A group of global experts in #type2diabetes have come together to deliver an up to date overview of the health condition that affects millions of people around the world in @DiseasePrimers

Together they examine

Our new article on GLP-1 RAs and metabolic dysfunction:

GLP-1-based therapies “will become crucial in numerous guidelines of obesity-related complications across clinical specialities.” In doing so, management will become cause-specific.
