Careful with treating an unchanged LDL-C as a failure. If ApoB and triglycerides both fell, the particle picture improved regardless of what the calculated LDL says.

Omega-3 index improvement on the lipid panel: often overlooked but my omega-3 index went from 4.0% to 7.5% over 11 months. I supplemented with 2g EPA+DHA daily.
This matters because omega-3s are anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective, complementing the GLP-1 benefits. Target omega-3 index is >8%. Combined with the triglyceride reduction from the medication, my lipid profile is the best it's been in decades.

Before/after bloodwork compilation for the lipid panel — everything in one place for those who want comprehensive data:
| Category | Marker | Before | After 10mo | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Metabolic | A1C | 8.6% | 5.6% | ⬇️ 1.8% |
| Metabolic | Fasting Glucose | 133 | 87 | ⬇️ 38 |
| Lipids | LDL | 176 | 105 | ⬇️ 58 |
| Lipids | Triglycerides | 278 | 123 | ⬇️ 108 |
| Inflammation | hsCRP | 7.5 | 1.1 | ⬇️ 5.0 |
Every single metabolic marker improved. This is why I'm a believer in this therapy.
