Adding my two cents: I keep a food and weight log to spot the trends, not the daily noise. Plateaus are the worst, hang in there. You've got this. Everyone's different of course.

Reading this and Sending solidarity, this part is genuinely hard. A1C came back normal at my last check-up. Rooting for you. Everyone's different of course.

For what it's worth, The jump to the next dose was smoother than I feared. I plateaued until the dose increase kicked things back in gear. This community is the best. Definitely run it by your own prescriber though.

Did the nausea ease up after the first few weeks for you. Rooting for you.
