Type-II Diabetes
Clients with Type-II diabetes (DM-2) have more GLP-1 agonist options than those without it.
Both Semaglutide and Terzepitide are approved for the treatment of DM-2. So clients with DM-2 have an easier time getting the medication approved through their insurance carriers. We help clients get their medication approved.
Both Semaglutide and Terzepitide have brand name version of the drug that are FDA approved for treatment of DM-2. Semaglutide has Ozempic and Terzepitide has Mounjaro brand names approved. Each drug also has a brand name approved specifically for weight loss; Semaglutide has Wegovy and Terzepitide has Zepbound brand names.
Clients with DM-2 can improve glycemic control and reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events with the use of GLP-1 agonists. They will lower blood glucose levels, hemoglobin A1c level, and reduce body weight.
There is a risk of hypoglycemia when combining GLP-1 agonists with other diabetes medications such as insulin or sulfonylureas like Glipizide or Glyburide.
