While GLP-1RAs effectively improve glycemic control and cause weight loss, potential safety concerns have arisen over the
Many GLP-1s have been approved for the treatment of T2D, but only liraglutide 3
4 mg of subcutaneous SGT weekly resulted in a mean 10% to 15% weight loss (10 to 15 kg) over 68 weeks versus 2% to 3% (3 to 4 kg) with placebo (PC)
As outlined in the previous articles in this supplement, the PIONEER program has established that oral semaglutide reduces glycated hemoglobin (HbA 1 c) and body weight when given to patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes (T2D) on diet and exercise alone, or who are receiving one or two oral antihyperglycemic agents, or
More patients on oral semaglutide achieved a weight loss of at least 5% and at least 10% versus those patients being treated with comparators
