Does retatrutide lower blood glucose levels?

One user reported higher readings after switching to tirzepatide and lower ones on retatrutide. Others pointed out that tirzepatide was approved for diabetes and has evidence of lowering A1c, while a couple of people shared that retatrutide reduced their own fasting levels. Several posts treated the question as obvious or repetitive.

After moving over to tirzepitide my blood sugar numbers rose. Has anyone noticed the same? On retatrutide they appear to drop for me. What have others seen?

Has this been shared by another member within the last few hours?

Actually no, tirzepatide received its first approval for diabetes care and the version that cut A1c or average blood glucose. Research findings run counter to what you observed.

Was that the problem? Or maybe something to do with pressure in the veins? Own a device for checking sugar levels? The monitor I use links up fine to an app on my phone.

Another one of these I guess.

It feels like this ought to pair with wondering whether liquid feels moist. The leading search hit brought it up.

That scene from the classic space series left me smacking my own forehead in disbelief and it earns a full ten bonus marks from me.

For the past nine months I've taken reta, and throughout that period my blood sugar when fasting has stayed in the prediabetic range.

It strikes me as something funny mainly at the expense of the less experienced ones.
