Diagnosis
Management
Consider GLP-1 RAs for weight management and cardiovascular risk reduction in patients with a history of cardiovascular disease.
Monitoring & Follow-up
Risks
Patient & Prescribing Data
Individuals with type 2 diabetes and obesity.
Emerging therapies include dual and triple agonists, enhancing treatment options.
Clinical Best Practices
Educate patients on the benefits and potential side effects of new therapies to enhance adherence.
Researchers found that patients with higher waist circumference and lower grip strength had the greatest risk for developing type 2 diabetes during long-term follow-up.
Metabolomics analysis identified higher uric acid levels in patients with lipedema and lymphedema, although associations weakened following adjustment for renal insufficiency.
