Diabetes treatment is constantly evolving, with new therapeutic options emerging to improve patient outcomes. Recent studies have focused on GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonists, a category of drugs that mimic the actions of naturally occurring hormones involved in bloodsugar regulation. These novel agents demonstrate substantial potential in controllin
Emerging GLP-1 and GIP Agonists: Retaglutide and Tirzepatide for Type 2 Diabetes
Retaglutide and tirzepatide represent a novel category of medications known as dual GLP-1 and GIP agonists. These agents regulate both glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), two hormones that play a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels. In individuals with type 2 diabetes, these hormones are
