METS-IR–body shape products

upin humans1

1 study
  1. METS-IR–body shape products are associated with progression to diabetes in humans (Chinese adults with baseline prediabetes; maintained prediabetes as the reference) (ORs per standard deviation 1.46–1.53; standardized progression probability differences 14.8–17.1 percentage points).

    “All four baseline products were associated with higher progression odds, with odds ratios per standard deviation ranging from 1.46 to 1.53”

Semaglutide

downin humans1

1 study
  1. Semaglutide lowers the risk of progression to diabetes in humans (prediabetes; compared with placebo).

    “semaglutide 2.4 mg significantly increased regression to normoglycemia (up to 84 %) and reduced the risk of progression to diabetes compared with placebo.”
