One concrete data point for the thread. Practical: whatever you change, write down the date and the reason. In three months the reason is what you will have forgotten, and the reason is what makes the record worth having.

Correct me if the detail matters more than I have assumed.

Following on from Dr.DermMIA — and this may be the naive question:

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

Adding the part of the answer the thread has not reached. Take it one variable at a time. Almost every unanswerable question in these threads is unanswerable because three things changed in the same fortnight, and no amount of subsequent argument can untangle them after the fact.

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.

Dr.KarenChen has the substance of this right. The condition it depends on is worth stating. The absorption variability is real, but it partly averages out over weeks — the steady-state trough is less erratic than any single day would suggest. Where it bites is in the first fortnight, when people conclude the tablet does nothing.
