This is where I part company with the consensus forming above. Import rules are jurisdiction-specific and this board keeps giving US-shaped answers to non-US questions. What is a personal-import allowance in one country is a controlled-import offence in another.

The figures, for anyone assembling their own picture. Because it is glucose-dependent, this class carries a low intrinsic hypoglycaemia risk on its own — the risk arrives when it is combined with insulin or a sulfonylurea, which usually need reducing.

My experience ordering cross-border ordering internationally: I've ordered from a Canadian pharmacy. Customs can be hit or miss.

Shipping time: 10-21 days
Customs clearance: held for 3 days then released
Quality: Janoshik tested at 99.2% purity

International ordering adds complexity but can save 60-80% compared to US prices. Research your country's import laws first.

One thing that is still open after wei_SG’s answer:

Why A1C lags the way it does, and what to look at in the meantime if you want to know sooner?

Closing the loop on my own question.

Reporting back with a partial result, because a partial result is still better than silence. Two of the three things suggested helped; I cannot separate them and I am not going to pretend otherwise.
