Hi!

I'm Alex, and in all likelihood I'm dealing with diabetes plus diabetes foot (no formal diagnosis — who else out there avoids the doctor?). Through most of 2025 I've been digging deep into GLP research. My very first pin of retatrutide went in on NOV 18, 2025, and I'm loving it. I began microdosing at .25mg every 5 days; after 2 week it wasn't doing anything for me, so I moved up to a .5 shot, which did work, but I wasn't happy with it. Then I came across a GLP concentration plotter and switched my dose to .33mg every 3 days. That held the concentration between .9mg-1.02mg, and I felt much better about it. Following a 6wk run, I've just doubled my dose to .66mg every 3 days — we'll see how it goes. It keeps the blood sugar down. Mornings are still a touch too high, though. On the weight side, I never weighed myself. Still haven't — my bad. Before this I'd been 250 pounds my whole life (6'2", 60yrs now), but the visual change is obvious in my face and belly. Thank,s Reta!
 
Thanks for the guidance — and if I ever sound like I've got it all figured out, please set me straight whenever I'm off base.

I suppose I ought to share a bit more background..... Back in my 30's, I was the one giving my father his insulin injections. So yes, I'm well aware that .25mg equals 250mcg. And I know a mL (or CC) is made up of 100 units.

Before joining, I spent a couple months reading along here (plus plenty of other spots). Every so often I want to pose a question while looking into other peptides, and I figured this was a better place to do that than Reddit.

At the pace I'm going, I've already bought enough R-20 to cover this year, but trying other peptides does appeal to me. After all, it was diabetes and digging into GLP's that led me to stumble onto the whole peptide world in the first place. Thanks again for any pointers.
