Who Did You Tell About Your GLP-1?

I didn't volunteer any info, but if they asked, I tell them

The media had been talking about Ozempic for a while, and Novo Nordisk became Europe’s largest market capitalisation for several years. It was hard to miss. Then there was talk of Mounjaro, and a few months ago, of Retatrutide.

I did a little research on Reta and came across the subreddits, Pep-pedia, and finally this forum.

I was prescribed Victoza and then Mounjaro. Officially, I'm taking Mounjaro. Since it isn't covered in my case (I have diabetes but my BMI is below the threshold), there's no record of my purchases.

As for the powder vials, no one can see them easily. But I have a ready-made white lie.
I've reconnected with some old contacts in the pharmaceutical industry, and I buy directly from the subcontractor's factory.
That's entirely plausible because about 25 years ago I ran a biotechnology company, and we had oligonucleotides (PCR primers) manufactured in China.
I'd say it's GL in Shanghái, which is the world's largest peptide manufacturer.
There's a good chance that many of the vials come from there. It's no big deal to get a 50kg bucket out of a monthly production run of one to two metric tons.
