Researchers in Tübingen have found that people with prediabetes can reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 71% through lifestyle changes that normalize blood sugar levels, even if they do not lose weight. The study emphasizes the role of improved fat distribution over mere weight reduction. This challenges current guidelines focused primarily on shedding pounds.
Higher semaglutide dose boosts weight loss in obesity trials
Two phase 3 clinical trials show that a 7.2 mg weekly dose of semaglutide leads to greater weight loss than the approved 2.4 mg dose in adults with obesity, including those with type 2 diabetes. Nearly half of participants on the higher dose lost 20% or more of their body weight over 72 weeks. The results, published in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology, suggest improved metabolic health with a favorable safety profile.
