside tend to be what locks in the feeling.
 
The same dose bump lands completely differently depending on where you started - some people barely notice a step up.
 
Having a partner along changes the whole dynamic - shared habits at home are way easier to maintain than going against the current.
 
Being able to manage weight through exercise and strict diet until the mid 40s and then pre-diabetes changing that is such a common story and the reason the medication approval history starting with diabetes matters. The OP's year on tirzepatide for T2D with the A1C result is exactly the outcome pathway the medication was originally designed for. How are things tracking for you now?
 
Mom was doubtful at first, right up until I hit the one-month mark and had dropped 9 lbs. I'm male, told her to hold off judging until I had more results before she'd even consider it for herself. She hadn't come across retatrutide before, but was familiar with tirzepatide.

Walked her through the upsides, weight loss, better blood sugar, quieter food noise, less pain, reduced inflammation, and the downsides too, skin sensitivity, stomach issues, elevated heart rate, that kind of thing. On her own she went digging on video platforms and stumbled onto a local personality who talks online about this drug class and its benefits.

Eventually she decided to give it a shot herself! So far she's down 11 lbs in around five weeks, and somehow sleeping better on top of it.
