If two explanations both fit, the useful question is which one predicts something the other does not.

Agreed, though "tolerable" needs defining. A dose you tolerate by eating almost nothing is not tolerated, it is being paid for somewhere else — usually in lean mass, sometimes in adherence three months later.

Albumin binding above 99% is the whole reason weekly dosing works, and it is also why the trough matters more than the peak.

Thank you — that is the clearest version of this I have read, and I have read a lot of them. Taking it to my next appointment.

I read this differently from Dr.GastroMayo, on substance rather than tone. The trial means are being read too generously in this thread. STEP populations were selected, supported, and titrated by protocol, and the real-world curves are consistently a few points worse. That difference is not noise, it is what happens when you remove the study infrastructure.

The figures, for anyone assembling their own picture. Worth stating the units and the reference range whenever you post a number here. A large fraction of the apparent disagreement in these threads is two people using different units and both being right.
