Exactly. Chronic conditions require chronic management.
Imagine if the headline was
"people who come off statins have higher cholesterol levels than people who lowered cholesterol with diet and exercise."
That's obviously stupid, so why are we treating GLP-1s differently?
I also hear people say things like "GLP-1s shouldn't exist because you'll gain weight when you go off them" which is as nonsensical (to me) as saying "you shouldn't exercise because the benefits of exercise will stop if you don't continue exercising."
It's only GLP-1s that have this "moralizing" associated with them.
- flowerthoughts 9mo agoOr: "people who come off vaccinations still don't get sick, compared to those who continue taking vaccines" You have a strong bias towards thinking GLP-1 behaves like a statin rather than a personality altering drug (or a vaccine, or nicotine patches.) Please provide a basis for this bias. We're not treating GLP-1 different because it's a different thing. We're treating it differently, because we don't know if it's an analogous thing without this type of study.
