[QUOTE="WPLG, post: 29657, member: 158"] The Food and Drug Administration has approved a novel dual-targeted treatment for Type 2 diabetes. Endocrinologist Dr. Paul Jellinger, with The Center for Diabetes and Endocrine Care, said the once weekly injectable drug has been shown to improve blood sugar control and provide other benefits to patients. “It helps release insulin, reduces appetite results in weight loss and does not produce hypoglycemia. So here’s a drug that targets both pathways --the GLP pathway and the GIP pathway, and you get an expanded benefit,” he said.
