To Stack or Not to Stack? That is the question... Tirz + Reta?

[Meggie]

I'm now on 1.5mg tirz+100mcg cagri weekly and far prefer it to anything that includes reta. I tried twice and it's just not for me.

What did your RS not like about Reta?

Yeah what's the difference between the two stacks that you don't like?

It caused blood sugar issues for me - and I don't have glucose issues normally (I'm not diabetic or pre-diabetic, fasting glucose is 80 without any peps). Reta caused much spiker blood sugar during the day and nearly a 10 point average increase in glucose (90 to 98); but then it would drop below 70 at night indicating hypoglycemia (I was using a CGM to track this). I also felt terrible, which is not surprising given what was happening with my glucose.

Cagri is an entirely different mechanism of action, and actually helps regulate glucagon, versus reta which stimulates glucagon.
