Although there was a slight increase in oral semaglutide exposure when taken in combination with omeprazole (possibly due to the increase in gastric pH), the increase observed was not statistically significant and was considered by the investigators to likely not be clinically relevant
TRT may reduce insulin resistance and enhance glucose uptake in muscle tissue, meaning sugar is used for energy rather than accumulating in the bloodstream
As research continues, peptides may become an important addition to our toolkit for managing chronic foot and ankle conditions
The favorable results from the placebo-controlled FLOW trial, conducted with semaglutide 1.0 mg in patients with T2D and chronic kidney disesase (CKD), are about to be disclosed, while ongoing dedicated trials will further explore the effects of OW semaglutide 2.4 mg (NCT04889183) and tirzepatide (NCT05536804) on kidney function parameters in obese/overweight individuals at high risk of CKD progression regardless of T2D
This is especially important for older people with type 2 diabetes, as they have an increased risk of osteoporosis and fractures (65)
