Limitations 1 : 1 : Results should be interpreted with caution because of the retrospective pre-post design without a control or comparator arm and the relatively short follow-up (6 months) Hypoglycemia may have been underreported, as only the clinically significant events were likely to have been captured (eg, no SMBG or CGM data) EMR database analysis as a potential for selection bias that cannot be controlled, as well as EMR data-capture challenges (eg, coding errors, no dosing data) Patients were mainly from the Northwest and Southern US states and therefore may not be representative of the US national landscape Sanofi-sponsored study *Follow-up period 6 months included GLP-1 RA + Toujeo (N=271)
Much of the clinical rationale rests on shorter-term pharmacology, mechanism-based reasoning, and accumulated compounding-pharmacy clinical experience rather than gold-standard RCT data
In addition to their significant A1C-lowering effects, the landmark clinical trials for these respective agents found substantial appetite suppression, less feeling of "reward" after eating, and subsequent weight loss
Dysfunction of these cells contributes to chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases such as gout, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), osteoarthritis (OA), cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS), inflammatory bowel disease, and neurodegeneration
