So What's The Latest New Drug For Treating Type 2?
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question đź’­

In May of this year the FDA approved another new drug for the treatment of Type 2.

The drugs name is Mounjaro (tirzepatide) and it's the latest to join the club of the weekly/monthly injectables that first hit the market about a decade back with Ozempic being the most popular in the particular class of drugs.

Of course, with each new drug in a given class there is usually some improvement over what the last drug did or it would hardly be worth marketing - why would anyone switch if it didn't… read more

How Does A New Drug Make It To Market?
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question đź’­

(this will be at least a 2 part)

Researchers are constantly looking for the next new treatment

Once researchers have developed a drug that they “think” might work or improve an existing one they will start a “pre-trial protocol” (animal testing)

This can take years or decades.

This is often when you hear about some wonder drug that “one day may do everything include make your morning coffee”

So IF it passes the pre-trial it goes to Phase 1 Trial

Phase 1 is tested on a small group – as few… read more

Trulicity Availability
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question đź’­

Is anyone else having a problem with their Trulicity prescription? I have been unable to get Trulicity 4.5. I was able to get a 1.5 thru another pharmacy. It is very frustrating. I have been told that it is a national issue and may take several months to overcome.

Jardiance And Other New Diabetic Drugs
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question đź’­

It seems that people I know who take Jardiance and Victoza and Trulicity seem to be able to eat more carbs than people just taking metformin or drugs like glipizide. Do these drugs allow you to eat more carbs and still keep your blood glucose in check?
