Medication holiday — did you take a break? How did it go?

Before and after labs from today: Total cholesterol down 38 points. LDL down 22. Triglycerides down 94. A1C: 6.1 → 5.5. Blood pressure: was 138/88, now 118/76. This is after 7 months and 55 lbs lost. I started on Ozempic for T2D and it's turned into so much more.

This is the thread I needed today. Thank you for sharing this honestly.

Prior auth is such a game. Three denials before approval — persistence is key.
