Orforglipron is the more interesting oral story because it is not a peptide at all.

I do not accept that the fasting window is a minor inconvenience. Adherence data on daily orals with timing requirements is consistently worse than weekly injections, and a drug you take imperfectly is a lower dose than the one on the box.

Adding the numbers, since they settle part of this. One practical note: write down what you did and when, before you need it. Reconstructing a timeline from memory three months later is how people end up unable to answer the one question that would have resolved it.

There is a second half to this that has not been said yet. The honest answer is that the effect is real, the magnitude is contested, and the individual variation is larger than either. Those three things can all be true at once, and most arguments here are two people holding different parts of that.

A narrower follow-up, since the general answer is now clear:

How much of the oral variability is the SNAC absorption window and how much is dose, because the two get conflated constantly?

OP back with an update, since a thread like this is useless without one.

Update — I went back to the injectable. Not because the tablet did not work, but because the fasting window and my mornings were never going to agree.
