Description
Real-world comparison of oral versus injectable semaglutide for the reduction of hemoglobin A(1C) and weight in patients with type 2 diabetes
In the SURPASS 2 study, the mean HbA1c levels were 8.28%, and the mean body weight was 93.7 kg
Cutaneous effects from GLP-1 agonists were less frequent than in DPP-4 inhibitors
