Preprint: computational studyInterventions

Abstract

Objective: To investigate the extent to which attenuation of weight loss observed in patients with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) treated with semaglutide can be quantitatively explained by changes in energy expenditure and urinary glucose excretion (UGE) that occur with improved glycemic control.
