Why did my LDL-C move after eight weeks on semaglutide?

Asked 18 Feb 2026Modified 5 months agoViewed 4.1k times

Setup, so nobody has to ask: LDL-C · eight weeks · semaglutide.

I noticed this today and I have not touched anything since, in case the state is diagnostic.

I have not discarded anything yet, so a test is still possible if that is the recommendation.

Is this recoverable, and how would I tell?
