The disparity of fast food swamps significantly affecting pediatric patients with T1D but not those with T2D came as a surprise to researchers.

SGLT-2 inhibitors and GLP-1 agonists were associated with 1% and 0.6% reductions in all-cause mortality, respectively.

In a new study, the GLP-1 receptor agonist semaglutide was associated with greater weight loss than placebo -- and liraglutide.
