They are very bitter - but a good Placebo should match with a bitter flavour. I would not rely on taste to be certain !

I haven't found the 14mg ones bitter, either. In fact, I thought at first that I must be on the placebo as they didn't have the bitter taste in the back of my throat, and it wasn't until I started feeling sick later that day that I thought I must be on the semaglutide! Never thought I'd ever be thankful for nausea!!! And the side-effects since then have convinced me that I can't possibly be on the placebo!
My blood sugar went up coming off the run in dose.

I have only just started measuring mine, more for interest than anything else. I get my hbAc1 tested once a year - I asked the nurse today (had a blood test for another reason) why it wasn't tested every three months, and she said if they got an anomalous reading they would, but as it was. But they never did, even when it was supposed to be through the roof. Oh well, it was normal last time they deigned to test it....
Usually get a hbAc1 blood test twice a year
