Many of us in medicine harbor strong feelings about what we’d be willing to go through in our health crisis. None of us truly knows what we’ll choose until we’re staring down the bull in the ring.

As GLP-1 receptor agonists and dual incretin agents become more common in treating obesity and type 2 diabetes, primary care providers are handling more medication switches.
The reason may be insurance coverage, ongoing gastrointestinal side effects, inadequate response, or the ugar control or weight support. Whatever the driver, switching is not simply trading one prescription for another. It requires planning around half-lives, dose history, side effects, and the risk for blood sugar swings.
Recent guidance from the American Diabetes Association’s Standards of Care in Overweight and Obesity also stresses a person-centered approach, including access, tolerability, side effects, and patient preferences. mdsc.pe/4ADEO8B

Thoughtful insight from #HopkinsGIM's Dr. Selvi Rajagopal. hopkinsmedicine.org/health/expert-…
Menopause can make weight management feel harder, but it’s not just about willpower. Hormonal changes, aging, and muscle loss all play a role. Strength training, regular movement, quality sleep and a healthy diet can make a difference. hopkinsmedicine.org/health/expert-…
