Within a year of discontinuing GLP-1s, more than half of patients with overweight/obesity or T2DM regained weight, with the greatest regain occurring in those who initially lost the most weight. @nyuendocrine shines at #OW2025

@abdarabi Thank you, Dr. Arabi!

Many ppl with hypothyroidism attribute inability to lose excess wt to hypothyroidism. Our data suggest wt and body composition changes in response to lira are comparable in those with or w/o hypothyroidism. https://t.co/q24WgZx6M5

🚨 Real-World GLP-1 Data: Vanderbilt Obesity Clinic Study (n=2,306)

Clinical trials showed 15–21% weight loss with semaglutide & tirzepatide. But how do patients actually fare in practice?
- - -
Key Findings:
📊 Median treatment duration: 10.7 months (50% discontinued by 12 months)
💉 Only 23% reached semaglutide 2.4 mg, 28% reached tirzepatide 15 mg
⚖️ Weight loss for those who continued treatment:
• 6 months: –9.4%
• 12 months: –14.4%
🏥 13.6% had medication-related ER visits (mostly GI side effects)

Context:
This was not a typical setting—patients had multidisciplinary support and NO-COST medication access through employer insurance bundles.

Reality Check:
�� With the right care model, real-world outcomes can approach RCTs
❌ Most patients never reach target doses
❌ Half stop treatment within a year

👉 The gap between “can work” and “does work” remains large. Sustained success appears tied to comprehensive care models that most patients can’t easily access.

@BevTchangMD Hi Bev, the difference between the 2 studies may be explained by the inclusion of functional impairment. It does not seem like functional impairment was included in Shen et al's paper.

@MichaelAlbertMD 😂😂 I was asked this question yesterday during a talk. My response was “LV mass is not a clinical outcome that I typically look for or know how to interpret its clinical significance”

[Tariq Chukir @TChukir]

I am delighted to have had the opportunity to serve as both a speaker and an advisory board member at the AACE MENA conference in Dubai. It was an honor to present on the impact of muscle changes in obesity and weight loss, and testosterone misuse in men.

@BevTchangMD @Medscape “Ask if they have third-party confirmation of potency, stability, and sterility testing of the final product.” Which third party do you trust to confirm potency stability and sterility? Doubt Novo or Lilly are willing to do it 😂

[Tariq Chukir @TChukir]

@EricTopol No doubt resistance training is beneficial. However, I doubt the 6w difference observed at 4 years between HRT and Control is clinically significant in this group of physically active elderly (avg 10k steps per day witb BMI of 25).
