Mounjaro Beats Ozempic, So Why Isn't It More Popular? www.medscape.com July 20, 2024, 12:24 p.m.
I can explain that I prescribed a glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist because the patient had diabetes and was overweight, and multiple studies show that this class of drug leads to weight loss and reduced mortality risk. But then I get the follow-up: Sure, but why THAT GLP-1 drug? Why did you pick semaglutide (Ozempic) over tirzepatide (Mounjaro)? Here's where I run out of good answers. Sometimes I choose a drug because that's what the patient's insurance has on their formulary. Sometimes it's because it's cheaper in general. Sometimes, it's just force of habit. I know the correct dose, I have experience with the side effects — it's comfortable.

In June, the FDA released a warning about the new antiobesity medications, stating it had received reports of adverse events after people self-administered semaglutide from a compounding pharmacy. The warning also states that compounding pharmacies may be selling salt forms of the active ingredient, including semaglutide sodium and semaglutide acetate, though the FDA is not aware of any basis for compounding a drug using semaglutide salts that would meet federal requirements.

Insulin-secreting skin implant found to reverse diabetes in mice interestingengineering.com Dec. 6, 2023, 9:36 p.m.
The work is based on an invention by Minglin Ma of Cornell who conceived of a detachable polymer thread containing thousands of islet cells covered by a thin hydrogel covering that could be inserted into a patient's belly without inducing an immune reaction. Shapiro was already working on a diabetes skin implant with similar qualities and upon stumbling on Ma’s work had the idea of combining the two approaches. This proved very successful. “And indeed it worked! By combining the two, it really did improve the skin site for engrafting cells without the need for anti-rejection drugs. The data are very compelling,”.

À quelle température doit-on conserver l’insuline ? www.le-diabete-dans-tous-ses-etats.precidiab.org Feb. 4, 2023, 2:16 p.m.
Les fabricants d’insuline ont coutume d’indiquer que les flacons non ouverts d’insuline doivent être conservés au réfrigérateur à une température comprise entre 2°C et 8°C et qu’un flacon déjà ouvert ne doit pas être exposé à des températures supérieures à 25°C-30°C pendant sa durée d’utilisation qui, selon le produit, peut varier de dix jours à huit semaines.

Artificial pancreas successfully treats type 1 diabetes interestingengineering.com Jan. 17, 2023, 2:16 p.m.
A glucose sensor is placed under the skin to automatically calculate, with an algorithm, how much insulin to deliver via a pump. This means people with type 1 diabetes no longer have to closely monitor levels of sugar in their blood manually and take daily injections. They can also monitor readings on their smartphones through a system where they upload the number of carbohydrates estimated to be consumed during a meal.
