Eligibility Criteria Eligibility criteria for all target trials included a prior diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, a recent medical encounter for type 2 diabetes diagnosis in the past year ( active type 2 diabetes ), prescriptions of antidiabetic medications (semaglutide, tirzepatide, or other antidiabetic medications) between December 2017 and January 2023, and diagnosis with at least 1 condition among the prescription guidelines for semaglutide and tirzepatide (eg, obesity, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, or an A 1C level 8.5%)
Research Findings Glutathione is one of the most important endogenous antioxidants found within living cells and serves a central role in maintaining cellular redox balance
However, oral semaglutide (Rybelsus) must be taken on an empty stomach with strict fasting requirements to ensure adequate absorption
Severe reactions are uncommon, but if a site reaction enlarges, spreads, is accompanied by fever, or shows pus, seek medical review and document onset and photos, especially if symptoms worsen after 24 to 48 hours
