Is my clinic doctor going to drop me if I confess I'm running Chinese Reta?

I get my labs done through a regular clinic, but I’ve been running grey market Chinese Reta on the side because there is no way I'm paying those insane out-of-pocket pharma prices. My next checkup is coming up and my numbers are obviously going to look a lot different. I kind of just want to come clean so my doc has the actual full picture of what's in my system, but I’m paranoid they’re going to instantly fire me as a patient for using unregulated underground stuff. Has anyone here actually admitted to their provider that they use overseas GLPs, and did you get cut off or did they just give you the standard safety lecture and move on?

The practical experience of storing, reconstituting, and administering a peptide versus using an autoinjector pen is more different than it sounds

Moving from branded autoinjector to reconstituted peptide involves a set of skills nobody prepares you for. Calculating volumes, drawing accurately, avoiding contamination, storing reconstituted product correctly, rotating sites when you're handling a syringe rather than a pen.

Most of the information available assumes you already know basic injection technique and jumps straight to dosing. The gap between "I know how autoinjectors work" and "I can reliably and safely administer a reconstituted peptide" is real and probably accounts for a significant portion of inconsistent results people attribute to product quality.
