Replacing diet beverages with water over 18 months leads to greater weight loss, improved glycaemic control, and higher diabetes remission in women with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and overweight or obesity. The benefits were sustained throughout the 18-month trial.

Blood-based biomarkers (BBBs) may potentially aid earlier detection of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) following a recent revision of diagnostic criteria supporting core biomarker–based diagnosis.

In part 1 (dose ranging with and without dose escalation) of the phase II MariTide study, significant weight reduction and robust glycaemic improvement were achieved with maridebart cafraglutide (MariTide) – the first, long-acting, GIPR* antagonist and GLP-1R** agonist – in individuals with obesity or overweight and type 2 diabetes (T2D).
