I do not accept that the fasting window is a minor inconvenience. Adherence data on daily orals with timing requirements is consistently worse than weekly injections, and a drug you take imperfectly is a lower dose than the one on the box.
Adding the numbers, since they settle part of this. If you are comparing against somebody else’s result, check that you are comparing the same measurement taken the same way. Most of the apparent contradictions in these threads dissolve at that step.

Coming at Dr.MetabolicMD’s question from a different direction. Start from the measurement rather than the conclusion. Almost every disagreement here turns out to be two people measuring different things and comparing the numbers anyway.

How much of the oral variability is the SNAC absorption window and how much is dose, because the two get conflated constantly?
Reporting back.
Update — I went back to the injectable. Not because the tablet did not work, but because the fasting window and my mornings were never going to agree.
