1. In this randomized controlled trial, tirzepatide produced substantially greater reductions in HbA1c, body weight, waist circumference, and BMI than intensified conventional care (ICC) in adults with early type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled on metformin. 2. A significantly higher proportion of participants treated with tirzepatide, compared with ICC, achieved normoglycemia (HbA1c <5.7%). Evidence Rating Level: Read More

Substantial and sustained weight loss has been linked to a reduced risk of cancer and cancer-related death, mainly in women. Two new studies now provide clues to why the risk is reduced—and suggest that gender, metabolism and genetics may play a crucial role.
Scientists discover why Ozempic and Wegovy weight loss eventually plateausScientists discover why Ozempic and Wegovy weight loss eventually plateaus
New NIH research reveals that semaglutide sparks different responses inside appetite-controlling brain cells, offering fresh insight into why GLP-1 weight-loss drugs don’t work the same for everyone. Scientists also found a possible way to extend the drugs’ effects, potentially helping patients push past weight-loss plateaus.
