Has anyone dealt with igf-1 levels on glp-1?

The single most useful discipline is bringing the whole panel to a clinician rather than one flagged value.

Shot day Thursday report relevant to baseline bloodwork:

Week 36. Currently on 5mg. Down 22 lbs from starting weight of 234 lbs.

This week's observations: Energy levels excellent, zero nausea.

Labs due next week — looking forward to seeing the metabolic panel. I'll post results in the Lab Results section when they come in.

One thing that is still open after pete_nash’s answer:

How often to repeat it, because quarterly seems to be the convention and I cannot find the reasoning?

Blood work came back perfect. baseline bloodwork + this community = winning. 🏆

OP back with an update, since a thread like this is useless without one.

Took the whole panel in rather than the one flagged line, and the conversation lasted two minutes instead of generating three more tests.

Agreed, and reference ranges are laboratory-specific. Comparing your number to somebody else's range, or to a screenshot from another country, is how people convince themselves something is wrong.
